Chicago began with James S. Jewell, the first President of the American Medical Association. Between the two world wars, medical neurology became somewhat beclouded by the sheer multitude of psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and psychoanalysts. Neurosurgery, too, had established itself in a position of great authority through the work of Charles Frazier and Charles Elsberg, followed closely by D...

In 1938-9 at the British Postgraduate Medical School, King & Aloisi isolated from dried pancreas a glycerophosphoric ester of choline which was found to be readily hydrolyzable. Evidence was also obtained for the existence of a dicholine ester. This work was published only in 1945 owing to war difficulties. In the same year Schmidt, Hershman & Thanmhauser (1945) reported the isolation of aglyce...

Introduction.?About eighteen months ago, we (Napier and Sen, 1940) published a preliminary paper on the treatment of kala-azar by 4 : 4'-diamidino stilbene. At the time our paper was sent to press, there were in the literature? that had arrived in this country?only two detailed reports on cases treated by this drug (Adams and Yorke, 1939; and Adler and Rachmilewitz, 1939). Since then a small sp...

On one point an important difference of opinion may exist between medico-legal workers: should a positive chemical test, in the absence of finding spermatozoa under the microscope, be accepted a& evidence of semen ? Some are in favour of doing so (Bagchi, 1937), others against (Owens, 1935; Thomas, 1937; Kamath, 1938; Glaister, 1938; McNally, 1939; Modi, 1940; Rhodes, 1940) and yet others appea...

Before the second world war several investigators had demonstrated the possibility of actively immunizing man against tetanus (Ramon and Zoeller, 1927; Jones and Moss, 1937; Marvell and,. Parish, 1940; Wolters and Dehmel, 1940). During the war this method was tested on a large scale, for in the allied armies prophylaxis against tetanus was based almost entirely on active immunization. Reports s...

The predominance of the non-sporulating anaerobic bacteria in the flora of the human intestinal tract has been repeatedly shown by the investigations of Eggerth and Gagnon (1933), Weiss and Rettger (1937), Misra (1938), and Lewis and Rettger (1940). The pathogenicity of related species has been recorded by Henthorne, Thompson and Beaver (1936), Dack, Dragstedt and Heinz (1937), Dack (1940), Bro...

This is a report on 2 cases of plaguemeningitis observed by us among the comparatively small material of 41 instances of plague treated at Wellington, Nilgiris, in 1945-46. We consider our cases worthy of record as the cerebro-spinal type of plague has been described in very few instances only, the disease being believed to be of extreme rarity. Lewillon, Devignat and Schoetter (1940) reported ...

Four new species are described: Neohemigaster angustifrons sp.n. from Vietnam, Neohenigaster antropovi sp.n. from the Russian Far East, Neohemigaster tetralineata sp.n. from Taiwan and Pterogenia tenebrica sp.n. from Taiwan. In addition to Neohemigaster ussurica (Korneyev, 2001), six species formerly assigned to Pterogenia are transferred to Neoheinigaster: Neohemigaster eurysterna (Hendel, 191...
