The birth of the intermittent injectate-based conventional pulmonary artery catheter (fondly nicknamed PAC) was proudly announced in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1970 by his parents HJ Swan and William Ganz. PAC grew rapidly, reaching manhood in 1986 where, in the US, he was shown to influence the management of over 40% of all ICU patients. His reputation, however, was tarnished in 19...

This paper presents an assessment of normalised flood losses in Europe for the period 1970–2006. Normalisation provides an estimate of the losses that would occur if the floods from the past take place under current societal conditions. Economic losses from floods are the result of both societal and climatological factors. Failing to adjust for time-variant socio-economic factors produces loss ...

merase (EC 2.7.7.6) have been demonstrated in eukaryotic cells (Roeder & Rutter, 1969; Jacob et al., 1970a; Kedinger et al., 1970; Mondal et al., 1970; Horgen & Griffin, 1971; Strain et al., 1971). RNA polymerase I (or A), which is associated with the nucleolus (Roeder & Rutter, 1970), is probably engaged in the transcription of nucleolar genes to form rRNA (Blatti et al., 1970; Tocchini-Valent...
