A Charing Cross Printer, Robert Wyer

An assessment of one year of computer-assisted microbiology reporting at Charing Cross Hospital.

The pilot scheme began in August 1972 after three months of running parallel with a conventional system. In October 1972 the system was moved from Fulham Hospital into the new Charing Cross Hospital. Sixty thousand routine bacteriology requests have been processed satisfactorily by the computer system, about 70% of the total received. The cost for a computer-printed report is 32p compared with ...

The marine environment here represents one of the most diverse and species-rich around the country, and the measures are planned to stop damage to coral reefs by scallop dredging within the bay. While the dredgers are clearly unhappy, others hope the move will mark economic benefits for other users of these waters and fishermen outside the zone. And B...

The identification of particular molecular interactions therefore has been a crucial first step in many cellular studies. Traditionally, biochemical techniques have proven to be an effective indicator of interactions between two proteins of interest. These techniques are almost always limited to in vitro studies, however. More recently, technological advances in fluorescence microscopy and fluo...
