Heparin and related drugs have contributed in so many different ways to the drug discovery process, and have provided a platform to understand the pathophysiology of vascular and inflammatory diseases for nearly 100 years.

Hommage to reactive psychosis.

When looking back in the history of psychiatry, the concept of reactivity had very variable impact on ethiological considerations. If classification of mental disorders is taken as a proxy, it seems that this impact is presently at the lowest that it has been in the last hundred years. The author gives a short historical overview of concept of reactive psychosis, followed by a description of th...

The hypnotherapy of Dr. Andries Hoek; uncovering hypnotherapy before Janet, Breuer, and Freud.

This article gives an extensive summary of the case history followed by some comments with regard to the treatment approach used, its historical background and diagnostic issues. The case history is of historical value. It is probably the first description of the uncov...

The Large N Limits of the Chiral Potts Model Helen Au - Yang and Jacques

In this paper we study the large-N limits of the integrable N-state chiral Potts model. Three chiral solutions of the star-triangle equations are derived, with states taken from all integers, or from a finite or infinite real interval. These solutions are expected to be chiral-field lattice deformations of parafermionic conformal field theories. A new two-sided hypergeometric identity is derive...
