In a previous paper (Gillam, Heaf, Hoffbrand, and Hilton, 1964) it was shown that, contrary to widespread opinion, the presence of co-existing chronic bronchitis does not interfere with the treatment of bronchial carcinoma by radiotherapy. Patients with severe chronic bronchitis can be given the same dose of irradiation as those with mild bronchitis or with previously normal lungs. Survival aft...

Hexamethylenebistrimethylammonium (hexamethonium) iodide (C6) has been shown by Paton and Zaimis (1949) to exert a blocking effect at the synapses of autonomic ganglia. In a previous paper (Kay and Smith, 1950) we have shown that this compound, when given intramuscularly, inhibits the gastric secretion and motility. In the present paper we give the results obtained with the same drug administer...

As superstring solitons that carry Neuveu–Schwarz charge can be described in terms of gerbes, one expects non-Abelian gerbes to appear e.g. in the exotic six-dimensional world-volume theories of coinciding NS5 branes. We consider open bosonic strings on a space-time that is branched in such a way that the B-field is provided with the same Lie algebra structure as the world-volume gauge field on...

To develop human interfaces such as home information equipment, highly capable word learning ability is required. In particular, in order to realize user-customized and situation-dependent interaction using language, a function is needed that can build new categories online in response to presented objects for an advanced human interface. However, at present, there are few basic studies focusin...

Disorders of small bowel function after gastric surgery are well recognized and occur even after vagotomy and drainage procedures (Logan, 1964). Various aetiological factors have been suggested. They include altered motility, inadequate mixing of food and digestive enzymes, diminished pancreatic secretion, and the effect of blind or stagnant loops. Watson, Watt, Paton, Glen, and Lewis (1966) su...

This book is about New Labour’s health policy and the impact political economy has on public policy. As in other areas of the public sector, reforms based on ideas taken from the market cause reforms in the way the provision of the services is organised. When Labour came into power in 1997, the internal market was officially abandoned but important aspects of the reforms were carried out under ...
