In so far as the history of Scotland is concerned, this family of "Seton-Gordons", i.e. the Gordons who originated from the Setons, was a more consistently im- portant factor in the affairs of State than the main line, from the early 15th Century onwards. To their undoubted success many factors contribu- ted. When Alexander de Seton, second son of Sir William de Seton, married in 1408 Elizabeth de Gordon he became through her, and her maternal relations, the .possessor of large properties. He found himself at once in the position of one of the great land owners in the North; and he and his successors were particularly skilful in "birsing yorifj;" their boundaries.

BY DONALD PATERSON, M.B. (Edin.), M.R.C.P. (London), AND RUTH DARBY, M.B., Ch.B. (Birm.). (From the Infants' Hospital, Westminster.) In order to ascertain the incidence of rickets in London a study was attempted during the months of February, MIarch and April of 1925. It was thought that these being the darkest months of the year, following on a long, sunless period, the incidence of rickets would be at its height.

In paediatrics as a whole he built up a department in which all system specialties were represented, so that Edinburgh now provides a model paediatric service. John Forfar has been one of the most prolific contributors to the literature of paediatrics and his papers cover a wide range from basic science to social paediatrics. Two particular themes reveal his most consistent long term interests. The first is that of infantile calcium metabolism, hyper- and hypo- vitaminosis D, about which he first wrote in the 1950s and which he has continued to study-most recently in Saudi Arabia.

"This is a war of the unknown warriors; but let all strive without failing in faith or in duty, and the dark curse of Hitler will be lifted from our age." Winston Churchill, broadcasting to the nation on the BBC on 14th July 1940. Guy Voice 1999-2004 1 During the Second World War the Men of Burgess Hill served their country at home and in every operational theatre. At the outset of the war in 1939, young men across the land volunteered to join those already serving in the forces. Those who were reservists or territorials, along with many, who had seen action in the First World War, joined their units or training establishments. The citizens of Burgess Hill were no different to others in Great Britain and the Commonwealth as they joined the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force in large numbers. Many more of the townspeople did valuable work on the land or in industry and, living close to the sea some served in the Merchant Navy. As the war continued many others, women included, volunteered or were called up to “do their bit”.

  • The History of Newborn Resuscitation, 1929 to 1970
    Learning to Breathe: The History of Newborn Resuscitation, 1929 to 1970. Rachel McAdams Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. University of Glasgow Faculty of Law, Business and Social Science (October 2008) 2 Abstract The history of newborn resuscitation in the twentieth century presented thus far in the writings of practitioner-historians describes a ‘hands-off’ attitude to newborn care prior to the 1950s. These practioner-historians tend to recount a positivist narrative with the rapid expansion of newborn care after WWII and the eventual logical uptake of endotracheal intubation and positive pressure resuscitation as the most effective method for treating asphyxia neonatorum. This thesis challenges this positivist narrative my examining the resuscitation of the newborn in Britain and America during the interwar period through to the late 1960s. It uncovers a much more complex and non-linear narrative for the development of newborn resuscitation during the twentieth century, uncovering some interesting themes which the practitioner-histories have not addressed. These themes include the interactions between neonatal and fetal physiologists and their research with clinicians and clinical practice, and the role of new groups of clinicians, the paediatricians and anaesthetists, in newborn resuscitation during this period. Many of the practitioner-histories ridicule what they deem to be ‘failed’ resuscitation techniques, seeing them as ‘deveiations’ from the eventual widespread adoption of positive pressure methods. My analysis of both the clinical and scientific debates surrounding both the use of positive pressure methods and some of these ‘failed’ techniques provides a more complex and detailed story. Two techniques in particular, intragastric oxygen and hyperbaric oxygen, provide useful case-studies to reflect on the factors which influenced the development of newborn resuscitation during the twentieth-century.

I have suggested that three questionnaires should be developed (1) Survey of Clan Society Members (2) General Survey of people attending Highland Games and other Scottish events. (3) A survey of local Scots in Scotland to ascertain their views of clans. I feel that we can't start to decide how to proceed until we have good knowledge of our target market which we don't currently have. I also feel this survey, which should aim at getting 100,000 respondents, should also engage both VisitScotland and Scottish Development International so that questions can be asked that might benefit these organisations as well. So we'll see how this develops. ------ Next week I'll be starting the book about Ardenmohr, Among the Hills, A Record of Scenery and Sports in the Highlands of Scotland by Samuel Abbott (1876) ------ I continue to add the odd article to our Scots Independence section where I feel it adds to the overall debate.

Professor John Forfar, President of the British Paediatric Association, gave the following citations: Professor John Lewis Emery Early in life John Emery found himself confronted with a career decision between the church, art, or medicine and fortunately chose the latter. He graduated in medicine in the University of Bristol in 1939 and almost at once showed that his primary interest was with children and the problems of childhood disease. Working with the Emergency Medical Service in the early part of the 1939-45 War he was involved in the care of evacuated children. Then began the career in pathology which he has pursued with such distinction since, first at Bristol for five years and then at Sheffield as Consultant Pathologist to the Children's Hospital. It is there http://adc.bmj.com/ that his main life's work has been carried out.

  • The Royal Society of Edinburgh Issue 7 • Autumn 2003
    news THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH ISSUE 7 • AUTUMN 2003 RESOURCE THE NEWSLETTER OF SCOTLAND’S NATIONAL ACADEMY Gannochy Trust Innovation Award of The Royal Society of Edinburgh won by Dr Barbara Spruce Groundbreaking cancer research has won a Dundee-based doctor Scotland’s top new award for innovation. Dr Barbara Spruce, based at Ninewells Hospital and Medical School at The University of Dundee, fought off strong competition to become the first winner of the Gannochy Trust Innovation Award of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. A partnership between The Gannochy Trust and the RSE led to the creation of this coveted award which carries a cheque for £50,000 and a specially commissioned gold medal. The prestigious medal was presented by Nobel Laureate and distinguished scientist and innovator, Professor Sir James Black, OM, FRS, Hon FRSE at an awards ceremony held in Scone Palace in June. Dr Spruce won the award for developing what may become an important treatment advance for cancer patients. She has identified an achilles’ heel in cancer cells and a way to cause them to self-destruct, without harming normal cells. This normal “cell death” process, called apoptosis, was discovered by a former RSE President, Sir Alastair Currie, and has opened up an important field of research.

When used together with chemotherapy or radiotherapy, dosages of these could be reduced, lessening their side effects and treatments could be tailored specifically to the patients’ needs.
