This may be significant if the patient has to use crutches or sticks. There is still a great deal for us to learn in this problem of ankylosing spondylitis, both as regards aetiology and treatment. Some success has been achieved in rendering the lives of these unfortunate patients more tolerable by earlier, and more widespread surgery and better diagnosis is doing a great deal to prevent severe and disabling deformities; but all too frequently the demand for difficult reconstructive surgery is apparent, and can be dramatically well worth while. In conclusion I would like to thank the many colleagues who have so kindly helped me to build up this series of cases, and I would like to pay a tribute to the skill of the anaesthetists, nursing and physiotherapy staffs in their handling of these rigidly deformed patients.

  • Pancreatic Organotherapy for Diabetes, 1889-1921
    Medical History, 1995, 39: 288-316 Pancreatic Organotherapy for Diabetes, 1889-1921 ROBERT TATTERSALL* Introduction The isolation of insulin by Banting and Best in 1921 and its rapid commercial exploitation revolutionized the treatment of diabetes. The story, frequently told as a romance of medicine, is that a young orthopaedic surgeon, Frederick Banting, went to the local Professor of Physiology, J J R Macleod, asking for facilities to try to isolate the internal secretion of the pancreas. Macleod was sceptical but provided a lab, dogs and a student assistant to measure blood sugar. After only three months, Banting and Charles Best isolated a potent anti-diabetic substance which was first used on a human diabetic in January 1922. Controversy followed when Banting and Macleod, not Banting and Best, were awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize. Much has been written about the events in Toronto in 1921-1922l as well as about the priority disputes which followed.2 Two editorials in the Lancet in 1923 questioned why this discovery had taken so long.3 The seductively simple critique ran as follows: in 1869, Paul Langerhans described his eponymous islands, in 1889 Oskar Minkowski produced severe diabetes in dogs by pancreatectomy, in 1891 George Murray cured myxoedema by injections of thyroid extract and in 1893 Gustave-Edouard Laguesse suggested that the islands of Langerhans produced "an endocrine secretion" which controlled carbohydrate metabolism. How could it have taken thirty years for therapeutics to exploit the physiological suggestion? The origins of the hormone concept and the history of organotherapy in general have been explored in detail by Merriley Borell.4 Her work focuses on the role of physiologists, *Professor Robert Tattersall, Diabetes Unit, 1954, 9: 281-9, and W R Feasby, 'The discovery of University Hospital, Nottingham NG7 2UH.

  • The Extra-Oral Approach to the Ascending Ramus Is Difficult Owing to the Proximity of the Facial Nerve
    J. H. HOVELL The extra-oral approach to the ascending ramus is difficult owing to the proximity of the facial nerve. The intra-oral approach is, however, quite simple and fixation by sigmoid notch wiring straightforward. It was not until I was well advanced with my assessment of these cases that my views on open ascending ramus slides became modified. I have not yet done a sufficient number of these cases to form other than tentative conclusions, but I feel that this lecture would not be complete without at least this mention of my most recent work. In conclusion I must again thank Mr. C. Bowdler Henry for allowing me access to his cases and Mr. Richard Battle for his helpful advice and encouragement. Also I owe much to personal communications from many of my colleagues, especially Mr. Fickling, Mr. Fordyce and Mr. Rowe. Last but not least I must acknowledge the great help received from the photographic and X-ray departments of the Royal Dental Hospital and St. Thomas's Hospital and ofnumerous registrars and house- men who have assisted me in this work. I consider it a great honour to have been selected for this lecture and I wish to thank the Council of the College for so doing, and also all present this evening for having come to hear it.

    medicine and biomedical sciences in modern history sciences modern in biomedical and medicine BELLY-RIPPERS, SURGICAL INNOVATION AND THE OVARIOTOMY CONTROVERSY SALLY FRAMPTON Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Modern History Series Editors Carsten Timmermann University of Manchester Manchester, UK Michael Worboys University of Manchester Manchester, UK The aim of this series is to illuminate the development and impact of medicine and the biomedical sciences in the modern era. The series was founded by the late Professor John Pickstone, and its ambitions refect his commitment to the integrated study of medicine, science and tech- nology in their contexts. He repeatedly commented that it was a pity that the foundation discipline of the feld, for which he popularized the acronym ‘HSTM’ (History of Science, Technology and Medicine) had been the history of science rather than the history of medicine. His point was that historians of science had too often focused just on scientifc ideas and institutions, while historians of medicine always had to consider the understanding, management and meanings of diseases in their socio-economic, cultural, technological and political contexts. In the event, most of the books in the series dealt with medicine and the biomedical sciences, and the changed series title refects this. However, as the new editors we share Professor Pickstone’s enthusiasm for the inte- grated study of medicine, science and technology, encouraging studies on biomedical science, translational medicine, clinical practice, disease histories, medical technologies, medical specialisms and health policies. The books in this series will present medicine and biomedical science as crucial features of modern culture, analysing their economic, social and political aspects, while not neglecting their expert content and con- text.
