Sam Moskowitz: A Bibliography and Guide
No full textA comprehensive bibliography of the writings of Sam Moskowitz. Sam Moskowitz was a fixture in science fiction, from near the beginning to the present day. He was a fan, editor, author, historian, critic, WorldCon
organizer, and cheerleader for the science fiction field. He was a prolific author of books, articles and letters. His books are readily available in libraries or for sale. The same cannot be said of many of his articles, and
certainly not of his letters. Many of the articles and letters appeared in science fiction pulps and in fanzines. Some of the fanzines were quite professional in appearance, content and editing, and served a valuable service to science fiction scholarship in preserving much of the early history of science fiction. The writings of Sam Moskowitz are an important part of that historical archive. Eric Davin notes that "Sam Moskowitz saw himself as the science fictionhistorian of record." It is a good description. He researched and recorded
much about the beginnings of science fiction that remains the only resource available on a particular person or topic. An accurate scholarly judgment of the historical and critical output of Moskowitz remains to be done. This edition supercedes "Sam Moskowitz: A Preliminary Bibliography" (2009)

Studies in the Control of Gastric Secretion
No full textThe problem of gastrlo physiology has absorbed the attention of Investigators since the days of the cunning Abbe Spallanzani who performed a series of weird and ingenious experiments on himself and on lower animals, in order to determine the nature of gastric digestion. Although noting the acid character of the juice he failed to recognize its real significance and regarded it as an abnormality. The English physician John Hunter (17) thought acid appeared in the stomach only after death which explained the post mortem digestion of that organ. A young American, John Young, in the beginning of the nineteenth century emphasized the acid character of the juice and named it phosphoric acid. It remained for William Front, an Englishman, to show that the acid in the stomach was hydrochloric acid. Hut it was William Beaumont, an American Army surgeon, and his intractable Alexis St. Martin, the victim of an accidental gunshot wound which resulted in a permanent gastric fistula, who revived the interest in this field in the middle of the nineteenth century. He used Alexis St. Martin as we today use our laboratory animals with the difference that we control our laboratory animals while Alexis controlled Dr. Beaumont. After years of strenuous and diligent work Beaumont published his now classical work "Experiments and observations on the Nature of the Gastric Juice and the Physiology of Digestion" in 1833. During that same century Claude Bernard, father of experimental physiology, continued the work on the physiology of the stomach and published his very famous "Du sue gastric et son role dans la nutrition".ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
Function of BID - a molecule of the bcl-2 family - in ischemic cell death in the brain
No full textMitochondrial mechanisms, particularly the release of cytochrome c, play a role in the death of nerve and glial cells in cerebral ischemia. We have currently investigated whether BID, a proapoptotic molecule of the bcl-2 family and promoter of the release of cytochrome c is expressed in the brain, activated by cerebral ischemia in vivo, and contributes to ischemic cell death. We found BID in the cytosol of mouse brain and of primary cultured mouse neurons and showed that neuronal BID is a substrate for caspase 8. BID was cleaved in vivo 4 h after transitory occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. Further, BID-/- mice had a significant attenuation of infarction (-67%) and significantly lower release of cytochrome c (-41 %). The findings indicate that the proapoptotic molecule BID may contribute to the demise of nerve cells from cerebral ischemia by release of cytochrome c and activation of caspase. Copyright (C) 2002 S.
