Amyloid and tau in the brain in sporadic Alzheimer’s disease: defining the chicken and the egg
No full textIn the October 2013 issue of Acta Neuropathologica there were three very interesting articles on: Amyloid or tau: the chicken or the egg? In the first article, David Mann and John Hardy argued that the deposition of aggregated amyloid β (Aβ) protein in the brain is a primary driving force behind the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease with tau pathology following as a consequential or at least a secondary event. In the communication that followed, Braak and Del Tredici presented the contrary argument with accumulation of tau protein as the primary event in sporadic Alzheimer’s disease. Attems and Jellinger questioned the concept of a chicken and egg and suggested that the majority of cases of age-associated dementia are not caused by one single primary pathological mechanism

Samuel Weller, fishmonger
No full textThe article explains how Charles Dickens may have encountered Samuel Weller, a defendant in the Birnie v Eliot and Weller case, which was heard at the Arches Court at Doctors Commons in early 1831 when Dickens was working there as a law reporter. The fact that Samuel Weller was a fishmonger with a Cockney accent gives credence to the scholar Cuthbert Bede’s hypothesis that the speech of Sam Weller in Pickwick Papers is based on the aphoristic style of the 1820’s comedian Sam Vale (known as “Valerisms”) because the Cockney accent adds a distinctive voice to the Valerisms with which Dickens was already familiar, as well as providing a name and surname that resembled “Sam Vale”. Sam Weller’s name and speech style may thus have emerged as a representation of the Cockney fishmonger, Samuel Weller, which blended a distinctive accent (/v/-/w/ slippage) with the aphoristic comparisons (Valerisms) that were already part of the vernacular in Surrey and London during the 1820’s
