A clinical lecture on shaking palsy. By Thomas Buzzard, MD, FRCP. (Physician to the National Hospital for the Paralyzed and Epileptic). Brain 1882; 4: 473-492 and On-off fluctuations in Parkinson's disease. A clinical and neuropharmacological study. By RJ Hardie, AJ Lees and GM Stern. (From the Department of Neurology, University College Hospital, London WC1). Brain 1984; 107: 487-506.

Thomas Buzzard (1831–1919) never attended medical school but was one of the last doctors to enter medicine through apprenticeship to a general practitioner. Appointed to the staff of the National Hospital for the Paralyzed and Epileptic in 1867, at the suggestion of Hughlings Jackson, Buzzard was one of that small group of physicians who helped ‘Queen Square’ acquire its international reputation (Fig. 1). He doubled-up as a medical journalist; dealt with the Soho (London) outbreak of cholera in 1854; and served with the Turkish army in the Crimean War. He resigned his hospital appointment in 1906. Sir Gordon Holmes did not consider that Thomas Buzzard contributed much to the advance of neurology but acknowledged that he was a sound and practical physician who taught well. Buzzard wrote on The simulation of hysteria by organic disease (1891), delivered the Harveian Lectures for 1885 on Some forms of paralysis from peripheral neuritis (1886) and published on Clinical aspects of syphilitic nervous affections (1874). In 1882, Buzzard published a series of 25 lectures, mostly delivered at the National Hospital, as Clinical lectures on disease of the nervous system . The one on paralysis agitans is also the first article in Brain on Parkinson's disease (printed without mutual attribution having a few sentences omitted or inserted but otherwise unchanged). Fig. 1 The honorary medical staff of the national hospital, Queen Square, 1897. Thomas Buzzard is standing at the back right. From Holmes, G., The National Hospital Queen Square, 1860–1948 (1954). Edinburgh and London: E. & S. Livingstone. Plate III facing page 41. So graphic and admirable is James Parkinson's original description that little remains for subsequent observers to add: ‘involuntary tremulous motion, with lessened muscular power, in parts not in action and even when supported; with a propensity to bend the trunk forwards and to pass …

A mitochondrial myopathy characterised by a deficiency in reducible cytochrome b. By JA Morgan-Hughes, P Darveniza, SN Kahn, DN Langdon, RM Sherratt, JM Land and JB Clark (From the Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London WC1 and the Biochemistry Department, St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College, London EC1) Brain 1977; 100: 617-640.

Hitherto, morphological changes seen in mitochondria obtained from samples of skeletal muscle in a variety of neuromuscular disorders have not been correlated with functional abnormalities and so have not been considered significant for the pathogenesis of these conditions. But more recently, investigators from Cornell University have linked these same ultrastructural features to a primary biochemical abnormality of mitochondrial function. The evidence hints at a disturbance of cellular respiration in the presence of various substrates. In Luft's disease, hyper-metabolism (not of thyroid origin) is observed but, for the rest, insights into the disease mechanisms are lacking. Now that situation changes. ‘The present paper reports the findings in a man whose weakness and striking muscular fatigability appeared to be due to a primary disturbance of mitochondrial function. Biochemical studies of isolated mitochondrial fractions have shown a specific deficiency of reducible cytochrome b’. N.T., now aged 38 years, has had weakness and muscle fatigue since early childhood and has not been able to run or play games from his mid-teens. Nor was he able to continue his apprenticeship as a tailor through inability to work the foot-operated treadle of a sewing machine. Later, some bulbar symptoms emerged. Cold and alcohol seem to make him worse. On examination, he is short in stature with normal appearing if somewhat wasted muscles but showing weakness of the face (sparing the eyelids and eye movements), neck, and shoulder and pelvic girdles. The tendon reflexes are absent in the legs. ‘The most striking abnormality was a marked and progressive increase in muscle weakness during sustained activity … or repetitive manoeuvres … after a few minutes of complete rest, muscle strength returned to its pre-exercise level’. Screening investigations show only an excess of urinary lactate and pyruvate. Routine electromyography is equally unremarkable although his ability to exert maximal voluntary …

Note on a reflex mechanism in the fixation of the eyeballs. By WR Gowers, MD, Assistant-Professor of Clinical Medicine in University College (London). Brain 1879: 2; 39-41 and Supranuclear palsy of eyelid closure. By RW Ross Russell. The National Hospital for Nervous Diseases, Queen Square, London WC1; St Thomas's Hospital, London SE1; Moorfield's Eye Hospital, City Road, London EC1. Brain

Closure of the eyelids—voluntarily or as part of the reflex response to corneal stimulation, noise or visual threat—involves coordinated contraction of the orbital and preseptal portions of the orbicularis oculi muscles with relaxation of the elevator of the upper lid. Perhaps the pretarsal portion of the muscle is preferentially activated in the reflex movements and the more peripheral parts in voluntary eye closure. Ralph Ross Russell describes three patients, each with Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, having a variant of supranuclear palsy in which voluntary and reflex eyelid closure are dissociated. A professional musician, aged 52 years, complains of difficulty with rapid movements of the left hand and he cannot close his eyes unless by gently pressing downwards on the upper lids with his fingertips whereupon they remain shut but can voluntarily be opened. His eyes close spontaneously during sleep. Neurological examination confirms the dissociation between impaired voluntary eye closure and intact reflex blinking, and (initially) in the absence of other signs apart from a brisk jaw jerk. Over the next 6 months, he progresses through stages of mild upper motor involvement of the bulbar and limb musculature to impairment of voluntary and pursuit eye movements and a complete inability to close the eyes, although the lids continue to move during downgaze. The disorders of bulbar function, eye movement and limb spasticity increase and are eventually associated with focal muscle wasting and fasciculation, and dementia leading to death at 2 years after presentation. A motor mechanic, aged 32 years, complains of difficulty using the right hand and slurred speech. He has a pseudobulbar palsy and upper motor neuron signs in the limbs. After 12 months slow progression of these complaints, and the emergence of dementia, he develops difficulty with ocular refixation such …

Science in culture: Home from home

History is brought to life at Benjamin Franklin's house in London. From 1757 to 1775, Benjamin Franklin lived in Craven Street, London WC2. In January this year, his house at number 36 opened as a museum. In keeping with Franklin's contributions to science as well as political history, the museum features a science centre where students can repeat Franklin's London experiments themselves. There's more on Franklin, this time his contribution to medicine, on page 815.

Reduction of S-nitrosoglutathione by radicals : [formula omitted], Peter Wardman and Martin N Hughes Gray Laboratory Cancer Research Trust, PO Box 100, Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood, Middx HA6 2JR, UK †Dept. of Chemistry, King's College, London WC2 2LS, UK

In phosphate buffer solution the half-life of the PBN-superoxide spin adduct is very short. However, as a result of the formation of inclusion complexes, its ESR signal was easily detected for up to 25 min when the trapping of superoxide anion with PBN was carried out in the presence of different cyclodextrins. Furthermore, the formation of these inclusion complexes results in a significant protection of the PBN-superoxide adduct against l-ascorbate monoanion reduction.

The Euro and International Equity Flows

We use a new panel data set on bilateral gross cross-border equity flows between 14 countries. We fit a “gravity model” to these data and a strictly comparable set of data for manufactures trade between these countries. The results are strikingly similar, although the coefficient on the distance variable is lower for equity than for trade flows (but still highly significant). We use the results to throw some light on the likely consequences of unifying the European equity markets.J. Japan. Int. Econ.December 1998,12(4), pp. 406–423.
