Excerpt: Professor Sydney Selwyn (7 November 1934 8 November 1996) was a British physician and medical scientist. He was a medical microbiologist (with a profound interest in bacteriology), recognised authority on the history of medicine, avid collector, writer, lecturer, world traveller and occasional radio and TV broadcaster. He married in 1957 and had four children. Born in Leeds, UK, 7 November 1934, Died in London, UK, 8 November 1996 Selwyn's parents owned and ran a small but successful butchers shop in Leeds and originally expected him to follow them in their trade or at least something similar. It was all the more remarkable that he chose instead to devote his life to science and academia given that (so far as is known) no member of his family before him had ever considered continuing their education beyond the then normal school leaving age of 14, let alone gone to university. As a working class boy growing up in England in the 1930s, and during WWII, it was therefore a great achievement for him to win a scholarship to be educated at the prestigious and ancient Leeds Grammar School. He then went on to study at the University of Edinburgh from which he graduated with a BSc, MB ChB, and MD. Worked briefly (from 1959 1960) as a house physician in Edinburgh City Hospital before becoming a lecturer in bacteriology at University of Edinburgh Medical School (1961 1966). In 1967 he became one of the youngest-ever Visiting Professors for the World Health Organisation (WHO) at Baroda University in India, as well as a WHO SE Asia medical consultant. He toured India extensively visiting not only towns and cities but also many remote rural areas as part of his WHO project to greatly improve the standards of health and hygiene at various hospitals.

Product Description
The book contains original articles and reviews presentedat the 6th International Winter Conference on Neurodegeneration, heldfrom November 20-23, 1997 in Kitzbhel/Austria. The aim of thisconference was to present and discuss recent data on the interfacebetween neuroimmunology and neurodegeneration, in particularsusceptibility to autoimmune and neurodegenerative processes,neuroprotection and restorative treatment strategies. These issueswere discussed in the light of recent developments in multiplesclerosis, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,Huntington's disease and multisystem atrophy. The articles highlighttopics, which are particularly interesting for the clinician and theneuroscientist. Some of the neuroprotective strategies have alreadybeen developed or are at present clinically investigated. Theneuroprotective role of deep brain stimulation, antiglutamatergictherapy and apomorphine will be verified in clinical studies in thenear future. This is also the case for future therapeutic approachesto restoration of the damaged nervous system, such as somatic genetherapy, implantation of genetically modified cell-lines and medicallycontrolled and directed development of embryonic cells. The conferencehighlighted the role of the glia, which seems to play a key role, bothin traditionally as neuroimmunological and neurodegenerative disordersclassified diseases, as indicated above. The topics discussed in thebook are significant for recent developments in clinical neurology andneuroscience, as shown in the current literature and at internationalcongresses. ... Read more
