Notes

This video is one of around 310 titles, originally broadcast on Channel 7 of the ILEA closed-circuit television network, given to Wellcome Trust from the University of London Audio-Visual Centre shortly after it closed in the late 1980s. Although some of these programmes might now seem rather out-dated, they probably represent the largest and most diversified body of medical video produced in any British university at this time, and give a comprehensive and fascinating view of the state of medical and surgical research and practice in the 1970s and 1980s, thus constituting a contemporary medical-historical archive of great interest. The lectures mostly take place in a small and intimate studio setting and are often face-to-face. The lecturers use a wide variety of resources to illustrate their points, including film clips, slides, graphs, animated diagrams, charts and tables as well as 3-dimensional models and display boards with movable pieces. Some of the lecturers are telegenic while some are clearly less comfortable about being recorded; all are experts in their field and show great enthusiasm to share both the latest research and the historical context of their specialist areas.

Contents

Segment 1 Landon briefly recounts the content of his previous lecture on the same subject area. He then shows a table listing all the current uses of radioimmunoassays, then a further table relating to which hormones and proteins radioimmunoassays can be used for. Time start: 00:00:00:00 Time end: 00:05:45:00 Length: 00:05:45:00
Segment 2 Landon looks, in detail, at a long series of assay studies by various international researchers and recounts their results. Time start: 00:05:45:00 Time end: 00:10:35:17 Length: 00:04:50:17
Segment 3 Landon continues to show the results of different assay experiments from across the globe. Time start: 00:10:35:17 Time end: 00:15:16:17 Length: 00:04:41:00
Segment 4 Landon talks further about different assay experiments from various international researchers. He then focuses on a radioimmunoassay study for HPL in pregnancy Time start: 00:15:16:17 Time end: 00:19:00:18 Length: 00:03:44:01
Segment 5 We hear about the various plasma proteins for which radioimmunoassays have been set up. Landon shows a flow chart of the human clotting mechanism and a graph detailing the assay for fibrinogen. Time start: 00:19:00:18 Time end: 00:26:07:18 Length: 00:07:07:00
Segment 6 Landon discusses hormones further, then shows more charts detailing the results of various assay experiments. Time start: 00:26:07:18 Time end: 00:31:57:00 Length: 00:05:49:07
Segment 7 Landon focuses, in particular, on an assay study for the hormone digoxin. He then sums up the lecture and concludes with an optimistic outlook for chemists: "The future of medicine lies in the laboratory and not at the bedside." Time start: 00:31:57:00 Time end: 00:37:56:03 Length: 00:05:59:03
