Can anyone help? I have been asked to find out what 'Acta' stands for as in
'Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica'.
The Latin definition I have found is: 'the seashore, the beach, especially
as a place of recreation', which doesn't seem to fit!
I have checked for a Scandinavian definition but with no success.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Best wishes
Samantha
