Dear Colleagues, You will now find Piscator, Journal Watch and a new 'Comment' section on the Annals web site. Brian Payne has drawn together recent discussion about creatinine clearance. This was the subject of contributions to the mail base some weeks ago. This new Comment section is intended to draw on topical issues, be they on the mail base or elsewhere, and publish a scholarly view on the them. January Journal Watch is a bumper issue with contributions on a variety of topics from John Honour, Ruth Ayling, Colin Samuell, Andrew Taylor, David Holt, John Johnston and Avril Owen. Piscator touches, metaphorically, on faecal fats and urine collection vessels. If you fancy yourself as a budding Piscator give me a call!
