Talk:Miles Vaughan Williams

Singh
There have been some recent edits related to the contribution by Singh, but these contributions have been reversed (by others) as unreferenced. In case this occurs again, I though that I'd start a discussion here about the classification system. The Singh DPhil thesis referred to, according to the Oxford library catalogue is:

Singh, B. N. (Bramah N.)(1971) A study of the pharmacological actions of certain drugs and hormones with particular reference to cardiac muscle. x, 155 leaves : illustrations ; 27 cm

Key joint papers between Singh and Vaughan Williams were published in 1970, which appear to relate to amiodarone and other Class III compounds.

There is a broader article on antidysrhymic drugs by Vaughan-Williams in 1970, and there are a flurry of 1969 articles from Vaughan-Williams and others (but not Singh) discussing antidysrthymic drugs.

Vaughan-Williams had a clear interest, and published on, cardiac arrhythmias back from his time working with Burn in 1956, and developed important experimental techniques necessary for study such arrthymias in the 1950s.

So, to my eye, its not clear that Singh had a leading role, and that contributions of many others were equally important (and earlier), with Vaughan-Williams leading the line of enquiry. Klbrain (talk) 17:07, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

"You Don't Need a Gym"
Is that book really by the same guy as the article? It doesn't seem like it. Penguinmlle (talk) 17:17, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Odd but true; I have a copy, and have talked to him about it. Interesting what one decides to do post-retirement! Klbrain (talk) 13:52, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
