Title number: 18360
LSA ID: LSA/21517
Description: 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 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

Further information: This video is one of more than 120 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.
