GEORGE FLEMING PRIZE

The George Fleming Prize was historically awarded for an article of particular clinical relevance to the practitioner. In 1992 the British Veterinary Journal adopted an aggressive policy to emphasize the originality and quality of science in its publications. Consequently the prize was opened to non-clinical papers and is based on its contribution to scientific and veterinary knowledge. It is with great pleasure that the British Veterinary Journal is able to present the 1992 George Fleming Prize to a paper which demonstrates the highest standards of originality and scientific quality and which is also of particular clinical relevance to the practitioner. This year the award is for a paper titled 'The Comparative Effectiveness of Three Comercial Oral Solutions in Correcting Fluid Electrolyte and Acid-Base Dis- turbances caused by Calf Diarrhoea', by A.R. Michell, H.W. Brooks, D.G. White and A.J. Wagstaff (Volume 148, pp 507-522).

Fluid, electrolyte and acid-base disturbances are of enormous importance in human and veterinary medicine and in both fields of study oral rehydration solutions are true life savers. Their use is, however, limited by a lack of scientific data on how they actually work and this is a reflection on the difficulty of con- ducting well controlled scientific and clinical studies on them. Dr Michell and his colleagues have tackled the problems and generated data which is scientifically sound and clinically useful, and they have to be congratulated on their efforts. Their approach will allow the formulation of rehydration solutions on a scientific basis and the rational therapeutic choices to be made for the individual animal patient.

It is fitting to finish with a quotation from the paper which puts its significance into perspective--"Simply recommending 'oral rehydration' in the 1990s is as imprecise as advocating 'antibiotics' in earlier decades".
