The Lancet is a weekly peer-reviewed general medical journal. It is one of the world's oldest and best known general medical journals, and has been described as one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world.
The Lancet was founded in 1823 by Thomas Wakley, an English surgeon who named it after the surgical instrument called a lancet, as well as after the architectural term "lancet arch", a window with a sharp pointed arch, to indicate the "light of wisdom" or "to let in light".
The Lancet publishes original research articles, review articles ("seminars" and "reviews"), editorials, book reviews, correspondence, as well as news features and case reports. The Lancet has been owned by Elsevier since 1991. As of 2015, the editor-in-chief is Richard Horton. The journal has editorial offices in London, New York, and Beijing.
In the 2014 Journal Citation Reports, The Lancet was ranked second among general medical journals, (with an impact factor of 45), after The New England Journal of Medicine (impact factor of 56).

Bionic reconstruction to restore hand function after brachial plexus injury: a case series of three patients.

Vaccine coverage is one solution that prevents the need for antibiotics. Our study published in the Lancet series "Antimicrobials: access and sustainable effectiveness" shows that universal coverage with a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) would bring about a 47 percent reduction in the number of days children under five need to take antibiotics for infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, or 11.4 million days of antibiotics annually in the 75 countries included in the vaccine coverage analysis.

A lancet window is a tall, narrow window with a pointed arch at its top.It acquired the "lancet" name from its resemblance to a lance.Instances of this architectural motif are typical of Gothic ecclesiastical structures of the earliest period.Lancet windows may occur singly, or paired under a single moulding, or grouped in an odd number with the tallest window at the centre. ---Image-Copyright-and-Permission--- About the author(s): Andreas F.

Dr. Andrew Wakefield worked at London’s Royal Free Hospital as a gastroenterologist. The Lancet published his study on 2/28/98, but retracted it in 2010. It was a case series of observational studies of small cases that were unusual. These cases strongly suggested that the MMR vaccine triggered autism with his patients. He advocates vaccines, but only single dose vaccines, and not the MMR. He was singled out and his life's work has been dragged through the dirt. Here is his side of the story. For more on autism and it's link to the vaccines with credible medical literature sources to support this theory, visit: http://unhoodwinked.com/2014/11/12/autism-and-the-vaccine-trigger/
