Barbara Ansell was a remarkable doctor who put paediatric rheumatology as a speciality on the map in the UK starting her work more than 50 years ago. She was known internationally for her classification of juvenile arthritis, research, and lecturing. Following her death more than a year ago it was decided that ADC should pay a tribute to her.
Accordingly Dr Richard Hull was invited to be Guest Editor for a special series of four rheumatology articles on new advances in treatment that I hope you find stimulating. They start with biological therapies move to intra-articular steroids then systemic methotrexate and finish with stem cell transplantation. The range and diversity of Barbara Ansell’s interests can be seen from early work on ACTH effects on growth, epiphyseal stapling for valgus deformities published in ADC in 1971, and bone density studies in Still’s disease in 1985.
