    Summary: The birth of Louise Joy Brown - the world's first baby born following in-vitro fertilization - heralded a medical revolution. Forty years later, many thousands of babies are born each year following IVF. Assisted reproduction is a global industry with a multi-billion dollar turnover. It is a complex mix of science, clinical management, bioethics, and commercial imperatives. Many of the pioneers of IVF are still with us and have a fascinating tale to tell. Here, they relate the story of the development of IVF and related technologies in a way that will prove invaluable to future generations of practitioners seeking to understand the genesis of the specialty. This is not an academic history: rather it takes an informal and anecdotal approach; informing and entertaining for generations of past, present and future medical and scientific specialists of IVF, alongside the millions of parents, who celebrated the successes of IVF treatment worldwide.

    Fourteen hypochlorhydric patients suffering from atrophic gastritis were tested with pentagastrin and randomly distributed in groups treated per os : one by a placebo, the other by eserine amine oxide. In the placebo group we did not observe a variation in the acid output nor in the acid concentration of the parietal component. In the patients treated with eserine amine oxide, the acid secretion and the acid concentration of the parietal component increased on treatment (p less than 0.01). In two other groups of hypochlorhydric patients tested with pentagastrin (n = 25) or with histamine ( n = 38) and treated for periods of one to three months we also observed an increase in the acid output and the acid concentration of the parietal component. These facts could be explained by an increase in the number of functional cell units, accompanied by a qualitative variation in the parietal component during treatment the patients suffering from atrophic gastritis.
