Apology
In the last issue, Volume 120, No. 2, May 2015 on page iii, there was a presentation on the Uppsala Medical History Museum. Unfortunately, the name of the author of this contribution was dropped in the editorial handling of the text. Eva Ahlsten, Director of the museum, wrote that report. We apologize for the mistake.
