A History of the Chambers Dictionary
The series features monographs and edited volumes on the topics of lexicography and meta-lexicography.

600 new names for book of fame
Stella McCartney, David Beckham and serial murderer Harold Shipman meet for the first time in the controversial new edition of one of the world's oldest reference books. Footballer David Beckham - writing his second autobiography at 27 - is inserted between an 18th century English art collector and a German chemist. His 17 lines greatly outnumber those in the entry of another newcomer, Tory party leader, Iain Duncan Smith. Victoria Beckham, however, must make do with a small collective entry on her band, the Spice Girls. The ephemeral world of entertainment accounts for the most new entries, including Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman, George Clooney and Russell Crowe. New British actors include Jim Broadbent, who won an Oscar for his role in Iris, although no reference to the award or the film is included. Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle and Jane Horrocks - who entered Who's Who in 2000 - all feature.

Two-year outcomes of the MINIject drainage system for uncontrolled glaucoma from the STAR-I first-in-human trial
Background/AimsThe current study evaluates the efficacy and safety of the stand-alone implantation of the MINIject (iSTAR Medical, Wavre, Belgium) supraciliary, microinvasive glaucoma drainage device in patients with medically uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma.MethodsThis prospective, multicentre, first-in-human, single-arm interventional study evaluated stand-alone, ab interno implantation in 25 patients of a 5 mm long uveoscleral device made of STAR biocompatible material, which is a soft, microporous, flexible silicone. The primary outcome was the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) at 6 months compared with baseline, and follow-up continued until 2 years for 21 patients. Secondary outcomes included success defined as diurnal IOP of ≤21 mmHg and >5 mmHg with an IOP reduction of 20% without (complete) or with/without (qualified) glaucoma medication.ResultsMean baseline IOP was 23.2±2.9 mmHg on 2.0±1.1 glaucoma medication ingredients and decreased to 13.8±3.5 mmHg (−40.7% reduction) on 1.0±1.3 medications 2 years after implantation. Complete success was achieved in 47.6% of patients (10/21) and qualified success in 100% of patients (21/21) at the 2-year follow-up. All patients achieved a 20% IOP reduction with 48% of patients medication-free. No serious ocular adverse events or additional glaucoma surgery were reported. Mean central endothelial cell density (ECD) mildly decreased from 2411 cells/mm2 (n=26) to 2341 cells/mm2 (n=21) at 24 months, which represents a 5% decrease for matched eyes. No patient had a ≥30% decrease in central ECD.ConclusionThis first-in-human study on the stand-alone implantation of the MINIject supraciliary drainage system shows promising IOP-lowering results and medication reduction over 24 months with few adverse events.Trial registration numberNCT03193736.
