0.29 metres of textual records and poster

This series documents Dr. Little’s long association with St. Michael’s Hospital where he practised, researched and taught. The subject files contain correspondence, minutes of meetings, reports and other records relating to his activities on the Hospital’s Advisory Committee, the Clinical Investigation Unit, Core Lipid Laboratory, the Department of Medicine and the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Records within this series from the B2017-0005 accession contain material related to the Clinical Investigation Unit’s fructosemia case study. The study looked at Canada’s first patient diagnosed with hereditary fructose intolerance. Working with colleagues, T.W. Ptak, M.F. Glynn, M.J. Phillips, and M. Flautus, research focused on the symptoms and comorbidity of both fructose intolerance and a platelet disease. Material includes results from medical testing, general patient file, background material, lab notebooks from T.W. Ptak, draft typescripts, and correspondence that span the years 1961 to 1967.
