The Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine offers several prizes for manuscripts published in The Journal during the previous year and judged by an independent Awards Committee to be outstanding contributions to the medical literature. The committee's task certainly was formidable, but as expected, it has chosen wisely and well. The efforts of the members are much appreciated.

The 1997 Ralph Colp Award honors the memory of a distinguished Chief of Surgery at The Mount Sinai Hospital.

It is for the best paper on a surgical topic. The chairperson of the Awards Committee informed me, after a prolonged discussion and many secret ballots by the members of the committee, that they were unable to select a single paper from the many which had been nominated. Therefore, the committee recommended that two papers be designated as recipients of the 1997 Colp Award. I am presenting them in chronologic order of their publication. The first award goes to Yun Peng Huang, M.D.; Toshio Okudera, M.D.;Akio Fukusumi, M.D.; Fumiaki Maehara, M.D.; Aryeh L. Stollman, M.D.; Roger Mosesson, M.D.; Mika Lidov, M.D.; and Harold A. Mitty, M.D., for their paper entitled "Venous Architecture of Cerebral Hemispheric White Matter and Comments on Pathogenesis of Medullary Venous and Other Cerebral Vascular Malformations," Volume 64, No. 3:197-206. The second award goes to Salvatore Silvestri, M.D., and Susan Aronson, M.D., for their paper entitled "Severe Head Injury: Prehospital and Emergency Department Management," Volume 64, Nos. 4 & 5:329-338.

The 1997 Globus Award, established in honor of the first and long-time editor of The Journal, is for the best overall paper on a clinical topic. The award goes to Harry Spiera, M.D., and Robert F. Spiera, M.D., for their paper entitled "Silicone Breast Implants and Connective Tissue Disease: An Overview," Volume 64, No. 6:363-371.

On behalf of the Editorial Staff, I am delighted to recognize the outstanding scholarship and contributions of our 1997 awardees to medicine in general, and to The Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine in particular.
