Pascal's Law01:04

Pascal's Law

In 1653, the French philosopher and scientist Blaise Pascal published "Treatise on the Equilibrium of Liquids," which discussed the principles of static fluids. A static fluid is a fluid that is not in motion. When a fluid is not flowing, we say that the fluid is in static equilibrium. If the fluid is water, we say it is in hydrostatic equilibrium. For a fluid in static equilibrium, the net force on any part of the fluid must be zero; otherwise, the fluid will start to flow. Pascal observed...
Bernoulli's Principle01:01

Bernoulli's Principle

Bernoulli's equation incorporates how fluid pressure changes across a static, incompressible fluid by equating the kinetic energy contribution to zero. It is also helpful in analyzing horizontal flows in which the gravitational energy density is constant throughout. The latter equation is so useful that it is called Bernoulli's principle. According to Bernoulli's principle, the fluid pressure drops if the speed increases and vice versa.
Bernoulli's principle has several applications. It is used...
Bernoulli's Equation00:59

Bernoulli's Equation

In the middle of the nineteenth century, it was observed that two trains passing each other at a high relative speed get pulled towards each other. The same occurs when two cars pass each other at a high relative speed. The reason is that the fluid pressure drops in the region where the fluid speeds up. As the air between the trains or the cars increases in speed, its pressure reduces. The pressure on the outer parts of the vehicles is still the atmospheric pressure, while the resultant...
Convergent Evolution01:54

Convergent Evolution

Evolution shapes the features of organisms over time, ensuring that they are suited for the environments in which they live. Sometimes, selection pressure leads to the rise of similar but unrelated adaptations in organisms with no recent common ancestors, a process known as convergent evolution.
Conformity01:20

Conformity

Conformity is the change in a person’s behavior to go along with the group, even if that person does not agree with the group.
The Colonization of Land02:22

The Colonization of Land

Changes in the environment of the early Earth drove the evolution of organisms. As prokaryotic organisms in the oceans began to photosynthesize, they produced oxygen. Eventually, oxygen saturated the oceans and entered the air, resulting in an increase in atmospheric oxygen concentration, known as the oxygen revolution approximately 2.3 billion years ago. Therefore, organisms that could use oxygen for cellular respiration had an advantage. More than 1.5 years ago, eukaryotic cells and...

Area of Science:

  • Medical History
  • Rheumatology
  • Skeletal Pathology

Background:

  • Bernard Connor's 1693 thesis described ankylosing spondylitis, a potential first documented case of fused vertebrae.
  • This finding challenges the long-standing eponym Strümpell-Marie-Bechterew disease.

Discussion:

  • Connor's work predates other similar observations, questioning the disease's eponym.
  • His broader historical and medical writings reveal 17th-century challenges, including clerical opposition and observations on Polish medicine.

Key Insights:

  • The earliest description of ankylosing spondylitis may be attributed to Bernard Connor.
  • Connor's contributions extend beyond rheumatology, encompassing historical and social commentary.

Outlook:

  • Re-evaluating historical medical records can refine our understanding of disease origins.
  • Further research into 17th-century medical practices offers insights into historical scientific progress.
