X-ray Crystallography

X-ray Crystallography

The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Self-Schemas

Self-Schemas

In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Background:

Primary hyperaldosteronism, also known as Conn syndrome, is a condition caused by an aldosterone-secreting adrenal adenoma.
The initial discovery and reporting of Conn syndrome are primarily attributed to Dr. Jerome Conn.
Dr. William Baum, a urologist, played a significant role in the surgical management of the first documented case.

Discussion:

This historical review examines the collaborative efforts and recognition surrounding the initial discovery of Conn syndrome.
It highlights the specific surgical and diagnostic contributions of Dr. William Baum.
The article addresses the reasons for Dr. Baum's historical omission from the narrative of Conn syndrome's discovery.

Key Insights:

Dr. William Baum's instrumental role in the first successful surgical treatment of an aldosterone-secreting adrenal adenoma.
The historical underrepresentation of Dr. Baum's contributions in the medical literature concerning Conn syndrome.
Re-evaluation of the historical account of Conn syndrome discovery to include all key figures.

Outlook:

Encouraging a more comprehensive and accurate representation of scientific discoveries in medical history.
Promoting recognition for all individuals involved in significant medical breakthroughs.
Inspiring further research into the historical contributions of often-overlooked medical professionals.
