Tennis Elbow aka Lateral Epicondylitis

 

In 1882, British surgeon Henry Morris used the term “Lawn Tennis Arm”, linking the condition to tennis players.

In 1873, Walter Clopton Wingfield patented a game called Sphairistikè, played on grass.

In 1877, the first Wimbledon Championships was held — the oldest tennis tournament in the world.

Lacosamide

 

Lacosamide was first discovered in 1996 at the University of Houston.

The work was led by Dr. Harold Kohn, Ph.D., a medicinal chemistry researcher at the University of Houston 

 

 

Researchers there hypothesized that modified amino acids might have therapeutic potential for epilepsy and synthesized hundreds of such compounds. 

One of these — originally labeled with codes like ADD 234037/MSP-927 — showed strong anticonvulsant activity in animal models. This compound later became known as lacosamide

Copper T

 

    Chile is the world’s largest producer of copper, and copper is the backbone of its economy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Jaime Zipper was a Chilean physician and medical researcher best known for discovering the contraceptive/spermicidal properties of copper.

 

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he found that copper released from an IUD causes a contraceptive effect largely by impairing sperm function in the uterus (reducing motility and viability).

 

 

                                  Proved the biological contraceptive effect of copper.

Phenylalanine To Phenylketonuria

 

Discovered By  Asbjørn Følling  aka  Følling's disease

 

In 1934 at Oslo University Hospital, Følling saw a young woman named Borgny Egeland. She had two children, Liv and Dag, who had been normal at birth but subsequently developed intellectual disability. When Dag was about a year old, the mother noticed a strong smell in his urine. Følling obtained urine samples from the children and, after many tests, found that the substance causing the odor in the urine was phenylpyruvic acid. The children, he concluded, had excess phenylpyruvic acid in the urine, the condition which came to be called Phenylketonuria 

 

  He identified elevated phenylpyruvic acid in the urine of children with intellectual disability
