View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

Temporal lobectomy is the most common neurosurgical procedure performed for medically refractory epilepsy. Temporal lobe epilepsy has historically been one of the most difficult forms of epilepsy to treat, and it carries a significant psychosocial and medical burden. The inadequacy of medical therapy led to the development of effective neurosurgical procedures, and this article cites several seminal authors who pioneered the development of the field.

Addressing racism as a clinical competence: Robert Wilson, Jr. (1867-1946).

Addressing health inequity is now recognized as a clinical competency in medical education. We examined the career and writings of Robert Wilson Jr. (1867-1946), longtime dean of the Medical College of the State of South Carolina during the Jim Crow Era, using primary and secondary sources within the context of systemic and structural racism, particularly in South Carolina. Wilson used public health data to refute the "Black Extinction Hypothesis" rooted in social Darwinism. He challenged assumptions of inherent Black susceptibility to tuberculosis, linking disease instead to social determinants of health. He also identified disproportionate mortality from kidney and cardiovascular disease among Black populations, anticipating modern health disparities research. Wilson further acknowledged systemic injustice and implicated structural conditions, including housing, in shaping outcomes. In an era of continuing health inequity and racial health disparities, Wilson applied empirical evidence to reject biological determinism, identify outcomes disparities, and advocate for racial justice.

The 40th anniversary of bilayer lipid membrane research.

This paper presents a historic perspective on the origin of the lipid bilayer concept and its experimental realization. Additionally, current studies in close collaboration with our colleagues on the use of supported BLMs as biosensors and molecular devices are delineated. Further, recent research of others on BLMs (planar lipid bilayers) is referenced.
