Twenty-five years of progress.

Twenty-Five Years of Progress in the Three-Nucleon Problem

Twenty-five years ago the International Few-Body Conference was held in Quebec City. It became very clear at that meeting that the theoretical situation concerning the He and H ground states was confused. A lack of computational power prevented converged brute-force solutions of the Faddeev or Schrödinger equations, both for bound and continuum states of the three-nucleon systems. Pushed by exp...

Twenty-five years of progress in bilirubin metabolism (1952-77).

This review deals with the development of our understanding of the chemistry of bilirubin and its glucuronide derivatives during the years 1952-1977. It examines the relation between haem metabolism and bilirubin formation and our present knowledge of hepatic transport of bilirubin. The heterogeneity of familial hyperbilirubinaemia is discussed.

Development of flexor tendon surgery: twenty-five years of progress.

Regaining satisfactory digital function after flexor tendon laceration and repair within the digit has long been one of the most difficult problems in hand surgery. Until the 1960s it was universally recommended that tendons divided in the digit (then referred to as “no man’s land”) should not be repaired. Bunnell taught that “it is better to remove the tendons entirely from the finger and graf...
