Theodor Kocher: un cirujano innovador
No full textEmil Theodor Kocher is considered along with Frank Lahey, Theodor
Billroth, William Halsted, Charles Mayo, George Crile and Thomas
Dunhill as one of the «Magnificent Seven», referring to the
group of surgeons who managed thyroidectomy to make it a safe and
efficient intervention that it is now practiced throughout the world.
He was author of numerous contributions towards medicine. One of his
most important contributions was to elucidate the function of the
thyroid gland, through the observation and study of thyroidectomyzed
patients, for which he was recognized by the academic and scientific
community during the early twentieth century.Theodor Emil Kocher es considerado junto con Frank Lahey, Theodor

como uno de los llamados «Siete Magníficos» en
alusión al grupo de cirujanos que lograron hacer de la
tiroidectomía la intervención eficiente y segura que en la
actualidad se practica en el mundo entero. Autor de innumerables
aportes al arte de la medicina, quizás su contribución
más importante fue haber dilucidado la función de la
glándula tiroides, por medio de la observación y del estudio
del estado de sus pacientes tiroidectomizados, hallazgo que le hizo
acreedor del reconocimiento de la comunidad académica y
científica de los comienzos del siglo XX

The COMPASS experiment at CERN
No full textAbbon P, Albrecht E, Alexakhin VY, et al. The COMPASS experiment at CERN. Nucl.Instrum.Meth. A. 2007;577(3):455-518.The COMPASS experiment makes use of the CERN SPS high-intensity muon and hadron beams for the investigation of the nucleon spin structure and the spectroscopy of hadrons. One or more outgoing particles are detected in coincidence with the incoming muon or hadron. A large polarised target inside a superconducting solenoid is used for the measurements with the muon beam. Outgoing particles are detected by a two-stage, large angle and large momentum range spectrometer. The setup is built using several types of tracking detectors, according to the expected incident rate, required space resolution and the solid angle to be covered. Particle identification is achieved using a RICH counter and both hadron and electromagnetic calorimeters. The setup has been successfully operated from 2002 onwards using a muon beam. Data with a hadron beam were also collected in 2004. This article describes the main features and performances of the spectrometer in 2004; a short summary of the 2006 upgrade is also given.
