The cutting edge of spondylarthropathy research in the millennium

2002

In the last few years, with advances in technology and concept, research on the spondylarthropathies (SpA) has moved from random harvesting of piecemeal data to systematic evaluations of core puzzles. In the Second International Congress of Spondylarthropathies, held in Ghent, Belgium, on October 4–7, 2000, the most recent data were presented and these core puzzles were defined. The factors that are unique to SpA are 1) the site of inflammation is not only the synovium, but also the enthesis; 2) the essential predisposing gene is HLA– B27; 3) a number of other genes are required for development of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a prototype of SpA; and 4) certain facultative intracellular Gram…

On the Background to Hilbert’s Paris Lecture “Mathematical Problems”

2018

Much has been written about the famous lecture on “Mathematical Problems” (Hilbert 1901) that David Hilbert delivered at the Second International Congress of Mathematicians, which took place in Paris during the summer of 1900 (Alexandrov 1979; Browder 1976). Not that the event itself evoked such great interest, nor have many writers paid particularly close attention to what Hilbert had to say on that occasion. What mattered – both for the text and the larger context – came afterward. Mathematicians remember ICM II and Hilbert’s role in it for just one reason: this was the occasion when he unveiled a famous list of 23 problems, a challenge to those who wished to make names for themselves in …
