Nitrogen was discovered by Daniel Rutherford who was a student who needed a dissertation in order to finish his medical degree. However, all references I can find say he did this in 1772. \n\nBromine was prepared by Carl Löwig in about 1825 before starting his freshman year at Heidelberg. With winter exams and holidays, he was delayed in studying it further as his professor had requested, and another chemist Antoine-Jérôme Balard, published a paper describing the new element.  Balard was given the credit for discovering the new element.

1934 - at least in the USA.\n\nAccording to a Stanford University web page:\n"In 1934 Carl produced what was believed to be the very first multivitamin/multimineral dietary supplement introduced into the world marketplace."

Don't look at what's going on. Unfortunately tetanus shots are administered through the muscle so there is going to be some discomfort. Just remember to breathe slowly. Think about your favorite things and even sing a song out loud. Don't be worried about the doctors or nurses thinking you're crazy because I'm sure they have seen and heard it all.\nGood luck and you'll do just fine.

It is not caused directly by any bacteria.\n\nThe bacteria you are looking for was listed above. Clostridium tetani. However, this bacteria alone does not do the damage. As it grows or is attacked by the immune system it releases a powerful endotoxin. The potent toxin which is produced when the tetanus bacteria multiply is the cause of the harm in this disease. \nThe tetanus toxin affects the site of interaction between the nerve and the muscle that it stimulates. This region is called the neuromuscular junction. The tetanus toxin heightens the chemical signal from the nerve to the muscle which causes the muscles to continuously tighten up in a huge continuous ("tetanic" or "tonic") contraction or spasm. The result is either localized or generalized muscle spasms. Tetanus toxin can affect neonates to cause muscle spasms, inability to nurse, and seizures. This typically occurs within the first 2 weeks of birth and is associated with poor sanitation methods in caring for the umbilical cord stump of the neonate.\n\n\nIn about 7 days without treatment the patient will be in incredible pain and may die.\n\nThe tetanus neurotoxin causes the muscles to tighten up into a continuous ("tetanic" or "tonic") contraction or spasm. The jaw is "locked" by muscle spasms, giving the name "lockjaw" (also called "trismus"). Muscles throughout the body are affected, including the vital muscles necessary for normal breathing. When the breathing muscles lose their power, breathing becomes difficult or impossible and death can occur without life-support measures. Even with breathing support, infections of the airways within the lungs can lead to death.

It was Thales of Miletus, 635 BC - 543 BC who first described it. Ben Franklin missed this discover by over 2000 years.

Watson and Crick discovered it while researching "genetic material." For further information, check this site.

As you probably already know... Tetanus is:\n\nTetanus [TET-nus] is a condition that affects the nervous system and causes painful, uncontrolled muscle spasms. \nPeople get tetanus when spores of the tetanus bacteria enter the body through an open wound and produce a powerful nerve poison. Tetanus spores are found throughout the environment, usually in soil, dust, and animal waste. \nTetanus is preventable through immunization. Because of widespread use of tetanus vaccine, the condition is now rare. I know that most doctors almost INSIST that senior citizens keep up to date on their tetanus shots.\n\nNOw...The first signs of tetanus infection are usually a headache and spasms or cramping of the jaw muscles (lockjaw). As the poison spreads, it progressively attacks more groups of muscles, causing spasms in the neck, arms, legs, and stomach, and sometimes violent convulsions (seizures... remember that the key word here is SPASMS

A necessary prerequisite to the construction of the periodic table was the discovery of the individual elements. Although elements such as gold, silver, tin, copper, lead and mercury have been known since antiquity, the first scientific discovery of an element occurred in 1649 when Hennig Brand discovered phosphorous. During the next 200 years, a vast body of knowledge concerning the properties of elements and their compounds was acquired by chemists (view a 1790 article on the elements). By 1869, a total of 63 elements had been discovered. As the number of known elements grew, scientists began to recognize patterns in properties and began to develop classification schemes.

I suggest you get a tetanus shot as soon as possible - 24 hours from the time you were injured. I had a puncture wound in my feet  weeks ago, from a nail I stepped on.  I immediately went to the nearest hospital in our place to get vaccinated.  It costs around P1,500.00 here in the Philippines and it will be effective for five years.  As always. prevention is better than cure.  You never know whether a thing can cause tetanus infection or not; but it is medical procedure for people with wounds to get the shot as soon as possible.

Diagnosis of tetanus is based on the history and physical findings that are characteristic of the disease. Diagnostic studies generally are of little value, as cultures of the wound site are negative for C. tetani two-thirds of the time. When the culture is positive, it confirms the diagnosis of tetanus\n\nTests that may be performed include the following:\n\n    * Culture of the wound site (may be negative even if tetanus is present)\n    * Tetanus antibody test\n\nOther tests may be used to rule out meningitis, rabies, strychnine poisoning, or other diseases with similar symptoms.

Alexander Fleming in 1928 invented Pencillin.  It was a chance discovery.  He was doing some experimenting with Staphylococcus bacteria. He accidently left his culture plate smeared with the bacteria over the weekend. when he came back he found the plate contaminated.  When he looked closely he noticed that the bacteria was destroyed where the plate was infected.  Later he found out the mold(which infected the plate) to be Pencillium Notatum.

In 1881 the Cuban physician Carlos Finlay advanced the hypothesis that yellow fever is transmitted by mosquito bites.  Finlay's theory was verified in 1901 by the work of several investigators, notably the American bacteriologist, Walter Reed, who also proved the agent to be a virus.  Max Theiler, a South African virologist, developed a preventative vacine against yellow fever.

It was actually discovered in 1793, by LAZZARO SPALLANZANI, in reference to bats using echolocation, though PYTHAGORAS observed the relationship between sound pitch and frequency, he invented the SONOMETER, an instrument used to study musical sound.\n\nIn 1947 KARL DUSSIK was the first physician to utilize ultrasound for diagnostic purpose\n\nI have an entire slide show.

Selenium (Greek σελήνη selene meaning "Moon") was discovered in 1817 by Jöns Jakob Berzelius who found the element associated with tellurium\nYou can read more about Selenium at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenium

1985.\n\nThis disease is IDIOPATHIC. no cause for onset.

Discovered by: Sir Humphrey Davy, Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac, L.J. Th&„nard \n\nDiscovered at: England, France \n\nBoron compounds have been known for thousands of years, but the element was not isolated until 1808 by Sir Humphry Davy, Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac (1778-1850) and Louis Jaques Thénard (1777-1857). This was accomplished through the reaction of boric acid (H3BO3) with potassium.
