from the depths of an ancient shipwreck, was of much greater value. Exactly what the device calculated and how it functioned remained elusive for many years to come. It was the research conducted by Derek de Solla Price, Avalon Professor of History Sciences at Yale University, throughout the 1950s to 1970s that finally unlocked the secrets behind the enigmatic machine (de Solla Price 1974,…
This unique situation places Wilson’s disease in a category of importance well beyond its frequency.2 Therefore, it is critically important to make the diagnosis and get the patient on treatment at the early stage of disease.
