Marfan syndrome was first described at the end of the 19th century, by Dr. Antoine Marfan in Paris. Since that time our understanding of the causes of this disorder has advanced considerably, yet detection and diagnosis still relies on the presence of a family history, a physical examination, and a few non-invasive laboratory tests. Despite the genetic underpinnings of this disorder, the development of a useful diagnostic genetic test remains lacking. Undiagnosed patients therefore run the risk of dying at an early age for lack of proper medical care. However, with treatment persons with Marfan syndrome can often live a long and fruitful life.

Equiano / Prince – Slave Stories Introduction The story of Olaudah Equiano began in Nigeria in 1745, when he was born; by the age of 11 Equiano was a victim of kidnapping and was sold to slave traders. His fate was not to be nearly as harsh as millions of other African natives that were seized and put into bondage, as his own writing reveals. But he was a slave and suffered the indignities that accompany slavery. The remarkable part of this story is the way that he tells his own story, written descriptively and in professional narrative, and what happens to him along the way. This paper references his tale, and also the paper reviews the life of a Muslim Prince who became a slave – Abdul Rahman Ibrahima (referred to in this paper as The Prince). In summary, the paper will conclude with the writing of Frederick Douglass, which offers perspective on slavery and is in contrast to the lives of Equiano and The Prince.
