I noted the obituary of Louis Lasagna in the BMJ of 6th September
2003.
Years ago, when doing clinical research, I was told about "Lasagna's Law"
which stated "In clinical research the prevalence of any disease falls to
about 10% of what you thought it was the day you start to look for cases
for your study"
