... that although Czech psychiatrist and neuropathologist Oskar Fischer made significant contributions to the description of Alzheimer's disease, his works largely remained unknown until 2008?

Comment: ALT 1 ... that although Czech psychiatrist and neuropathologist Oskar Fischer made significant contributions to the description of Alzheimer's disease as much as Alois Alzheimer did, his works largely remained unknown until 2008 due to the academic rivalry between their schools?

Sourcing and length for both article and hook have been satisfied. My only observations are that the hook doesn't make clear that Fischer's research was done several decades ago or that he died in a concentration camp and that anti-Semitism is thought to have played a role in the fact that his findings were not more widely known. An alternate hook might be a consideration to add some of these elements that are a bit more hooky. Alansohn (talk) 21:55, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Note: ALT 1 has been struck, as it is over 260 characters, far above the 200 character maximum. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:24, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
