Frederic Edward Mohs March 1, 1910 July 2, 2002 , a physician and general surgeon , developed the Mohs surgery Mohs micrographic surgery MMS technique in 1938 to remove skin cancer lesions while still a medical student at the University of Wisconsin Madison . The Mohs procedure is considered the best method for treating certain types of skin cancer , especially of the head and neck, with cure rates approaching 100 . Mohs was born in Burlington, Wisconsin . His father died when he was 3 months old, and the family moved to Madison, where his mother ran a boarding house. After initially considering a career as a radio engineer, he switched to medical studies in college. Mohs began developing his treatment in the 1930s, experimenting on rats, puppies, other animals. The breakthrough came when he discovered that applying a combination zinc chloride and bloodroot paste to malignant rat skin tissue allowed it to be removed surgically and examined under a microscope. He treated his first human patient on June 23, 1936. Mohs, who spent his working life at the University of Wisconsin, was a tireless advocate for the surgical procedure he had devised and taught it to doctors from all over the world.

The list that follows is of the all the mares that have won the honor of being named Kentucky Broodmare of the Year. Mares are selected each year by the Kentucky Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association. Mares are graded by the success of offspring just like stallions in regards to the Leading Sires list. The one big difference being that mares only produce one foal per year and are judged solely on that one foal rather than the overall success of their progeny. The main criteria is that the mare be boarded in the state of Kentucky, which makes it a restricted ballot, but generally a fair one considering the quality of the mares boarding in Kentucky. ref http www.tbheritage.com HistoricDams AmBroodmareofYear.html tbheritage.com ref div style font size 90 width 25 float left 1946 Bloodroot 1947 Potheen 1948 Our Page 1949 Easy Lass 1950 Hildene 1951 Alpenstock III 1952 Ace Card 1953 Gaga 1954 Traffic Court 1955 Iron Reward 1956 Swoon 1957 Belle Jeep 1958 Miss Disco 1959 Knight s Daughter 1960 Siama 1961 Striking 1962 Track Medal 1963 Misty Morn 1964 Maid of Flight 1965 Pocahontas 1966 Juliet s Nurse 1967 Kerala 1968 Delta 1969 All Beautiful 1970 Levee horse Levee div div style font size 90 width 25 float left 1971 Iberia 1972 Moment of Truth II 1973 Somethingroyal 1974 Cosmah 1975 Shenanigans horse Shenanigans 1976 Gazala II 1977 Sweet Tooth 1978 Primonetta 1979 Smartaire 1980 Key Bridge 1981 Natashka 1982 Best In Show 1983 Courtly Dee 1984 Hasty Queen II 1985 Dunce Cap II 1986 Too Bald 1987 Banja Luka 1988 Grecian Banner 1989 Relaxing horse Relaxing 1990 Kamar 1991 Toll Booth 1992 Weekend Surprise 1993 Glowing Tribute 1994 Fall Aspen 1995 Northern Sunset IRE div div style font size 90 width 25 float left 1996 Personal Ensign 1997 Slightly Dangerous horse Slightly Dangerous 1998 In Neon horse In Neon 1999 Anne Campbell horse Anne Campbell 2000 Primal Force horse Primal Force 2001 Turko s Turn 2002 Toussaud 2003 Prospectors Delite 2004 Dear Birdie 2005 Baby Zip 200 ... more details
