It was carrying a small package containing Scoville aneurysm clips. They were sent to the late Bjarni Hannesson (1938\u20132013), who had received his neurosurgical training in 1967\u20131971 at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (then known as Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital and located in Hanover, New Hampshire). He used one to clip the right posterior communicating artery aneurysm of a 34-year-old fisherman, who recovered well. The apparent reason for the use of such a huge aircraft for such a small payload is to be found in the sociocultural politics of the Cold War. It involved the continued presence of the American base at Keflav\u00edk, where the C-130 landed. The base was under pressure to be closed by Iceland\u2019s left-leaning, nominally communist government. The C-130\u2019s arrival generated welcome publicity for the continued operation of the American base, which is still there.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2023.5.jns23214","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,29]],"date-time":"2023-07-29T15:35:19Z","timestamp":1690644919000},"page":"463-468","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["How a Scoville aneurysm clip fought in the Cold War and helped to establish neurosurgery in Iceland"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"140","author":[{"given":"Samuel H.","family":"Greenblatt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thoroddur","family":"Bjarnason","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology, University of Iceland, Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thorbjorg","family":"Thoroddsdottir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flatask\u00f3li, Gar\u00f0ab\u00e6r, Iceland; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kristinn","family":"Gu\u00f0mundsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The National University Hospital of Iceland, Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew J.","family":"Hagan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Albert E.","family":"Telfeian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","article-title":"The population increased by 2.0% in 2021.
