We have noticed a disregard for the appropriate use of the word "first" in scientific articles in the past year. While there is certainly some prestige with being the first author(s) to describe a new scientific finding or unusual clinical entity, invoking this distinction should be done only after a thorough and meticulous literature search warrants it and only when such a claim of priority has some relevance of importance.
