This condition was first reported by a US (wisconsin) doctor sometime in the 1990s and it got characterized as a new sort of repetitive strain injury.

Pics of one such case here:

A successor to this condition was again reported recently (June 7 2007 paper in the New England Journal of Medicine).

What are the two conditions?

@Rahulk: A current question “closes” when a new question is posted. We try to post the new question by about 10AM IST every morning. However, accounting for timezones, meetings, traffic, crazy net connections and random outbursts of a social life, it does occasionally get delayed by an hour or two. So to be safe you can probably answer in the evenings/nights (if you’re in India)

Scientist X (pic) accidentally created alloy Y (object in pic). He was never able to re-create it, but in the process of trying to do so he created an alloy Z that was even more awesome.

Solve for X, Y and Z
