Study Notes
Milestones in the Evolution of Pathology
- Pathology's roots are intertwined with other medical specialities, arising in antiquity with a focus on observable features of disease, both in life and after death.
- Archaeological discoveries, such as mummies, offer palaeopathological insights into disease in past populations.
Early Egyptian Medicine
- Important texts like the Edwin Smith Papyrus (17th century BC) and Papyrus Ebers (circa 1550 BC) contain information on various diseases.
- Evidence of bone tumors, tuberculosis, atherosclerosis, and gallstones was found on mummies from Ancient Egypt, although systematic knowledge of these wasn't developed.
Greek and Roman Contributions
- Hippocratic school greatly influenced medical thought with their humor theory of disease, chronicling wound inflammation, tumors, and other illnesses.
- Greek physicians Herophilos and Erasistratos advanced anatomical knowledge.
- Roman physician Celsus defined inflammation, a cornerstone of pathology.
- Galen, a prominent figure in the 2nd century AD, made extensive observations and writings.
Medieval and Renaissance
- Byzantine and Arab physicians kept some Greek traditions alive, but little advancement in pathology occurred during the period between Galen and the Renaissance.
- Antonio Benivieni marked a step towards pathology, meticulously documenting cases alongside anatomical findings.
The 16th and 17th Centuries
- Advancement in understanding of diseases through increasingly common autopsy practice.
- William Harvey's work revolutionised medicine and concepts of disease causation, and challenged the humor theory.
- The work of physicians such as Morgagni and the Hunters furthered the development of anatomical pathology, correlating symptoms with observable pathology.
18th and 19th Centuries
- The invention and improved use of the microscope became increasingly significant, shifting focus to microscopic pathology.
- Pathologists like Virchow made groundbreaking contributions to cellular pathology, revolutionizing the understanding of disease processes.
- The works of Müller and others laid the foundation for cellular pathology, and microscopic observations became increasingly important
Modern Pathology
- New technologies like immunohistochemistry, molecular biology, and microscopy continue to propel advancements in pathology.
- Diseases are increasingly understood from a molecular and genetic perspective.
