Study Notes
Early Blood Transfusions and Discoveries
-
1492: An unsuccessful blood transfusion attempt was made on Pope Innocent VII. Blood from three young men was given to the Pope, resulting in the death of all four.
-
1628: William Harvey, an English physician, discovered blood circulation. Soon after, the first known blood transfusion attempt occurred.
-
1665: Richard Lower performed the first recorded successful blood transfusion in England. He kept dogs alive by transfusing blood between dogs.
-
1795: Philip Syng Physick, an American physician in Philadelphia, performed the first human blood transfusion, but did not publish the details.
Further Developments in Blood Transfusion and Blood Groups
-
1869: Braxton Hicks used sodium phosphate as an anticoagulant.
-
1900: Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian physician, discovered the first three human blood groups (A, B, and C). Blood type C was later reclassified as O. He received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this discovery in 1930.
-
Circa 1900s: Reuben Ottenberg performed the first blood transfusion using blood typing and crossmatching in New York. He observed Mendelian inheritance of blood groups and recognized group O donors as universal.
-
1908: Alexis Carrel developed a method to prevent clotting in blood transfusions by directly connecting the recipient's vein to the donor's artery (anastomosis).
Additional Notes (Genetic Markers)
- The provided text lists genetic markers for blood group genes (e.g., P003, P1, RH004, RH, etc). These markers indicate the chromosomal location of various blood group genes, but the specific details beyond the chromosomal location are not provided.
