Study Notes
History of Medical Technology on a Global Context
- Early views considered diseases mysteries arising from interactions between environment and the body.
- Hippocrates (460 BC), the ‘Father of Medicine’, linked anatomical and chemical findings to disease causes and introduced urine testing, lung examination, and observation.
- He noted that urine characteristics like bubbles or pus indicated kidney disease and chronic illnesses.
- The triad regimen for disease treatment included Drugs, Surgery, and Bloodletting.
- Between 300 BC and 180 AD, Hippocrates and Galen began qualitative assessments through body fluid measurements (the four humors).
- Vivian Herrick identified intestinal parasitic infections caused by Ascaris lumbricoides and Taenia species in 1550 BC.
- An Arabic physician proved that skin diseases were caused by parasites around 900 AD.
- The first book on urine characteristics was published in 900 AD, leading to the medical practice of urinalysis during the Medieval Period (1098-1438).
- Notable instruments discovered included the Stethoscope (Rene Laennec, 1816) and the Microscope (Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, 1840).
Scientific Breakthroughs in Medical Technology
- Significant advancements:
- Ophthalmoscope by Hermann von Helmholtz in 1850.
- Laryngoscope by Manuel Garcia in 1855.
- X-Ray by Wilhem Roentgen in 1859.
- Electrocardiograph by William Einthoven in 1903.
- Drinker Respirator by Philip Drinker in 1927.
- Cardiac catheterization by Forsmann, Moniz, and Reboul in 1929.
History of Medical Technology in the United States
- American medical education saw reforms influenced by advances in Europe.
