    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.
    • Dr. William Welch became the first Pathology professor at John Hopkins University in 1885.
    • The first clinical laboratory opened at John Hopkins Hospital in 1896 by Dr. William Osler.
    • Dr. Tirso Briones established a medical technology training program in the Philippines.
    • Dr. Willa Hilgert Hedrick pioneered medical technology education in the Philippines, leading to the first complete laboratory established at Manila Sanitarium Hospital.

    Establishment of Medical Technology Education in the Philippines

    • Dr. Hedrick and her team created the curriculum for a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology at Manila Sanitarium Hospital.
    • Jesse Umali was the first graduate from the Philippine Union College and continued medical education at FEU.
    • University of Santo Thomas offered a BS in Medical Technology with pharmacy electives under Dr. Antonio Gabriel in 1957.
    • By 1961, the Bureau of Education approved a formal four-year curriculum for medical technology at Far Eastern University.

    Milestones in Medical Technology

    • 1660: Anton Van Leeuwenhoek recognized as the Father of Microbiology.
    • 1796: Edward Jenner introduced vaccination for smallpox.
    • 1857: Louis Pasteur developed a rabies vaccine.
    • 1906: Karl Landsteiner identified blood groups.
    • 1954: Jonas Salk created the poliomyelitis vaccine.
    • 1985: Kary Mullis developed the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique.
    • Modern advancements include robotic surgery, keyhole procedures, and genetic engineering based on DNA insights.
