Study Notes
Medical Technology Overview
- Medical technology involves laboratory analyses for disease diagnosis, treatment, and health maintenance.
- It applies principles from natural, physical, and biological sciences in medical settings.
- The Philippine Medical Technology Act of 1969 governs practices in this field.
Historical Context
- Early beliefs attributed diseases to supernatural causes and witchcraft, leading to practices like rituals and purgation.
- Traditional medical practices included amputations, herbal medicine, and trephining.
- Hippocrates, known as the Father of Medicine, introduced the concept of humors, outlining four body fluids: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile.
- The central Hippocratic doctrine linked diseases to imbalances in these humors.
Contributions to Medical Practice
- Marcelo Malpighi is recognized as the Father of Modern Anatomic Pathology for his work in embryology and anatomy.
- Jean Baptiste van Helmont developed gravimetric urine testing.
- "Water casting" (Uroscopy) involved analyzing urine characteristics for disease diagnosis.
Microscopy
- A microscope has three main parts: head (contains eyepiece and nosepiece), arm (supports head), and base (provides stability).
- Eyepiece and eyepiece tube are critical for specimen visualization, with adjustments available in binocular models.
Clinical Laboratory Development
- Key laboratory disciplines include microbiology, hematology, clinical chemistry, clinical microscopy, immunology, and histopathology.
- Blood donation, typing, and crossmatching are essential for patient care.
Pathology Advancements
- The first pathology laboratory in America was established at Bellevue Hospital, focusing on cancer detection using the Pap test.
- Major Historical events include the formation of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) in 1922 and advancements in tumor marker research.
Philippine Medical Technology Milestones
- American and Philippine healthcare partnership during WWII led to the establishment of clinical laboratories, including Manila Public Health Laboratory in 1944.
- Dr. Alfredo Pio Roda and Dr. Mariano Icasiano played significant roles in the development of medical technology education post-war, culminating in the first Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology program in 1954.
