- Julius Caesar's autopsy revealed 23 wounds, with only one penetrating the chest cavity, between the first and second ribs.
- In 500 AD, Indian physicians observed that certain types of urine attracted insects due to high sugar content, calling it "madhumeha" or "honey urine".
- In 900 AD, Isaac Judaeus devised guidelines for using urine as a diagnostic aid.
- In the 16th century, Girolamo Fracastoro proposed a primitive version of the "germ theory", later validated by Robert Koch and Louis Pasteur.
- Koch also discovered the tubercle bacillus as the causative agent of tuberculosis.
- In 1628, William Harvey described the circulation of blood, with Marcelo Malpighi later fortifying the concept by ascertaining the existence of capillaries.
- Malpighi is described as the "greatest" of the early microscopists and is considered the "Founder of Pathology".

Basic Legal Principles
- Ignorantia legis neminem excusat: a person cannot relieve themselves of liability by claiming ignorance of the law.
- Laws shall have no retroactive effect, unless the contrary is provided, based on the Latin maxim "Lex prospicit, non respicit" (the law looks forward, not backward).
- Rights may be waived, unless the waiver is contrary to law, public order, public policy, morals, or good customs, or prejudicial to a third person with a recognized right.
- Laws are repealed only by subsequent ones, and their violation or non-observance shall not be excused by disuse, custom, or practice to the contrary.
- The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and administrative or executive acts, orders, and regulations are valid only when not contrary to the laws or the Constitution.
- Only a law can repeal another law, and customs contrary to law, public order, or public policy shall not be countenanced.
Medical Technology Laws
- Medical Technology laws are legislative fiats with legal effects in the practice of Medical Technology in the Philippines.
