Study Notes
Key Pathologists of the 19th Century
- Beniviene Malphigi and Valsalva Morgagni recognized as Italy's leading pathologists.
- Fernel and Bichat noted as France's foremost pathologists.
- William Harvey acknowledged as England's preeminent pathologist.
- Carl Rokitansky regarded as the last great contemporary humoral pathologist from Germany.
- Johannes Mullier credited as a pioneer in modern histology and cellular pathology.
- Rudolf Virchow, the "Father of Pathology," refuted spontaneous generation and emphasized the significance of cells in pathology.
Tools of Pathology
- Glass Slide Preparations: Involves slicing tissues (2-5 µm) preserved in fixatives, stained to visualize tissue components.
- Hand Lens and Light Microscope: Tools for drawing and closely examining tissue sections; light microscope primarily utilized for basic studies.
- Histochemistry: Utilizes stains to identify chemical groups in tissues, significant in elucidating disease processes (e.g., Perl's Method for hemosiderin).
Advanced Microscopy Techniques
- Enzyme Histochemistry: Identifies specific enzymes in fresh, frozen tissues; essential for studying muscle lesions.
- Fluorescent Microscopy: Used in immunopathology for detecting immunoglobulins and complements via primary and secondary fluorescence.
- Electron Microscope (EM): Provides high-resolution imaging of cellular changes, crucial for understanding functional disturbances.
Issues in Pathology Study
- Conflicts evident in understanding tissue injury through host defense mechanisms.
- Biopsies and necropsies are primary methods for studying tissues.
Diagnosis in Pathology
- Morphologic Diagnosis: Describes major lesions observed.
- Etiological Diagnosis: Identifies causes of diseases.
- Definitive Diagnosis: Specifies the disease entity.
Structural and Functional Organization Levels
- Ranges from whole organisms to biochemical-molecular levels; example illustrated with diabetes mellitus.
Pathology Terminology
- Pathology defined as the study of anatomical, chemical, and physiological alterations in organisms; derives from Greek words for "disease" and "study."
Teratology and Developmental Disturbances
- Anomalies: Developmental disturbances transmitted via Mendelian inheritance.
- Monsters: Major developmental disturbances involving multiple organs.
- Heritable Anomalies: Include lethal defects like short-leggedness in Dexter cattle and non-lethal defects like cryptorchidism.
Hemorrhage Overview
- Defined as the escape of blood components from the vascular system, classified by mechanism (e.g., rhexis and diapedesis).
- Causes include physiological factors (parturition), mechanical injury, neoplasms, and chemical toxins.
- Classification based on source (cardiac, arterial), size (petechial, ecchymotic), and location (e.g., epistaxis, hemoptysis).
Key Types of Hemorrhage
- Petechial: Tiny hemorrhages ≤1 mm.
- Ecchymotic: Circumscribed hemorrhages a few mm in diameter.
- Hematoma: Blood collected in a mass within tissues.
