Dimitrie D. Gerota (pronounced (:dʒeˈrota), 17 July 1867 – 3 March 1939), Romanian anatomist, physician, radiologist, urologist, and a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy from 1916. ==Biography== He was born in Craiova, the son of a priest, Dimitrie Constantin Gerota (b. 1841), and of Maria Gerota, née Surpăteanu (b. 1847). He studied at the Carol I High School in Craiova. In 1886, he entered the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Bucharest, graduating with an M.D. degree in 1892. For four years, he pursued his studies in Paris in Berlin. After returning to Bucharest, he started practicing medicine and teaching at various institutions. Starting in October 1897, he taught anatomy at the National School of Fine Arts in Bucharest. In Fall,1898, he and his student Constantin Brâncuși produced the carved muscles anatomical study entitled the ''Ecorché'', based on research done in the dissection room of the Faculty of Medicine and the Museum of Comparative Anatomy. In May 1903, the flayed study was exhibited at the Romanian Athenaeum; the Society of Students of Fine Arts petitioned Spiru Haret, the minister of Education and Culture, to acquire it. Since then, generations of Romanian art and medical students have studied anatomy from plaster casts made from the ''Ecorché''. Considered to be the first Romanian radiologist, Gerota initiated academic radiology education in that country. In 1898, he wrote the book '"The Röntgen Rays or the X-Rays". Some years later, he had to abandon radiology because of radiodermatitis of the hand, which required amputation. In 1909, he established a sanatorium, where he practiced surgery, and carried out charitable work. From 1913, he was a professor of surgical anatomy and experimental surgery at the University of Bucharest. In November 1935, he submitted the article "Monarhie cu camarilă sau republică" to the newspaper ''Universul''. The article, highly critical of King Carol II, was censored, and Gerota was arrested and sent to Malmaison prison in Bucharest. After protests by medical students, he was liberated four days later. He was arrested again in 1936, and sent to Jilava prison. Set free, he died in 1939 in Bucharest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dimitrie Gerota」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
