History of pathology
The history of pathology can be traced to the earliest application of the scientific method to the field of medicine, a development which occurred in the Middle East during the Islamic Golden Age and in Western Europe during the Italian Renaissance.
Early systematic human dissections were carried out by the Ancient Greek physicians Herophilus of Chalcedon and Erasistratus of Chios in the early part of the third century BC. The first physician known to have made postmortem dissections was the Arabian physician Avenzoar (1091–1161). Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902) is generally recognized to be the father of microscopic pathology. Most early pathologists were also practicing physicians or surgeons.
==Origins of pathology==
Early understanding of the origins of diseases constitutes the earliest application of the scientific method to the field of medicine, a development which occurred in the Middle East during the Islamic Golden Age〔Toby E. Huff (2003), ''The Rise of Early Modern Science: Islam, China, and the West'', p. 54, 246-247, 216-218. Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0-521-52994-8.〕 and in Western Europe during the Italian Renaissance.〔() History of Pathology, at the USC School of Dentistry〕
The Greek physician Hippocrates, the founder of scientific medicine, was the first to deal with the anatomy and the pathology of human spine.〔(Hippocrates: The Father of Spine Surgery : Spine )〕 Galen developed an interest in anatomy from his studies of Herophilus and Erasistratus.〔(Greek Medicine - Galen )〕 The concept of studying disease through the methodical dissection and examination of diseased bodies, organs, and tissues may seem obvious today, but there are few if any recorded examples of true autopsies performed prior to the second millennium. Though the pathology of contagion was understood by Muslim physicians since the time of Avicenna (980–1037) who described it in ''The Canon of Medicine'' (c. 1020),〔(Medicine And Health ), "Rise and Spread of Islam 622-1500: Science, Technology, Health", ''World Eras'', Thomson Gale.〕 the first physician known to have made postmortem dissections was the Arabian physician Avenzoar (1091–1161) who proved that the skin disease scabies was caused by a parasite, followed by Ibn al-Nafis (b. 1213) who used dissection to discover pulmonary circulation in 1242.〔(Islamic medicine ), ''Hutchinson Encyclopedia''.〕 In the 15th century, anatomic dissection was repeatedly used by the Italian physician Antonio Benivieni (1443-1502) to determine cause of death.〔 Antonio Benivieni is also credited with having introduced necropsy to the medical field. 〔Rubin's Pathology, Fifth Edition. 2008. Ed. R. Rubin and D.S. Strayer 〕 Perhaps the most famous early gross pathologist was Giovanni Morgagni (1682-1771). His magnum opus, ''De Sedibus et Causis Morborum per Anatomem Indagatis'', published in 1761, describes the findings of over 600 partial and complete autopsies, organised anatomically and methodically correlated with the symptoms exhibited by the patients prior to their demise. Although the study of normal anatomy was already well advanced at this date, ''De Sedibus'' was one of the first treatises specifically devoted to the correlation of diseased anatomy with clinical illness.〔() A History of Medicine from the Biblioteca Centrale dell'Area Biomedica〕 By the late 1800s, an exhaustive body of literature had been produced on the gross anatomical findings characteristic of known diseases. The extent of gross pathology research in this period can be epitomized by the work of the Viennese pathologist (originally from Hradec Kralove in the Czech Rep.) Carl Rokitansky (1804-1878), who is said to have performed 20,000 autopsies, and supervised an additional 60,000, in his lifetime.〔〔() Karl von Rokitansky at Whonamedit.com〕
