Outline Middle ages – in Europe

Renaissance – in Europe

Modern medicine

Time-line 1543 C.E.

The first scientific textbook on human anatomy is published by Andreas Vesalius, physician and professor of medicine at the University of Padua in Italy. Vesalius based his work on dissection of human cadavers.

1628 C.E. William Harvey shows (for the first time) that the heart

pumps blood through the arteries to all parts of the body, and that blood returns to the heart through the veins.

1600s C.E. Antony Leeuwenhoek uses a microscope and discovers

red blood cells, bacteria, and protozoa

Time-line 1796 C.E.

The smallpox vaccine is developed by Edward Jenner, initiating the science of immunology.

1800s C.E. Florence Nightingale, through her work during the

Crimean War, establishes the foundation of modern nursing.

Circa 1840 C.E. Americans Crawford Long and William Morton

independently discover that ether gas can be used as a general anesthetic, allowing doctors to perform operations never possible before.

Time-line 1865 C.E.

Joseph Lister introduces antiseptic methods to surgery during a time when close to half of all surgical patients die of postoperative infection.

1898 C.E. Pierre and Marie Curie discover radium, which

becomes a powerful weapon against cancer.

1928 C.E. Sir Alexander Fleming discovers the germ-

killing power of a mold called penicillium, later isolated as penicillin, the first antibiotic.

Time-line 1950s C.E.

Jonas Salk develops the first successful polio vaccine.

1954 C.E. American surgeons transplant a kidney, the

first successful organ transplant.

1970s C.E. The World Health Organization announces

worldwide eradication of smallpox

Middle Ages (AD 800–1400)

Disease - Leprosy, Syphilis, Plague, Typhus

Privation – Pillaging, looting and sacking followed by

famine, starvation and disease leading to repeated mortality crises of 1/3rd of population

Bubonic Plague killed 75% of the population in Europe and Asia

Response - Quarantine introduced in Venice in 1403


Influence of Arabic medicine, translations and new books

Some studied abroad (scholarships) in Andalusia

There was renewed interest in medical practices of the Greek and Romans

Colleges opened


Medical Care: Self-help

- prayer, pilgrimage, charms, herbs, magic stones, holy water

Local noblemen knowledge of disease/therapy obtained by

formal education Professional healers

physician-clerics who had studied abroad Barber-surgeons


Arab physicians used chemistry to advance pharmacology

Arabs begin requiring physicians to pass examinations and obtain licenses

Renaissance (AD 1350–1650)

Dissection of the body led to an increased understanding of anatomy and physiology

Invention of the printing press allowed medical knowledge to be shared.

First anatomy book by Andreas Vesalius, was published


Healers: Quacks and Mountebanks Apothecaries Surgeons Physicians


Quacks and Mountebanks Set up in town for a few days

hen moved on Cheap remedies available to

the masses Popular with the people Attempts by corporations of

physicians and surgeons to prohibit them failed

Magistrates were aware of their popularity


Apothecaries Evolved from grocers and spicers

to supply physicians' needs to compound prescriptions

Physicians were prevented, by their code, from dispensing medications

Apothecaries were prevented from charging for giving advice although many patients sought their opinion

Became rich as a result of physicians' bizarre prescribing practices

Renaissance (AD 1350-1650)

Surgeons Decree of Pope Innocent III in

1163 discouraged monks from performing surgery

Barbers took over surgical work of monks

Familiarity with use and care of sharp, rustprone instruments

Incorporated with surgeons as a craft

Skills acquired by apprenticeship


Surgeons Wound healing Setting of fractures Amputations, embalming, removal of teeth,

treatment of skin disease, and blood letting Training by apprenticeship Converted to college/university degree in

1800's


Physicians Most prestigious of healers Distinguished by education

abroad and large fees Because of expense of

training, came from rich families

Large towns with reasonable number of rich potential patients

Management deliberately elaborate, including complicated mostly useless prescriptions

16th, 17th, and 18th Centuries

Invention of the microscope in 1666 allowed doctors to see disease-causing organisms

Apothecaries led to development of pharmacies

17th Century Circulation 1628: Harvey

Advances in physiology

The microscope 1676 (Antonie van Leeuwenhoek)

Pathologic anatomy (1682 – 1771)

Air was vital to life (1685)

Andreas Vesalius

Prior to Vesalius learning anatomy consisted of reading the texts of ancient Greek physicians

First to use hands on dissections to teach about anatomy

Instead of digging up bodies in the dark he started to be allowed to do dissections on executed criminals

Produced fantastic diagrams based on human experimentation (Galen’s drawings were from apes)

De Humani Corporis Fabrica

(On the fabric of the human body)

Ambroise Pare Pioneered many surgical

treatments and specialized in the treatment of wounds

Used a mixture including turpentine to heal wounds (cleaned the wound)

Used ligatures of arteries to reduce blood flow and slow bleeding

Ambroise Pare Used cauterization

techniques prior to amputation

Hypothesized that phantom pain after amputation arose in the brain

Revived the practice of podalic versiori to deliver babies not coming out safely

Bezoar Stone Experiment

The Bezoar stone was reputed to be able to cure the effects of any poison

Pare’s cook was caught steeling silverware

The cook agreed to be poisoned to determine if the stone in fact worked

The cook died days later proving that the Bezoar stone had no miraculous healing properties

William Harvey Described the process of blood

being pumped around the body by the heart

Discovered how valves in the veins work

Postulated that the circulatory system was closed and that the heart re-circulated throughout the body

Clashed with Galen’s concept that blood was created in the liver and that there were two types of blood

William Harvey Theorized that there are two separate

loops of the circulatory system, one to the lungs and the other to the rest of the body

Carried out dissections showing that embryos do not possess characteristics of adults

16th, 17th, and 18th Centuries

Edward Jenner developed the first vaccination to prevent the spread of smallpox in 1796

Surgery Louis XIV: Fistula Separated from barbers 1745

Child birth: male obstetricians

Industrial revolution Urbanization: overcrowding Industrial hygiene and disease of workers

18th Century

(19th Century)Modern Medicine

1840: first clear statement of living agents of disease

1842-46: Ether as an anesthetic agent

1844: nitrous oxide: pain control

1847: Chloroform anesthetic

(19th Century)Modern Medicine

1868: Thermometry

Hypodermic syringe

1886: The ampoule

With all these advances, medical

services were not available to the average individual

History of medicine - highlights

Plague pandemic started in 1332 in India, spread through China and Russia to Constantinople and Italy

In the middle of 14th c.- whole Asia, Europe and north Africa

…wasteland, extinct cities, corps lying around, with no one to bury them


“black death" most prominent in Dalmatia (Split, Zadar, Dubrovnik)

In Dubrovnik in 1377 – first quarantine in the world – 40 days of isolation and observation prior to unloading the cargo and people

Hadith shareef:


Girolamo Fracastoro – theory about invisible germs that spread and cause diseases

Through direct contact, via objects, ability to spread far from the source

Refutes Galen’s "miasm theory” (poisonous air and fumes)

Girolamo Fracastoro "De contagione et contagiosis

morbis“ in 1543 – claims that germs multiply, are poisonous, could be destroyed by fire

Recommends regular body hygene, clean environment, water and food sanitation, disinfection


Microscope discovery

Antony van Leeuwenhoek in 1670 Analyzed blood, saliva, bones, muscles,

human eye lens, ect. Achieved magnification up to 40-160 times,

later up to 270 times


In 18th c. doctor from Slovenia Marko Anton Plenčić supports the theory about small living creatures which cause communicable diseases

He hypothesized that different creature causes different, specific disease


At the end of 18th c. British doctor Edward Jenner noticed that women who milk cows often get cow pox (much more benign than smallpox) and never get smallpox, as a consequence

Edward Jenner After 20 years of observation –

experiment on 8yrs old boy James Phipps

Jenner took the pus from the hand of a women with cow pox and applied it to the boy – after 6 weeks the boy was exposed to smallpox – didn’t get smallpox

Published a book about vaccination in 1798 (vacca=cow)


Only in 19th century bacteria have been discovered

Pollender discovered one of the largest bacteria - anthrax in the blood of dead animals


Louis Pasteur – foundations for modern theory about causes of communicable diseases discovered yeasts introduced pasteurization for wine and milk Noticed how anthrax culture loses virulence –

when applied to healthy animal it didn’t cause the disease

Created vaccine to immnunize rams against anthrax

In 1881. discovered streptococcus and staphylococcus bacteria

Louis Pasteur In 1885 L. Pasteur introduced

vaccination agains rabies

Dried spinal cord from dogs died of rabies Pasteur applied for 9yrs old boy Joseph Meistera, who was bitten by a rabid dog – the boy was saved

Countless lives were saved all over the world


During 19th c. in England – great cholera epidemic

John Snow – a doctor perticulary interested in this epidemics in 1854 creates hypothesis that cholera was transmitted via water


1882 Robert Koch discovered M. tuberculosis

1890 discovered tuberculin, first considered cure, later became diagnostic tool

Tuberculosis was a pandemic at the end of 19th c. due to poor social and economic conditions


At the end of 19th c. Koch and Pasteur formed new discipline – Microbiology


Beginning of 20th c. – discovery of viruses

1908 - Karl Landsteiner - poliomyelitis virus

1912 - Wilhelm Grueter – herpes virus


In 1907 Paul Erlich introduced chemotherapy (chemicals that selectively destroy microorganisms, without causing damage to the host)

1923 – systematic prophylactic BCG vaccine


1928 Alexander Fleming accidental finding that the presence of molds blocked coccus culture growth

Penicillium notatum - penicillin


Only from 1940s penicillin was applied during WWII against coccus bacteria, C. diphtheriae, anthrax, tetanus

Over following years – discoveries of other antibiotics, most important was streptomycin (Selman A. Waksman – coined term antibiotic)

Medical Students 140 yrs ago

No one worried about admissions entrance requirements were lower than they

are for a good high school student

Instruction was superficial and brief

The terms lasted only 16 weeks, and after the second term the M.D. was automatically given, regardless of a student’s academic performance
