  • Pioneers of Medicine and Their Impact on Tuberculosis (review)

    K Codell CarterARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2002

    This is an interesting and engaging work with a clever structure. There are three parts to the book. In the first Thomas Daniel provides historical background and discusses the pathogenesis, possible origins, and epidemic spread of tuberculosis. In the second part, which is the bulk of the work, he discusses the six "pioneers" referred to in the title. These researchers represent different approaches to tuberculosis and, to some extent, different…

  • Early Conjectures That Down Syndrome Is Caused by Chromosomal Nondisjunction

    K Codell CarterARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2002

    In 1959, cytologic studies demonstrated that Down syndrome was associated with a nondisjunction now known as trisomy 21. Twenty years earlier (1932-39), at least three writers conjectured, independently of one another, that Down syndrome might be a form of nondisjunction: Petrus J. Waardenburg (1932), Adrien Bleyer (1934), and G. Fanconi (1938). In separate papers, Raymond Turpin (1937), Walter E. Southwick (1939), and Lionel S. Penrose (1939) al…

  • Edwin Klebs's Grundversuche

    K Codell CarterARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2001

    In 1876, discussions of the role of microorganisms in disease causation focused on anthrax and wound infections, and even in respect to these diseases there was controversy. In a series of papers on the pathologicality of bacteria, Edwin Klebs identified four " Grundversuche " (fundamental tests) that provided a basis for his own research strategy. The Grundversuche can be read as the following hypotheses: first, all bacteria are pathological; se…

  • Causes of disease and causes of death

    Open AccessK Codell CarterARTICLEContinuity and Change1997Cited by: 1

    In early-nineteenth-century medical literature, one finds an elegant symmetry between causes of disease and causes of death: both were sufficient causes of particular events. However, as I will argue, by the end of the century physicians no longer sought sufficient causes of individual disease episodes – instead almost all of medical research was organized around the quest for necessary causes that were shared by all the episodes of each particul…

  • Koch's postulates in relation to the work of Jacob Henle and Edwin Klebs

    Open AccessK Codell CarterARTICLEMedical History1985

    Among the essential elements of a theory of disease is the set of criteria that must be satisfied to establish that some specific factor is the cause of a particular disease. For example, in the germ theory various nonequivalent criteria have been proposed for establishing that specific micro-organisms cause particular diseases.' Perhaps the most famous criteria are the conditions known as Koch's postulates.
