.- . Gi n- 54 7 I zu! T7 I The Bettmann Archive Rudolf Vircltow, the famous German pathologist, in his studio in the Charitee in Berlin in 1892. In l937 Krumbhaar suggested that the definition of Pathology should include The study of the causes of and the effects Cboth structural and functionall produced by disease. This broad but realistic definition makes it im- perative that pathology embrace all medical disciplines and all the techniques used by them. The origins of ana- tomic pathology can be traced to the para-Mediterranean civilizations that existed as long as 2160 B.C. The scien- tific basis of pathology began and was nurtured by the early anatomists and surgeons of the Renaissance so that bythe end of the 18th Century, pathologic anatomy by forming a strong foundation for the understanding of disease, first became recognized as an independent dis- cipline. Descriptive pathologic anatomy of the 19th Cen- tury initially of lesions seen with the naked eye and later combined with their light microscopic appearances, firmly united the scientific knowledge of disease with the practice of medicine. Further advances have paral- leled improvements upon the microscope with the devel- opment of the electron microscope and of phase and fluorescence microscopy and now of their combination. Clinical pathology is thought to have its beginnings in the latter few years of the 19th Century. Its origins were fostered by inquisitive clinicians and its development has been continued by individuals representing almost every type of scientific activity. During this period, but particularly recently, the various divisions of clinical pathology, with the development of still newer tech- niques, have in turn been incorporated within the ex- panding scope of pathologic anatomy. 101
