Politzer Adam Politzer, Adam Foto: © Medizinische Universität Wien, Bildarchiv Abstract: Adam Politzer wurde am 1. Oktober 1835 in Albertirsa (Ungarn) geboren. Das Studium der Medizin absolvierte er ab 1854 an der Universität Pest (Budapest) und an der Wiener Universität, dort promovierte er 1859 zum Doktor. Er studierte in Wien unter Karl von Rokitansky, Josef von Skoda, Johann von Oppolzer und Carl Ludwig. Bei Joseph Toynbee in London studierte er Ohrenheilkunde und bei Anton Friedrich Freiherr von Tröltsch in Würzburg erlernte er 1861 die Technik des makro- und mikroskopischen Arbeitens am Gehörorgan. Seine Habilitation als Privatdozent im Fach Ohrenheilkunde erfolgte 1861. 1863 veröffentlichte er das Verfahren der Lufteinblasung ins Mittelohr zur Behandlung der Schwerhörigkeit, das als Politzer-Verfahren bekannt wurde. 1864 wurde das „Archiv für Ohrenheilkunde“, die erste otologische Fachzeitschrift, von Tröltsch, Hermann Schwartze und Politzer gegründet. Mit Politzer begann in Österreich die wissenschaftliche Ohrenheilkunde. 1871 wurde er zum außerordentlichen Professor ernannt. 1873 wurde ihm zusammen mit Josef Gruber die Leitung der Universitäts-Ohrenklinik im Wien übertragen. 1894 wurde er zum ordentlichen Professor ernannt. Er starb am 10. September 1920 in Wien.

It was the victory of liberalism and the constitutional state, a victory which had immediate and phenomenal demographic and social consequences. In 1857, Vienna had a total population of 287,824, of which 6,217 (2.16 per cent) were Jews.

Il eut une carrière exceptionnelle tant par son parcours professionnel, que par les travaux qu’il mena sur la chirurgie de la surdité. Fait extraordinaire, il réalisa la majeure partie de ses travaux dans le cadre d’une clientèle privée d’O.R.L. installé en ville à Nantes alors qu’il était en même temps professeur de chirurgie générale à l’école de médecine. Il fit ainsi des découvertes qui constituent une des bases de la spécialité actuelle. Il fut aussi l’un des premiers en France à intervenir sur l’hypophyse. Ses innovations furent mal comprises par ses confrères français. Cet accueil changea lorsqu’au lendemain de la guerre ils réalisèrent que les confrères américains les avaient adoptées. Cet homme d’exception reste peu connu en France, alors qu’il eut une réputation internationale, fit partie de l’Académie de Médecine et fut fortement pressenti pour obtenir le Prix Nobel.

  • História E Evolução Da Otoscopia Catarina Lopes Silva
    Clínica Universitária de Otorrinolaringologia História e Evolução da Otoscopia Catarina Lopes Silva Abril’2018 1 Clínica Universitária de Otorrinolaringologia História e Evolução da Otoscopia Catarina Lopes Silva Orientado por: Dr. Marco António Alveirinho Cabrita Simão Abril’2018 2 Resumo Dada a inespecificidade e baixa frequência dos sintomas associados à patologia do ouvido, a sua avaliação é importante para o estabelecimento das respetivas abordagens terapêuticas. A membrana timpânica (MT) constitui a única janela que nos dá acesso ao ouvido médio (OM) e, como tal, a sua aparência e comportamento fornecem-nos informações importantes acerca de eventuais alterações patológicas. A otoscopia é uma técnica fundamental que permite o acesso rápido e direto ao canal auditivo externo (CAE) e à MT, com um papel importante no diagnóstico de patologias do OM. As técnicas de observação do CAE e da MT sofreram uma extensa evolução ao longo de vários séculos. No Passado, a avaliação da MT, localizada no fundo de um canal escuro e estreito (CAE), era limitada não só pela escassez de luz como também pela reduzida acessibilidade imposta pela anatomia do canal que, por não ser retilíneo (orientação ântero-inferior) comprometia a sua observação. Os progressos na área da iluminação foram notórios com o desenvolvimento de sistemas de iluminação artificial, passando-se da utilização dos raios solares até à luz fria transportada por cabos de fibras óticas. Os espéculos auriculares, ao distenderem e horizontalizarem o CAE, contornaram o obstáculo imposto pela sua anatomia, facilitando o acesso à MT. Várias outras técnicas de observação surgiram ao longo de vários anos como a otomicroscopia e a otoendoscopia.

  • Hereditary Hearing Loss
    Hereditary Hearing Loss Ivan Keogh I would like to discuss something that you will find interesting and stimulating about a topic that sometimes people shy away from, particularly ENT surgeons. I’m going to introduce you to hereditary hearing loss (HHL), but looking at it from the context of the history of DNA, looking at the DNA timeline, have a look at the human genome project and at the future of genetics. Human beings as we know are complex organisms with feelings and emotions, but ultimately when we look at us under the microscope you can break us down into a four letter code. You may not believe it, but up to 36% of our DNA is shared with the humble fruit fly. 84% of our DNA we share with the Zebrafish. You may not realize that 98% of our DNA is in common with our closest ancestor, the chimpanzee. Humans haven’t been around very much in the history of the earth. We only account for 0.13% of the earth’s history. Although you would think that we were around for a very long time when you look at the impact we have had on the earth over the last millennium. When things go wrong with genetics, they vary from very simple, very minor, sometimes silly things, but many people when thinking about genetics worry about things going really wrong, they worry about Orwellian-type scenarios. So where does that leave us in the world of genetics and particularly in the world of hearing loss? Well, I am going to take you on a little journey that starts back in 1815 in Ireland.

  • A Text-Book of Diseases of the Ear and Adjacent Organs
    REVIEWS. A Text-book of Diseases of the Ear and Adjacent Organs. By Dr. Adam POLITZER, Imperial-Royal Professor of Aural Therapeutics in the University of Vienna; Chief of the Imperial-Royal University Clinic for Diseases of the Ear in the General Hospital, Vienna. Translated into English from the third and revised German edition, by Oscar Dodd, M.D., Clinical Instructor in Diseases of the Eye and Ear, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Chicago. Edited by Sir William Dalby, F.R.C.S., M.B., Consulting Aural Surgeon to St. George’s Hospital, London. Octavo, pp. 748. Lea Brothers & Co., 1894. It is more than ten years since the former English translation of Pro¬ fessor Politzer’s text-book; and while that work comprised some of the improvements of the following German edition, its excellences have been far surpassed by the new presentation of the teachings of the Vienna master. He must always impress his students with the broad catho¬ licity of his views and his combination of unceasing aggressive advance with sane conservatism of judgment. So it is to be expected that this work, largely re-written, should be a safe and elaborate guide into every part of otology. The scheme of the work has been recast, with transposition of some chapters and sections into more systematic sequence; and the use of smaller type for the legs important sections gives considerable economy of space and renders less conspicuous the large additions made. The series of illustrations, previously rich and notable, has been increased by seventy-five, with substitution of new and better for not a few of those before acceptable.

  • Altered Sensations Archimedes NEW STUDIES in the HISTORY of SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY
    Altered Sensations Archimedes NEW STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY VOLUME 24 EDITOR Jed Z. Buchwald, Dreyfuss Professor of History, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA. ASSOCIATE EDITORS Jeremy Gray, The Faculty of Mathematics and Computing, The Open University, Buckinghamshire, UK. Sharon Kingsland, Department of History of Science and Technology, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA. ADVISORY BOARD Henk Bos, University of Utrecht Mordechai Feingold, California Institute of Technology Allan D. Franklin, University of Colorado at Boulder Kostas Gavroglu, National Technical University of Athens Anthony Grafton, Princeton University Trevor Levere, University of Toronto Jesper Lützen, Copenhagen University William Newman, Indian University, Bloomington Lawrence Principe, The Johns Hopkins University Jürgen Renn, Max-Planck-Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte Alex Roland, Duke University Alan Shapiro, University of Minnesota Nancy Siraisi, Hunter College of the City University of New York Noel Swerdlow, University of Chicago Archimedes has three fundamental goals; to further the integration of the histories of science and technology with one another: to investigate the technical, social and practical histories of specific developments in science and technology; and finally, where possible and desirable, to bring the histories of science and technology into closer contact with the philosophy of science. To these ends, each volume will have its own theme and title and will be planned by one or more members of the Advisory Board in consultation with the editor. Although the volumes have specific themes, the series itself will not be limited to one or even to a few particular areas. Its subjects include any of the sciences, ranging from biology through physics, all aspects of technology, broadly construed, as well as historically-engaged philosophy of science or technology.
