  • The Ever Evolving Hematopathology X
    Evolving Hematopathology Hematopathology Review The Ever Evolving Hematopathology X. Frank Zhao1,* 1Department of Pathology, University of California San Diego, VA Medical Center, San Diego, CA Abstract: Following the first case series of Hodgkin lymphomas described by Thomas Hodgkin in 1832, the field of hematopathology has traversed the (gross and microscopic) morphological, immunological, and genetic eras, to arrive finally at the molecular era. With the efforts of generations of outstanding hematopathologists, each subsequent era has advanced the field further. Meanwhile, as the field has evolved, the role of pathologists has also grown and changed from a histopathology curator to a clinical diagnostician and finally to a vital member of the patient care team. This article, which marks the inaugural issue of Hematopathology, will briefly review milestones in the history and development of hematopathology since Thomas Hodgkin first pioneered the field. Keywords: Hematopathology, Classification, History Introduction Thomas McBean presented to William Macintyre with “broken bone” pain and heat soluble “animal Although Pathology is as ancient as 17th century matter” in urine [7].

Deemed the first ‘brand name’ product, the marketing of proprietary medicines in this period has been the focus of extensive research. The successful branding of medicines was achieved not only through advertising, however, but also in the physical character of pharmaceutical packaging. Proprietorial identities were constructed through this branding. Containers were covered in proprietorial and state marks, crucial in reassuring consumers of their efficacy and safety. Bottles were embossed; pots transfer‐printed; labels pasted on boxes; and seals fastened paper sachets. Labels and wrappers bearing pictorial devices and signatures encased generic containers. The packaging itself (perhaps a uniquely shaped or coloured bottle) could also form part of the brand identity, all of which helped consumers differentiate between similar products and identify ‘authentic’ medicines. In the absence of institutional regulatory presence of medical provision, consumers negotiated the minefield of healthcare products independently, and so interpreted proprietorial branding as a measure of the manufacturer or vendor’s trustworthiness.
