Product Description
There are many scientists and researchers who have becomeworld famous for their inventions and discoveries. However, the workof some scientific and medical pioneers offered only brief benefitsbefore being overshadowed by better, or more long-lastingdiscoveries. Despite their lack of fame, these men and women madevital contributions to the 20th century. Their work paved the way forlater innovations while saving thousands of lives in the process. Thisis the story of one of those early pioneers. He discovered a drug thatpreceded penicillin for fighting deadly bateria.

Finding a solution to the bacteria riddle was a difficult task for early 20th century scientists. How do you eliminate bad bacteria without harming the patient? While dozens of men tried to find the solution, one man had the clearest answer at the time. Suprisingly, the answer didn't come from the world of medicine; it came from industry. A red dye called Prontosil used to stain leather became a primary ingredient for sulfa.

The man who discovered Prontosil's anti-bacterial properties usedsulfa to save the lives of England's Prime Minister and the son of aU.S. President. He even used the drug to save the life of his owndaughter. During the peak use of sulfa, the drug saved the lives ofboth soldiers and civilians. Despite his accomplishments, the man'scontribution to modern medicine has been largely forgotten. His nameis Gerhard Domagk and this is his story. ... Read more

Extrait : Shen Kuo (chinois : , pinyin : ), Shen K'uo, Shen Kua ou encore Shen Gua (Hangzhou, 1031 - Zhenjiang, 1095) est un scientifique polymathe chinois et un fonctionnaire gouvernemental sous la dynastie Song (960-1279). Homme d'esprit universel, il fut notamment géologue, astronome, mathématicien, cartographe, inventeur, météorologue, agronome, ethnographe, zoologiste, botaniste, ingénieur en hydraulique, pharmacologue, auteur encyclopédiste, poète, musicien, diplomate, général, chancelier académique, ministre des finances et inspecteur des services de l'État. Il fut également responsable du Bureau de l'Astronomie à la cour des Song, ainsi qu'adjoint du ministre de l'Hospitalité impériale. À la cour, son allégeance politique allait à la faction réformiste du « Groupe de nouvelles politiques », dirigée par le chancelier Wang Anshi ( ; 1021-1086). Dans son livre Mengxi Bitan () de 1088, Shen est le premier à décrire le compas à aiguille magnétique qui sera utilisé pour la navigation alors qu'en Europe, cette découverte ne sera décrite pour la première fois qu'en 1187 par Alexandre Neckam. Shen a aussi découvert le concept du « vrai Nord » en termes de déclinaison magnétique vers le pôle Nord, c'est-à-dire en découvrant qu'il existe une différence entre le pôle Nord géographique et le pôle Nord magnétique. Ce fut un pas décisif dans l'Histoire pour faire du compas un outil de navigation encore plus utile, alors que cette notion resta encore inconnue en Europe les qu...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Chapters: People From Świebodzin, Martin Agricola, Gerhard Domagk, Walter Warzecha, Werner Kolhörster, Piotr Rysiukiewicz, Karolina Tymińska, Zdzisław Hoffmann. Excerpt: Gerhard Johannes Paul Domagk (30 October 1895 24 April 1964) was a German pathologist and bacteriologist credited with the discovery of Sulfonamidochrysoidine (KI-730) the first commercially available antibiotic (marketed under the brand name Prontosil) for which he received the 1939 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Domagk was born in Lagow, Brandenburg, the son of a school headmaster. Until he was 14, he attended school in Sommerfeld (now Lubsko, Poland). Domagk studied medicine at the University of Kiel, but volunteered to serve as a soldier in World War I, where he was wounded in December 1914, working the rest of the war as medic. After the war, he finished his studies, and worked at the University of Greifswald, where he researched infections caused by bacteria. In 1925, he followed his professor Walter Gross to the University of Münster (WWU) and became professor there himself. He also started working at the Bayer laboratories at Wuppertal. The same year, he married Gertrud Strübe. Later they would have three sons and a daughter. He was appointed the director of Bayer's Institute of Pathology and Bacteriology, where he continued the studies of Josef Klarer and Fritz Mietzsch, based on works by Paul Ehrlich, to use dyes, at that time a major product of IG Farben, as antibiotics. He found the sulfonamide Prontosil to be effective against streptococcus, and treated his own daughter with it, saving her the amputation of an arm. In 1939, Domagk received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this discovery, the first drug effective against bacterial infections. He was forced by the Na... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=474958 ...

Louis Pasteur en 1845Dessin de Charles Lebayle.Louis Pasteur est né le 27 décembre 1822 à Dole. Son père, après avoir été sergent dans l'armée napoléonienne, reprit la profession familiale de tanneur. En 1825 la famille quitte Dole pour Marnoz, pour enfin s'installer à Arbois en 1830. Le jeune Pasteur suit à Arbois les cours d'enseignement mutuel puis entre au collège de la ville. C'est à cette époque qu'il se fait connaître pour ses talents de peintre ; il a d'ailleurs fait de nombreux portraits de membres de sa famille et des habitants de la petite ville. En octobre 1838, il quitte Arbois pour l'Institution Barbet à Paris afin de se préparer au baccalauréat puis aux concours. Cependant, déprimé par cette nouvelle vie, il abandonne cette idée, quitte Paris et termine son année scolaire 1838-1839 au Collège d'Arbois. À la rentrée 1839, il poursuit ses études au collège royal de Franche-Comté, à Besançon. En 1840, il obtient le baccalauréat en lettres puis, en 1842, après un échec, le baccalauréat en sciences mathématiques.

5-0 out of 5 stars Wonder Drug, Wonder Book!
"The Demon Under the Microscope: From Battlefield Hospitals to Nazi Labs, One Doctor's Heroic Search for the World's First Miracle Drug", by Thomas Hager was a very enjoyable read.It is the story of the development of Sulfa drugs between World Wars I and II, and all the events over several centuries that led up to it.It includes stories of the development of the microscope, the identification of bacteria, tracing bacteria to specific diseases, cultivating bacteria in petri dishes, and the mad search to find methods of defeating bacterial infections.It is an amazing tale!It reminded me that disease and infection often has the power to change the course of history as much as any war.While penicillin came along a few years after sulfa drugs, it was the search for sulfa, and everything that came along with that search in terms of scientific discovery, that led to these wonder drugs.It came just in time for World War II when millions of people were saved due to these drugs.If you are looking for a very engaging and captivating read, I highly recommend this one!

4-0 out of 5 stars Out of the valley of death (3.5 stars)
It's sometimes surprising, when you look back into history, how often people died from disease.Even during wars, more were usually killed by illness and infection than in battle.I've looked into my own family history and it's not uncommon to find ancestors who died young by today's standards, or whose families could have been much larger if not for the children who died soon after birth (and mothers as well) or while still young.Today, we take it for granted that medicines and doctors can cure ailments that 60 or 70 years ago would have struck deathly fear in the hearts of those who lived and died with them.

During World War I many died from relatively minor wounds because of bacterial infections - primarily strep (the same that causes strep throat), staph, and gas gangrene.It wasn't until the early 1930s, however, that German researchers like Josef Klarer, Fritz Meitzsch, and Gerhard Domagk (who was awarded the Nobel Prize), and Frenchman Ernest Fourneau discovered and refined the amazing healing properties of a relatively common chemical: sulfonamide - frequently known as sulpha (I remember hearing it mentioned regularly on the television series M*A*S*H).Sulpha's reign as miracle drug didn't last long - penicillin replaced it by the mid to late 1940s - but it was a revolutionary drug that ushered in the age of antibiotics.

I enjoy medical histories that illuminate what life was like for ordinary people, not just the extraordinary leaders and events that stand out.I've read several medical histories that have been as riveting as a good war history and looked forward to this one.And I think I may have enjoyed it more had I read the book instead of listening to the audio book.Not that the narrator doesn't do an excellent job, but the material was harder (for me) to absorb through listening.Medical histories run a risk of being dry and technical, and Thomas Hager does a very good job of telling the bigger picture and fleshing out the important characters and events in the history of sulpha, but I think reading the book would have been easier to follow and more enjoyable.Still, a good read for those like me who enjoy such books.

4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Very well written, this book is set in the pharmaceutical industry of the 1930s. Hager does an excellent job describing how the changing political environment and the Nazi party impacted research. I found it slightly disturbing to see how slowly miraculous cures come to market as corporations focus on profitability and the medical profession is reluctant to change. Not only was the story an engaging account of the discovery of sulfa anti-biotic, as someone with absolutely no background in organic chemistry or pharmacology I have a new appreciation for how complex this industry must be today.

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the best popular science books I've read
This is a truly eye opening book.On the surface it describes the history of the
discovery of a synthetic antibiotic that is of limited use in modern medicine.But it
really is far more than that - it tells an important part of the story of how
the pharma and medicine that we know today came to be.Hager does not overreach -
he has a compelling story, and he tells it exceedingly well.But he also does a superb
job of putting it in both its historical and scientific context.

Nonlinear storytelling has become pretty common in modern science writing,
and it is can be pretty annoying - writers seem to selectively choose fractions
of episodes from the history that seem to support their (frequently very narrow)
thesis.In this book, Hager uses the same technique in a far more effective and
informative way.The interludes are themselves brief, but masterfully told,
histories of great discoveries in science and medicine.

5-0 out of 5 stars fabulous contribution to medical/scientific history
This outstanding book (which is masterfully narrated in this audio production) reads like a first-class thriller. It is also an intellectually satisfying feast, a virtual treasure-trove of interesting and important historical and medical information. Starting in the WWI era, the author backfills important scientific history to give the reader the necessary information to appreciate the story at hand.Those who liked Richard Preston's Hot Zone, should love this one as well, athough this one is much more serious.
