Resumen |
Fritz Jacob Heinrich Lewy described the pathology of
Paralysis agitans [Parkinson disease] and was the first to identify
eosinophilic inclusion bodies in neurons of certain brain nuclei, later known
as Lewy bodies, the pathological, signature of the Lewy body diseases. In 1912,
he published his seminal study, followed soon after by an update paper, and 10
years later, in 1923, by his voluminous book, where he exhaustively described
the subject. The publication. provided extensive information on the pathology
of Paralysis agitans, and the entirely novel finding of eosinophilic, inclusion
bodies, which would become widely recognized and debated in the future. His
discovery was acknowledged, by important researchers who even named the
structure after him. However, after his last publication on the
issue,,inexplicably, he never mentioned his histopathological discovery again.
Despite several hypotheses, the reasons that led,him to neglect (reject) the
structure which he so preeminently described have remained elusive. |
Objetivo |
Recognize a
researcher who found an association and gave a final diagnosis to
Parkinson's, because although the disease was already known but it was called
(trembling palsy). |
Conceptos principales |
He was the first to
recognize Parkinson's disease and associate it with Lewy bodies. He carried out a
study where he revealed everything that Lewy bodies imply and how they are
associated with Parkinson's. |
Metodología |
Mixed (Descriptive
Study) |
Instrumentos |
Databases of people
who were previously interested in investigating Lewy bodies and their
relationship to Parkinson's. |
Resultados |
The investigation
leads to the writing of two books in relation to the pathology of paralysis
trembling, but the author did not talk about it again, although it was a
great discovery for the investigation. |
Conclusiones |
Lewy described the
pathology of Paralysis agitans, identifying a novel structure - eosinophilic
inclusion bodies in neurons of some brain nuclei. After his 1912 seminal
paper, and another that followed shortly after, he prepared and published, 10
years later, a massive book on the subject. After this, he never returned to
the theme, nor mentioned his original finding. Despite several hypotheses,
the reasons that led him to neglect (reject) the structure he so preeminently
described, appear set to remain unsolved. |
