Camillo Golgi as clinical pathologist: epicritical reading of Golgi's works on malaria
1Istituto di Patologia Generale Camillo Golgi, Università di Pavia, Italy.
Abstract:
Camillo Golgi confirmed, in 1885, Marchiafava's and Celli's discoveries about malaria, following a clinical-pathologic research pattern and studying the patient directly. In 1889 he associated the naturalistic-biological point of view and the clinical-pathologic one so that he made possible a differential diagnosis between tertian and quartan fever, independently from the clinical observation; he supplied useful laboratory data for clinical diagnosis and, in doing so, he created the new figure of the clinical pathologist; he distinguished three different kinds of intermittent fevers and, in 1888, he specified the useful time for quinine administration. The article analyzes, also, his methodological and scientific principles.

Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus is a eukaryotic organelle that has a distinctive ribbon-like appearance. It is a primary sorting and dispatch station for cargo arriving from the ER. Newly arriving vesicles enter the cis face of the Golgi, closest to the ER, and are...
