Jonas Friedenwald, Eugene Wolff, and the Two Books That Helped Bridge the Specialty Gap
1Department of Ophthalmology, Pathology and Cell Biology, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, USA.
Background:
Eugene Wolff (1896-1954) and Jonas S. Friedenwald (1897-1955) were life-long students and educators of anatomic pathology and ophthalmology. Both contributed toward narrowing the gap between the two rapidly diverging specialties of pathology and ophthalmology. Friedenwald in 1929 and Wolff in 1934 each published textbooks of ophthalmic pathology that influenced medical education for decades to come.
Summary:
Friedenwald's The Pathology of the Eye and Wolff's A Pathology of the Eye introduced ophthalmologists in training and practice to anatomic pathology, while familiarizing pathologists with the nature of ocular disease. Both books appeared at the time when anatomic pathology was departing from its mostly academic roles in education and research to assume more active participation in clinical care by establishing diagnoses through biopsy.
Key Messages:
Wolff and Friedenwald dedicated their careers to teaching the art and science of anatomic pathology to clinical ophthalmologists. Their efforts helped anchor ophthalmology to the traditions of mainstream medicine.

Equivalent Couples
Two couples are considered to be equivalent if they produce the same rotational effect on a rigid body. In other words, the two couples have the same magnitude and act in the same direction, causing the same angular displacement or acceleration in the body.
For instance, consider two couples lying in the plane of the page, with one having a pair of equal...

Stresses under Combined Loadings
The process begins by slicing the tube at critical points and analyzing the internal forces and stress components at these sections, focusing on the centroid. Normal stresses, generated by axial forces and bending moments, are either compressive or tensile and vary across the section from...
