[Historical considerations on preventive medicine].

Efforts in order to prevent disease have been made at all times. Attempts in prevention, however, were different from one cultural region to another. In recent times prevention of disease has increased thanks to multiple research results. Thus the doctor is more often consulted in order to receive a preventive examination. At present the health status of many german children is rather frightening. Increasingly diseases of the adult are already seen in children. Prevention here is most important.

[Interdisciplinary questions of gynecology and urology].

Disease of the female genital system often lead to involvement of the urinary tract. This mostly is caused by topical relations between both systems. Futhermore renal disease and disease of the urinary tract are frequent complications of pregnancy. In the course of centuries research in the gynecological and urological interdisciplinary area have developed which lead to many new understandings in diagnosis and therapy. Concerned patients received help that had not been accessible in earlier times. Examples are post partum bladder-vaginal fistulas, stress-incontinence, urological complications in operations of uterine cancer and pyelonephritis in pregnancy. Many questions, though, remain unsolved despite progress in this interdisciplinary area.

[Development of clinical diagnosis].

History of clinical diagnosis starts with HIPPOCRATES and his school. History taking and inspection are fundamental diagnostic tools. later on feeling of the pulse, and observation of the tone of the voice are added. In GALEN's system examination findings serve to substantiate theoretical views. Since the time of AVINCENNA uroscopy gains special meaning. Urine examination and pulse control are the most important diagnostic tools for PARACELSUS. His name is connected with diagnosis, "ex juvantibus". Clinical examination obtains further impulses by VESALIUS and later MORGAGNI. In 1761 AUENBRUGGER discovers percussion, LAENNEC in 1819 auscultation. Measurement of arterial blood pressure (RIVA-ROCCI) develops to an important procedure since 1896. Microscopical examination becomes routine in the second half of the 19th century. The same applies to the bacteriological (KOCH, PASTEUR) and endoscopic examination. Discovery of X-rays by ROENTGEN in 1895 widens diagnosis considerably. Ultrasound sonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance tomography stand at a temporary end of a long development of clinical diagnosis which is completed by the discussion of principal signs.
