[Anatomist, pathologist and philanthropist].

Fredrik Georg Gade (1855-1933) was born in Bergen as the eldest son of a merchant and politician. He graduated from the University of Oslo in 1880. After clinical residency and training in anatomy and pathology at the National Hospital in Oslo, he worked in several of the most outstanding medical research institutions in Continental Europe, including the institutes of Robert Koch and Carl Friedländer in Berlin, Carl Weigert in Frankfurt, the pathologists and anatomists Victor Cornil, Louis-Antoine Ranvier and Louis Charles Malassez in Paris. Gade was associate professor (prosector) of anatomy in Oslo from 1897 to 1906 and also the editor of the Norwegian Medical Journal (Norsk Magazin for Laegevidenskaben). He was also one of the pioneers of cancer statistics in Norway. In addition to his scientific publications, he wrote extensively on political and cultural issues. Struck by serious illness he donated most of his family fortune to establish an institute for pathology in his home town Bergen, which opened in 1912 under the name Dr. med. F.G. Gades Pathologiske institutt. It later became one of the pillars of the Medical Faculty when the University of Bergen was established in 1946 (now: The Gade Institute, University of Bergen).

Contemporaneous anatomic collections and scientific papers from the 19th century school of anatomy of Bologna: preliminary report.

Recently, a strict relationship was demonstrated between scientific pathology reports of the 19th century and a large number of specimens from the museum of pathology 'Cesare Taruffi' of Bologna. Such an experience suggested verifying whether a similar relationship exists between the 19th-century collections of the museum of anatomy and the contemporaneous anatomic scientific literature. The purpose of this preliminary report is to illustrate the first documented samples recovered in Bologna in order to promote such an inventory of old anatomic and pathologic specimens in other museums.
