Overview:
Lactic acid was first found and described in sour milk by Karl Wilhelm Scheele (1742–1786) in 1780. The German physician–chemist Johann Joseph Scherer (1841–1869) was the first to demonstrate the presence of lactic acid in human blood in 1843 and 1851. His 1843 case reports are the first description of lactic acid in human blood post-mortem and as a pathological finding in septic and haemorrhagic shock. Carl Folwarczny, an Austrian physician, was the first to demonstrate lactic acid in blood in a living patient in 1858.
Discovery
- Scherer highlighted in the conclusion of his book (published 1843), the fact that lactic acid was present in patients of puerperal fever and not in healthy people. He was of the mind that lactic acid was formed in blood during breakdown of tissue in puerperal fever and other severe diseases. Thus, lactic acid was recorded in human blood for the first time and was associated for the first time with symptoms of septic and haemorrhagic shock.
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- Include notable scientists who studied the condition.
- Include landmark changes in approaches to studying the disease.
- This is a good place to include pictures of treatments, such as the "iron lung" for polio. For more information on adding pictures, click here.
- For an example of a development of treatment strategies section within a historical perspective page, click here.
Impact on Cultural History
- Here you can include the impact the disease has had over time from a cultural aspect.
- Include pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks, and initial mortality.
- Include the impact of the disease on society, such as the devastation, the way the sick were treated, and the impacts of the treatments that were used at the time.
- For an example of an impact on cultural history section within a historical perspective page, click here.
Famous Cases
- Include prominent cases of the condition in history (eg. Typhoid Mary).
- Include famous people who were afflicted by the condition.
- Include famous cases that defined the condition in history.
