In 1861, Zenker first discovered fat embolism (FES), after he found pulmonary capillary fat deposition in a patient who suffered from crush injury.
In 1873, Bergmann described the first clinical case of FES in a patient who suffered a distal femur fracture.
In 1875, Czerny explored cerebral symptoms associated with FES.
In 1924, Gauss proposed the mechanical theory, which explains that three conditions are necessary for the development of fat embolism: injury to adipose tissue, rupture of veins within the zone of injury, and a mechanism that causes the passage of free fat into the open ends of blood vessel.

In [year], [diagnostic test/therapy] was developed by [scientist] to treat/diagnose [disease name].
