Albert Wojciech Adamkiewicz (born August 11, 1850 in Żerków ( Powiat Jarociński ), † October 31, 1921 in Vienna ) was a Polish doctor, pathologist , neurologist and neuroanatomist .

Life

Albert Adamkiewicz was the son of the doctor Adolf Adamkiewicz. He attended secondary schools in Bydgoszcz (Bromberg) and Kętrzyn (Rastenburg).

He studied medicine at the Albertus University in Königsberg since 1868 , continued his studies in Breslau , interrupted his studies because of the Franco-German War and continued in Würzburg . As a third-year student, he presented a treatise on mechanical devices for stopping bleeding, which brought him first prize in a competition and a doctorate. As an excellent student, he became the assistant to professors Rudolf Heidenhain in Breslau and, from 1871, Friedrich Daniel von Recklinghausenat the anatomopathological faculty of the University of Würzburg. After completing his studies in Würzburg, Adamkiewicz returned to Breslau to take the remaining exams in 1873.

In March 1873 Adamkiewicz became Wilhelm von Wittich's assistant in the Physiological Institute at Königsberg University. Two years later he was appointed head of the laboratory of the Faculty of Internal Medicine at Bernhard Naunyn . In 1876 as a lecturer in pathophysiology at the University of Königsberg, he gave lectures on medical diagnostics. A few months later he came to Berlin to accept the position offered to him in the Department of Nervous Diseases of the Charité Hospital with Carl Friedrich Otto Westphal . From 1879 to 1892 he headed the Faculty of General and Experimental Pathology at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow.

In the 1890s he announced that a parasite, Coccidium sarcolytus , caused canker sores and that he had invented a serum called "Kankroin" against it. That turned out to be wrong, Adamkiewicz was sharply criticized by doctors, left Krakow and came to Vienna in 1892, where he retired in 1893 and practiced at the Jewish Rothschild Hospital .

He described the vascular supply to the spinal cord , after which the Adamkiewicz artery ( arteria radicularis magna ) described is named.
