Carl von Noorden (medic)
Carl Harko Johannes Hermann von Noorden , also Karl von Noorden (born September 13, 1858 in Bonn , † October 26, 1944 in Vienna ) was a German internist and diabetologist .
Life
Carl was the son of the historian Carl von Noorden and his wife Elizabeth Fanny Lavino, who was born in England. Great-grandfathers were the physician Johannes von Noorden, he worked in Rotterdam , and Christian Friedrich Nasse , the director of the medical clinic at the newly founded University of Bonn . School education in Bonn, Greifswald, Marburg and Tübingen.
In 1876 he passed the Abitur examination. Carl Harko von Noorden studied a. a. in Leipzig, Tübingen and in Freiburg. Initially his focus was on law, philosophy and mathematics. Then he got enthusiastic about chemistry and medicine, especially metabolic diseases. During his studies in Tübingen , he belonged to the circle of friends who founded the Igel Tübingen academic association a year later . In 1881 von Noorden passed the state examination in Leipzig and received his doctorate in December of the same year on the subject of "On the determination of hemoglobin in blood with the help of quantitative spectral analysis".
As a licensed doctor, he first went to Kiel as an assistant to the Physiological Institute, then he volunteered for four months with Werner Hagedorn in Magdeburg in the field of surgery. From December 1883 in Gießen , Carl von Noorden was clinical assistant at the medical clinic of Franz Riegel (1843–1904). Here he took up the topic of gastrointestinal diseases again. After working for two years in Giessen, he qualified as a professor on September 30, 1885 for the subject of internal medicine with the subject "About albuminuria in healthy people" and became a private lecturer. In the same year he married Agnes Binz (1863-1917), the daughter of the well-known pharmacologist and medical historian Carl Binz . The marriage had four children: Elisabeth (1886–1960), Karl (Carl) (1888–1975), Hans (1892–1972) and Roda (1894–1986). In 1921 he married again: Hedwig Herta an der Heiden, head nurse at the cottage sanatorium for nervous and metabolic patients in Vienna; this marriage remained childless.
In 1889 he followed Carl Gerhardt's (1833–1902) invitation to the Charité's second medical clinic, initially as first assistant doctor in Berlin and stayed there until 1894. After being appointed professor in mid-1893, he pursued university teaching. From the autumn of 1893 he was temporarily assigned the college on special pathology and therapy by August Hirsch . The foundations of his later career as a doctor and scientist, particularly with regard to metabolic diseases, were laid in Berlin. It was here that his famous "Handbook of the Pathology of Metabolism" appeared in the first edition in 1893. In addition to other treatises on the subject of metabolic diseases, shortly before he moved to Frankfurt, he was asked by the editor of the American "20th Century Practice in Medicine" to write an article about diabetes that made him known not only in the USA. The article, written in 1895, was the inspiration for what would later become his own specialty. From this article on diabetes mellitus emerged in the same year of Noorden's main work “The diabetes and its treatment” and established the Noorden's era in the therapy of diabetes. This work remained an undisputed textbook for over 30 years.
In 1895, Carl von Noorden and the Frankfurt doctor Eduard Lampé (1857–1924) founded the “Private Clinic for Diabetic Patients and Dietetic Cures” in the Frankfurt district of Sachsenhausen , later as the Carl von Noorden Clinic, or Clinic Dr. Lampé, known and today the "Sachsenhausen Hospital". The private clinic for diabetics and dietetic cures was probably the first specialist clinic for diabetes in Europe. In 1894, at the age of 36, von Noorden got a job as chief physician for internal medicine at the municipal hospital in Frankfurt, which he held until 1906. In the same year he was offered a call to the University of Vienna to succeed Hermann Nothnagel as full professor of internal medicine and head of the First Medical Clinic. On October 17, 1906, Noorden gave his inaugural lecture, which he supplemented with an obituary for his predecessor. In Vienna he also set up a center for diabetics.
Despite the most energetic reply to the rumors that had arisen up to 1912 that he wanted to leave Vienna in favor of a Frankfurt private clinic, Noorden actually resigned his teaching post in 1913, returned to Frankfurt am Main and again acted as chief physician at the private clinic in Sachsenhausen. It is possible that this change came about through the mayor of Frankfurt , Franz Adickes . In the pre-insulin era, Carl von Noorden developed suitable therapy options early on, particularly in the field of dietetics. His oat days and the introduction of the carbohydrate equivalent WBE (white bread unit), which made it easier to better control the energy supply for diabetics, were groundbreaking. He campaigned for the training of doctors and dieticians and founded one of the first diet schools at Sachsenhausen Hospital. After the discovery of insulin by Banting and Best in 1921 , he was one of the first physicians to use insulin in Germany as a successful treatment to combat diabetes.
From 1930, von Noorden returned to the Wiener Städtische Krankenanstalten ( Lainz Hospital ), where he worked and taught until his death.
His brother, Privy Councilor, Dr. med. Werner von Noorden (born May 20, 1860 in Bonn , † May 6, 1945 in Rügen ) became a doctor. In 1903 he opened a practice in Homburg vor der Höhe at Parkstrasse 4 (today Wilhelm-Meister-Strasse). As a spa doctor, Werner was one of the first to use the clay mud obtained in Homburg for packs. Werner von Noorden also dealt with the "Homburg Diet" and promoted its implementation. For his treatment of King Chulalongkorn , Werner received a fee of 30,000 marks from Bangkok in 1907 and the title of Medical Councilor from Berlin . However, Werner did not come close to Carl’s international fame. Carl Harko von Noorden's level of fame and the aftereffect of medicine are significantly greater than that of his father as a historian.
Noordens scientific fields of activity were mainly in the research and treatment of metabolic diseases. He became known for the development of a diet oat cure in 1902, which lowers the blood sugar level. This is also used today to treat this disease.
For many years he treated the youngest sister of Empress Auguste Victoria , Feodora von Schleswig-Holstein , who suffered from diabetes .
