Eduard Sandifort

Eduard Sandifort (born November 14, 1742 in Dordrecht , † February 12, 1814 in Leiden ) was a Dutch anatomist and is considered the father of pathological iconography.

Life

Eduard Sandifort was the son of pastor Gerard Sandifort and his wife Geertrudi Helena Snellen. He had received his first education at the high school in The Hague . In 1758 he began to study medical sciences under Bernhard Siegfried Albinus at the University of Leiden and received his doctorate on December 19, 1763 on the subject of de Pelvi ejusque in partu dilatatione as a doctor of medicine. He then worked as a general practitioner in The Hague, where he published his Natuur en Geneeskundige Bibliotheek on a quarterly basis . In doing so, he had established a wide range of scientific contacts.

He became a member of the Leopoldina on September 28, 1766 , in 1768 he became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm and until 1809 a member of nineteen other scientific societies in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Scotland, England and France. On October 1, 1771 he became a lecturer in anatomy and surgery at the Leiden University, on April 30, 1771 the curators of the Leiden University appointed him extraordinary professor of anatomy and surgery, which he did on May 22, 1771 with the unprinted inaugural address oratio de optimo Anatomico took over. On February 1, 1772 he was appointed full professor of anatomy and surgery, which chair he examined on May 25, 1772 with the speech De circumspecto cadaverum, optimo Med. Pract. adminiculo took over. In addition, on June 12, 1778, he was given the professorship of medicine.

In his capacity as a teaching staff at the university, he took part in the organizational tasks and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1782/83 and 1802/03 . At the resignation of the rectorate he gave the speeches de officio Medici perquam difficili a multis pessime neglecto (1783) and de Bernardo Siegfried Albino, Anatomicorum, quotquot elapso floruerant seculo, facile principe, physiologorum vero sui temporis summon (1803). From his marriage to Catharina Johanna Kindeed comes the son Gerard Sandifort (1779-1848), to whom he transferred his anatomical tasks on March 29, 1805 and with whom he held lectures on medicine, surgery and anatomy from November 4, 1807. In addition, his son Paul Johannes Sandifort (* around 1781 in Leiden) also became a doctor. In 1813 Sandifort retired from his teaching duties and died a year later.

An early description of Fallot's tetralogy , a deformity of the heart , published in 1777, comes from Sandifort .

The vaccination of cattle, as well as smallpox in humans, was promoted by Sandifort. From 1808 he worked as a consultant doctor to King Louis Bonaparte . From his in-depth study of pathological anatomy, the Leiden skeleton collection and numerous illustrations in his works emerged. Jean Cruveilhier (1791–1874) therefore called him the father of pathological iconography .
