from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Kolominský (Czech: Jiří Kolominský ; Slovak: Juraj Kolominský ; born December 16, 1925 in Prague , † June 18, 1986 in Bad Oeynhausen ) was a Czechoslovak gastroenterologist specializing in balneology . He was director of the Balneological Research Institute in Karlovy Vary , which he expanded into a leading national and internationally recognized center for spa medicine. With a focus on balneology in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract , he was a globally recognized researcher, specialist author and clinic director.

origin

Georg Vladislav Kolominský was born in Prague as the first child of the married couple Jaromír Rabas (1887–1929) and Miloslava Peterková (1902–1947). Jaromír Rabas came from an upper-class Prague family and studied construction and engineering. Miloslava Peterková came from a medium-sized family from Suchovršice (German Saugwitz) in northern Bohemia and was a teacher. Jaromír Rabas took part in the First World War as captain of the 28th kuk railway company of the land forces Austria-Hungary and worked in Tyrol under the direction of Leopold Oerley on the construction of the Fiemme Valley Railway and the Gardena Railway . The Val Gardena Railway was built in 1915/16 as an army field railway in order to be able to supply the units stationed on the Dolomite front with material. After the war he worked in Prague as a construction and surveying engineer and ran his own construction company. The parents married in 1924 and their daughter Jarmila was born in February 1929. In August 1929 Jaromír Rabas died of sepsis as a result of acute dental ulceration at the age of 42. Miloslava married the Russian civil and surveying engineer Boris Kolominský (* 1896 in Krasnograd ; † 1949 in Žilina ) in 1932 . Boris Kolominský was an officer in the Imperial Russian Army and fought in the Russian Civil War 1918–1920 in the White Army at the side of Admiral Alexander Vasilievich Kolchak . After the separate peace treaty of Brest-Litovsk between the Bolsheviks and the Central Powers, he fought in the Czechoslovak legions in Siberia against the Red Army of Leon Trotsky . In the course of the shipment of the Czechoslovak legions by Allied ships from Vladivostok to Europe, Boris Kolominský left Russia and reached Prague via Shanghai and Istanbul, where he was accepted as a Polish emigrant. Both children of Jaromír Rabas were adopted by him in May 1942 and officially took the surname Kolominský-Rabas . In 1937 the family moved the company and residence to Žilina (German Sillein) in Slovakia .

Life

In Slovakia, Juraj Kolominský attended grammar school in Žilina and was there in 1941 a co-founder of the Slovak Entomological Society. After graduating from high school in 1944, he studied medicine first at the University of Bratislava , from 1946 at the Medical Faculty of the Charles University in Prague , where he obtained his license to practice medicine as a Medicinae Universae Doctor (MUDr) in 1950. 1950–1954 he had to serve five years in the Czechoslovak People's Army as a medical officer. In 1956 he was recognized as a specialist in internal medicine , and in 1957 as a specialist in balneology and physical medicine . As part of his medical training, he worked in Prague as well as in the Piešťany spas in Slovakia, Františkovy Lázně (Franzensbad in German) and Marienbad . In 1958 he was appointed director of the Balneological Research Institute IP Pavlov (Výzkumný ústav balneologický - VUB) in Karlovy Vary . The VUB was directly subordinate to the Czechoslovak Ministry of Health in Prague, had a capacity of 103 clinical beds and around 170 employees. The VUB was the leading research facility in the field of balneology and physical medicine in the so-called Eastern Bloc, published a total of 530 scientific publications between 1962 and 1972 and issued medical guidelines for therapeutic applications in the spas of the CSSR. After the violent suppression of the Prague Spring by the Warsaw Pact troops , Kolominský emigrated with his family to the Federal Republic of Germany in October 1968. 1968–1969 he was the medical director of the Parksanatorium St. Georg health clinic in Bad Soden-Salmünster , 1970–1972 scientific director of the Balneological Institute Bad Lippspringe and from 1972 until his death in 1986 he worked as a balneologist in Bad Oeynhausen . Georg Kolominský was with Rosemarie Kolominský, geb. Wild (born July 27, 1923 in Ústí nad Labem ) married. The neurologist and health care researcher Peter Kolominský-Rabas (* 1959) emerged from the marriage.

Working as a scientist

Even in his medical training as a gastroenterologist , Kolominský dealt with the therapeutic use of naturally occurring healing springs in the form of baths, drinking cures and inhalations . Immediately after his appointment to the VUB in Karlovy Vary in 1958, he began researching the effects of the Karlovy Vary drinking cure on diseases of the gallbladder , biliary tract and pancreas , which received international attention in balneology.

In 1968 Kolominský and Miloslav Keclík carried out a randomized controlled study (RCT) on the effectiveness of the Karlovy Vary drinking cure on the development of gallstones.Kolominský was the first scientist who, on the basis of empirical evidence, determined the effects of balneotherapy using strict methodological and clinical requirements of the evidence Medicine (EbM).

His scientific work is part of a long tradition of spa doctors in Karlovy Vary on disorders of the digestive organs. As early as 1522, the Bohemian doctor Wenceslaus Payer (1488–1537) from Loket (German Elbogen) described in his work Tractatvs De Termis Caroli Qvarti Imperatoris the beneficial effect of the so-called Carlsbad drinking cure on "weak stomachs" and "gallstones". Payer was the first doctor who introduced the drinking cure as a new healing method by using the Karlovy Vary thermal springs. In the middle of the 18th century, the spa doctor David Becher (1725–1792) separated the commercial product Karlsbader Sprudelsalz from the spring water of the "Karlsbader Sprudels" by distillation and described its healing effects in 1772 in his book Neue Abhandlung vom Karlsbad: in dreyen parts . The Swiss doctor Jean de Carro , who lives in Karlsbad, examined the positive effects of drinking cures in diseases of the biliary tract and, with his publications, contributed to establishing Karlsbad as one of the leading health spas of the 18th and 19th centuries.
