family
He was a son of Callimaco Dagnini and Rosa Palmieri in Bologna.
education and profession
After graduating from Galvani High School, Dagnini enrolled at the University of Bologna in medicine and surgery. He then worked as assistant to Pietro Albertoni (1849–1933) at the renowned Physiological Institute in Bologna and, after a few years of physiological research, received his doctorate in 1891 with distinction on the subject of biliary chlorine content . He then took on an assistant position at the Bolognese Ospedale Maggiore under I. Cantalamessa, who mainly dealt with the development and technology of apparatus-based diagnostics and graphic recording options for measured values. The interest in medical process engineering remained characteristic of Dagnini's clinical and experimental work.
Then he moved to the University Clinic in Bologna, first as an assistant, later as A. Murri's Aiuto , where he stayed until 1903. In 1895 he qualified as a professor for special pathology . In 1903 he was appointed senior physician at the Ospedale Maggiore in Bologna. In 1919 he retired from active professional life.
power
Dagnini's work is particularly important for the development of modern European cardiology. He published on rare pulse phenomena and their graphic documentation (1894), on the physiology and pathophysiology of the venous circulation (from 1896), on the physiology of cardiac action and its vegetative influence (1908), on nodal tachycardia , bradycardic AV nodal dissociation, Digitalis block as well as congenital and acquired valvulopathies , cardiomyopathies and adhesive as well as constrictive pericarditis .
Another focus was the study of neurological diseases. He described the oculocardial reflex in 1908 as well as the tone and function of certain muscles (frontal muscles) in hemiplegics . He dealt with the semiology of eye movement , meningitis cerebrospinalis, the tabes dorsalis and was interested in ophthalmoscopy (1911-1913). At the suggestion of the Medical-Surgical Society of Bologna, he undertook a study in 1918 on the epidemic influenza , which claimed many victims in post-war Europe. Further work dealt with asynergistic eye muscle movements, hereditary muscle diseases (e.g. Aran- Duchenne 's disease ), nervous diseases, traumatic neuroses , hysteria and epidemic encephalomyelitis (1924–1928).
He was president of the Medical-Surgical Society of Bologna (1922–1924) and a member of numerous domestic and foreign medical societies, was co-editor of the Bullettino della Società medica chirurgica di Bologna and founded the specialist journal Le Malattie del cuore e dei vasi (later Cuore e circolazione ).
A street in Bologna is named after him ( Via Giuseppe Dagnini ).
