Juli 16. August Geriatrie Die Geriatrie oder Altersheilkunde ist die Lehre von den Krankheiten des alten Menschen. Dies betrifft v.a. Probleme aus den Bereichen der Inneren Medizin , der Orthop¤die Neurologie und Psychiatrie (Gerontopsychiatrie). Als Gerontologie oder Altersforschung wird andererseits die Wissenschaft bezeichnet, die sich mit Alterungsvorg¤ngen in allen ihren Aspekten befasst. Geriatrie ist keinesfalls mit der Palliativmedizin zu verwechseln, die sich das Ziel setzt, dem Menschen im letzten Stadium einer unheilbaren Krankheit ein menschenw¼rdiges Sterben zu erm¶glichen. Die Geriatrie tritt an, dem alten, aber v. A. dem sehr alten Menschen zu einem besseren Leben zu verhelfen. Dabei ist der Geriater haupts¤chlich dann gefordert, wenn Mehrfacherkrankungen ( Multimorbidit¤t ) vorliegen, die den einzelnen Arzt der jeweiligen medizinischen F¤cher aufgrund vielf¤ltiger Verflechtungen ¼berfordern. Die Geriatrie ist somit als eine fach¼bergreifende Disziplin zu verstehen. „rzte k¶nnen nach der Facharztausbildung (z.B. Fach¤rzte f¼r Innere Medizin, Allgemeinmedizin) in Deutschland die Zusatzbezeichnung "Geriatrie" erwerben.

Waksman, Selman Abraham Waksman, 1968 By courtesy of Rutgers News Service, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J. (b. July 22, 1888, Priluka, Ukraine, Russian Empire [now Pryluky, Ukraine]d. Aug. 16, 1973, Hyannis, Mass., U.S.), Ukrainian-born American biochemist who was one of the world's foremost authorities on soil microbiology. After the discovery of penicillin, he played a major role in initiating a calculated, systematic search for antibiotics among microbes. His consequent discovery of the antibiotic streptomycin , the first specific agent effective in the treatment of tuberculosis, brought him the 1952 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine A naturalized U.S. citizen (1916), Waksman spent most of his career at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J., where he served as professor of soil microbiology (1930-40), professor of microbiology and chairman of the department (1940-58), and director of the Rutgers Institute of Microbiology (1949-58). During his extensive study of the actinomycetes (filamentous, bacteria-like microorganisms found in the soil), he extracted from them antibiotics (a term he coined in 1941) valuable for their killing effect not only on gram-positive bacteria, against which penicillin is effective, but also on gram-negative bacteria, of which the tubercle bacillus ( Mycobacterium tuberculosis ) is one.

An antibiotic, C H O N , produced by the actinomycete Streptomyces griseus, used to treat tuberculosis and other bacterial infections. STREPTOMYC(ES) –IN Encyclopedia streptomycin strĕp tōmī sĭn antibiotic produced by soil bacteria of the genus Streptomyces and active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (see Gram's stain ), including species resistant to other antibiotics, e.g., some streptococci, penicillin-resistant staphylococci, and bacteria of the genera Proteus and Pseudomonas. Originally isolated by Selman A. Waksman and Albert Schatz in 1947, streptomycin is effective against tubercle bacilli and is a mainstay of tuberculosis therapy. Because streptomycin-resistant tubercle bacilli emerge during treatment, the antibiotic is usually used in combination with one or more of the drugs isoniazid , ethambutol, and aminosalicylic acid. Streptomycin acts by inhibiting protein synthesis and damaging cell membranes in susceptible microorganisms. Possible side effects include injury to the kidneys and nerve damage that can result in dizziness and deafness.

In this achievement earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Born in Priluky Ukraine , Waksman obtained his matriculation diploma in from the Fifth Gymnasium in Odessa Ukraine , as an extern, and immigrated to the United States , where graduated from Rutgers University in with a B.Sc. degree in Agriculture He performed research in soil bacteriology under Dr. J. G. Lipman at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station before being awarded his M.Sc. degree in . That same year Waksman became a naturalized citizen and was appointed a Research Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley where he earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry in . He later joined the faculty at Rutgers University in the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology. It was at Rutgers that Waksman discovered several antibiotics, including streptomycin Waksman is often wrongly credited with the discovery of streptomycin. The work was entirely that of Rutgers graduate student Albert Schatz. Fearing a tuberculosis infection, Waksman initially rejected the research project and never entered the laboratory where Schatz isolated streptomycin.
