Locul și rolul morfopatologiei în evoluția științelor medicale

Abstract

Pathology is the science dealing with the diagnosis of diseases based on the study of the macroscopic and microscopic changes of the cells and tissues induced by a pathological condition. The first treaty of pathology was written by Giovanni Battista Morgagni of Padua, in 1761 – the founder of the modern pathology. Recently, both in high precision diagnosis and in studies aiming to clear up unknown aspects of various pathological processes, great successes have been achieved by using subtle microscopic methods, histochemistry methods, respectively.
