Joseph Leopold von Auenbrugger

Joseph Leopold von Auenbrugger

Austrian medical scientist. Born to an innkeeper in Graz, he graduated from the University of Vienna in 1752 and became a doctor. He worked at the Spanish Hospital in Vienna from 1754, where he conducted research on the percussion method, which he published in 1761. It is said that he invented the percussion method after being inspired by his father tapping wine barrels in the family winery as a child to examine their contents. At the time, his discovery was met with mixed reviews, and the response was not good at all. After that, the percussion method was gradually forgotten, but in 1808, about 50 years after its invention, it was taken up by the Frenchman Corbizar. Corbizar translated Auenbrugger's book " Inventum novum " (A new invention for the detection of deep intrathoracic lesions by percussion on the human chest), and published it with notes, which led to the percussion method becoming widely used in Europe and being re-imported to Vienna.

オーストリアの医学者。グラーツの宿屋の子として生まれ、1752年ウィーン大学を卒業して医師となった。1754年からウィーンのスペイン病院に勤務し、そこで打診法の研究を行い、1761年にこれを発表した。幼少のころ家の酒蔵で父がぶどう酒の樽(たる)をたたいて、その内容を調べていたことにヒントを得て、打診法を発明したといわれている。当時彼の発見に対しては賛否両論があり、その反響はけっしてよくなかった。その後しだいに忘れ去られた打診法は、発明後約50年を経た1808年になって、フランスのコルビザールによって取り上げられた。コルビザールはアウエンブルッガーの著書『人体の胸部打診により、胸郭内深部病変を発見する新考案』、略してInventum novumを翻訳し、これに注をつけて出版したので、その後、打診法は広くヨーロッパに普及し、ウィーンにも逆輸入されるようになった。
