Santorio - Santorio (English spelling) Santorio Santorio

Italian physician and philosopher. Born on the island of Istria near Trieste. His father was an artillery officer. At the age of 14, he entered the University of Padua, where he studied medicine and natural philosophy for seven years, and then opened a practice at the request of King Maximilian of Padua. He was professor of medicine at the University of Padua from 1611 to 1624, and later became consultant to Venetian physicians. He is known as the founder of modern metabolism, measuring the weight loss caused by insensible evaporation from the skin and lungs. He is also known for introducing two useful instruments into clinical medicine: the thermometer and the clock. Santorio was in contact with the leading scientist of the time, Galileo, and is thought to have learned about these two instruments through him. He also designed a trocar for removing bladder stones and a tracheal cannula for diphtheria patients. His works include Aphorisms (1614).

イタリアの医師、哲学者。トリエステ近くのイストリア島の生まれ。父は砲兵下士官。14歳でパドバ大学に入学し、7年間、医学と自然哲学を学んだのち、パドバ王マクシミリアンの求めに応じ、開業した。1611年から1624年までパドバ大学の医学教授を務めたのち、ベネチアの開業医の顧問となった。彼は近代の物質代謝学の創始者として、皮膚呼吸や肺呼吸による不感蒸散による体重減少を計測した。また二つの有益な器具、すなわち温度計と時計を臨床医学に導入したことで知られている。サントリオは当時、第一級の科学者ガリレイとの交際があり、彼を通じてこの二つの器具のことを学んだと考えられている。そのほか膀胱(ぼうこう)結石をとる套管(とうかん)針やジフテリア患者用の気管カニューレをデザインした。著書に『警句』Aphorisms(1614)がある。
