Damn! This is a toughie! What class is this for?!\n Okay, White Blood Cells were discovered in 1922. That's the first link.\n I'm not sure they recorded this persons name.... it must be somewhere out there, but I can't find it. At least we got the year though.....

It depends on the person and there is no ratio for this. My dad smoked all his life and died at the age of 84 but not from lung cancer. My mom died of lung cancer when she was 65 and she smoked all her life as well. You'll never know. However, smoking causes other types of cancer such as pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, cancer of the throat, the mouth and esophagus. Smoking causes Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Decease including emphysema, which is not reversible. Smoking causes strokes as well. See it is not all about the lungs it is much more involved. Set a quitting date and do it, it is never to late.

Criterion for testing: people who didn't smoke got lung cancer just like smokers.  Turned out that these people that didn't smoke but got cancer anyway, lived or worked with smokers or inhaled second hand smoke from their living environments.\n\nProcedure: statistical analysis of thousands of patients that had cancer.

Nitrogen was discovered by Daniel Rutherford who was a student who needed a dissertation in order to finish his medical degree. However, all references I can find say he did this in 1772. \n\nBromine was prepared by Carl Löwig in about 1825 before starting his freshman year at Heidelberg. With winter exams and holidays, he was delayed in studying it further as his professor had requested, and another chemist Antoine-Jérôme Balard, published a paper describing the new element.  Balard was given the credit for discovering the new element.

A LONG TRAIL OF EVIDENCE LINKS CIGARETTE SMOKING TO LUNG CANCER\n\nAs someone who’s life has been touched by the tragic effects of cigarette smoking, I was saddened last week when the Supreme Court barred the FDA from regulating cigarettes. About 48 million adult Americans smoked cigarettes last year, according to the CDC. That’s one in four people, a fact that astonishes and alarms me. Why? Because this year an estimated 180,000 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer in the United States, and 90% of them will die within three years -- and 96% of these cancer victims are cigarette smokers.\n\n\nIs there a cause-and-effect connection between smoking cigarettes and lung cancer? Two years ago, I wrote my first columns for the Post Dispatch, explaining the scientific evidence that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer, and that cigarette smoking is addictive. If these two points are indeed true, then cigarettes , so much a part of American life, are in fact an addictive deadly drug! In the hope of encouraging readers to urge congress to act, I am reprinting these columns. In today’s column we will follow the trail of evidence that proves clearly that smoking causes cancer. In next week’s column I will examine the evidence that smoking tobacco is addictive.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPOINTING THE FINGER AT CIGARETTES\n\n\nThe long trail of evidence linking cigarettes to lung cancer has its beginnings right here in St. Louis, at Washington University’s School of Medicine. In 1948 a young first-year medical student, Ernst Wynder, witnessed an autopsy of a man who had died of lung cancer, and noted the lungs were blackened. Curious, he looked into the background of the patient. There was no obvious exposure to air pollution, but the man’s wife revealed he had smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for thirty years! Like a dog with a juicy bone, Wynder had found a puzzle that would occupy him much of his professional life, and despite much controversy, he never let go of it.\n\n\nOver the next two years, Wynder doggedly reviewed records to see if there were other cases linking cigarettes and lung cancer. He found that many lung cancer patients were smokers. Interviewing lung cancer patients and "control" patients with other cancers, far more cancer occurred among the smokers. Early in 1950 he published his results in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Comparing 649 lung cancer patients with 600 controls, he found lung cancer an incredible 40 times higher among smokers, with the risk of cancer increasing with the number of cigarettes smoked.\n\n\nLater that year, Richard Doll, a well known British scientist, reported an even more convincing finding linking smoking to lung cancer. Over a period of years, Doll had interviewed quite a large number of physicians, inquiring of each about their smoking habits -- then waited to see which ones developed lung cancer. Overwhelmingly, they were the smokers. Because it was not "after the fact", Doll’s test of the smoking causes cancer hypothesis was particularly rigorous and powerful. From that day forward, the scientific case linking smoking to lung cancer has been clear-cut.

Virchow is credited with multiple significant discoveries. He is cited as the first to recognize leukemia. However, he is perhaps best known for his law Omnis cellula e cellula ("every cell originates from another cell") which he published in 1855. (The epigram was actually coined by François-Vincent Raspail but popularized by Virchow). This relates to his findings that not the whole organism, but only certain cells or groups of cells can become sick. Virchow is also famous for elucidating the mechanism of pulmonary thromboembolism, thus coining the term embolism. He noted that blood clots in the pulmonary artery originate first from venous thrombi, stating: "The detachment of larger or smaller fragments from the end of the softening thrombus which are carried along by the current of blood and driven into remote vessels. This gives rise to the very frequent process on which I have bestowed the name of Embolia." Related to this research Virchow has been attributed a triad describing the factors contributing to venous thrombosis, Virchow's triad. Virchow founded the medical disciplines of cellular pathology, comparative pathology (comparison of diseases common to humans and animals) and anthropology.\n\n...\n\nBy 1848 Virchow had disproved the then-prevailing view that phlebitis (inflammation of a vein) causes most diseases. He demonstrated that masses in the blood vessels resulted from "thrombosis" (his term) and that portions of a thrombus could become detached to form an "embolus" (also his term). An embolus set free in the circulation might eventually be trapped in a narrower vessel and lead to a serious lesion in the neighbouring parts. He was the first to recognise lung-and cerebral embolism.\n\nVirchow's concept of cellular pathology was initiated while he was at Würzburg. Until the latter part of the 18th century, diseases were supposed to be due to an imbalance of the four fluid humours of the body (blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile). This was the "humoral pathology," which dated back to the Greeks.\n\nContrary to the humoral pathology and kraselære of the Vienna school Virchow saw the causes of disease in changes of the cells. To Virchow the body is a “cell state in which each cell is a citizen,” and he considered disease to be simply “a conflict between the citizens of the state, caused by outer forces.” He crushed the old doctrines of humors and crases, and because of this was particularly brutal in his attack on Rokitansky’s first textbook Handbuch der pathologischen Anatomie (3 volumes, 1842-1846). In the second edition of this book (1855-1861) Rokitansky had removed all references to this type of speculative thinking.\n\nAt Würzburg Virchow began to realize that one form of the cell theory, which postulated that every cell originated from a pre-existing cell rather than from amorphous material, could give new insight into pathological processes. In this he was influenced by the work of many others, notably by the views of John Goodsir (1814-1867) of Edinburgh on the cell as a centre of nutrition. Virchow dedicated the first edition of his Cellularpathologie to Goodsir. He was also influenced by the investigations of the German neuroanatomist and embryologist Robert Remak (1815-1865), who in 1852 was one of the first to point out that cell division accounted for the multiplication of cells to form tissues. By that year Remak had concluded that new cells arose from existing cells in diseased as well as healthy tissue. Remak's writings, however, had little influence on pathologists and medical practitioners. Thus the idea expressed by Virchow's omnis cellula e cellula ("every cell is derived from a [preexisting] cell") is not completely original. Even this aphorism is not Virchow's; it was coined by the French natural scientist and politician François Vincent Raspail (1794-1878) in 1825. But Virchow made cellular p

Robert Hooke was the first person to describe cells in a tissue. In fact, what he saw using the microscope were not actual cells, but cell walls in a plant tissue (cork). \nHe called them cells because that's what they reminded him of, "pores" like the cells of a monastery. \nHe was also a significant researcher. \nSee more at this link:\nhttp://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/hooke.html
