About this Item

Hdb. Haut-Geschlechtskr. - Berlin, J.Springer, 1932, 8°, VII, 468 pp., 158 z.T. farb. Abbildungen, Halbleinenband. Julius K. Mayr: Die Erkrankungen der Schweißdrüen (pp.3-47, 12 Abb.); Robert O. Stein: Die Erkrankungen der Talgdrüsen (pp.48-128, 39 Abb.); Eugen Galewsky: Erkrankungen der Haare und des Haarbodens (pp.129-453, 107 Abb.). Eugen Galewsky (1864-1935) belonged to great group of students of Albert Neisser from Breslau/Wroclaw. He worked as a dermatologic practitioner in Dresden from 1891 to his death 1935 in Dresden. He created a great scientific work with books, articles in textbooks, and 100 papers in the leading dermatologic journals. The skin diseases during childhood and the trichopathies were his main topics. Galewsky's greatest merit was his combat against venereal diseases. Eugen Galewsky introduced 1,8-dihydroxyanthrone for therapy of psoriasis. He intended to substitute Chrysarobin, a synthetic product, which causes strong discouloring and irritation of skin. In 1916 the firm Farbenfabrik Bayer, Leverkusen, obtained a patent for synthesis of 1,8 dihydroxyanthrone by an inexpensive method. There is a reason to believe that the brother of Eugen Galewsky, the chemist Paul Galewsky, was a coworker of the Farbenfabrik Bayer and that he recommended his brother Eugen test Cignolin. Eugen Galewsky published the first article on the practical experiences by Cignolin in the journal Dermatologische Wochenschrift in 1916. His priority is proved because his paper was published before the article by Paul Gerson Unna on the same topic. Even now Cignolin is still used in the treatment of psoriasis.
