An endocrine disorder first described by the British Physician Thomas Addison in the mid 1800 s. The adrenal glands fail to produce sufficient amounts of glucocorticoid hormones (cortisol) and sometime mineralocorticoid (aldosterone). If left untreated it is life-threatening, the patient will show muscle weakness, hyperpigmentation and even depression. Typical treatment is hydrocortisone replacement therapy.

Named after Thomas Addison who first described the clinical condition in the mid 1850s, Addison s disease is one of the commonest endocrinopathies. At one time, most cases of Addison s were due to infection, usually by tuberculosis, of the adrenal cortex but nowadays the likely cause is autoimmune destruction of the tissue, and may be associated with dysfunction of other endocrine glands.

In 1855, Dr Thomas Addison, assisted in his observations by three colleagues, published his famous monograph On the constitutional effects of disease on the suprarenal capsules (Addison s disease). It was not until the late 1920s that the vital importance of the adrenal cortex was appreciated and the distinction between the hormones secreted by the cortex and medulla. 

Thomas Addison first reported on hypofunction of the adrenal cortex in 1855. However, it has only been in the last 60 years that many of the disease states that are associated with abnormal adrenal function have been discovered and studied. In general, diseases of this organ are classified as resulting from either hypofunction or hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex.

The oscillating jet method provides dynamic surface tensions in a time interval from 3 ms-50 ms and has been used by many authors (for example Bohr 1909, Addison 1943, 1944, 1945, Rideal Sutherland 1952, Defay Hommelen 1958, Thomas Potter 1975a, b, Fainerman et al. 1993a, Miller et al. 1994d). 

If insulin revolutionized diabetes mellitus treatment, cortisone discovery was another revolution in inflammatory and arthritis management. The discovery of corticosteroids as a therapeutic can be linked to Thomas Addison (1793-1860), who made the connection between the adrenal glands and the rare Addison s disease in 1855.Edward C, Kendall (1886-1972) at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, USA) and Tadeus Reichstein (1897 -1996) at the University of Basel (Switzerland) independently isolated several hormones from the adrenal cortex. In 1948, Kendall and Philip S. Hench (1896-1965) demonstrated the successful treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis using cortisone. Kendall, Reichstein, and Hench were awarded the 1950 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for determining the structure and biological effects of adrenal cortex hormones. 

Addison s disease was named after Thomas Addison. In 1855, Addison described a syndrome in which the physiologic significance of the adrenal cortex was emphasized (11). This disease Is characterized by extreme...

In 1868, Thomas Addison, described a similar patient For the last month he had had attacks of dizziness and dimness of sight, accompanied by a peculiar pain in the back of the head and loss of consciousness. These attacks would always occur when in the standing position and were instantly relieved by sitting or lying down. ... 

Castle knew that the acid- and pepsin-secreting part of the stomach in patients with pernicious anemia had atrophied. In the year Thomas Addison published his distinction between idiopathic anemia and the anemia of adrenal insufficiency, Charles Handheld Jones of St. Mary s Hospital wrote that no trace of the gastric tubules was to be seen in the stomach of a patient who had died of profound ane-mia. " Five years later, Samuel Fenwick of London Hospital cited Handheld Jones when he reported the results of an autopsy he performed on a patient who had died of what Fenwick clearly understood was the unremitting form of anemia described by Addison. Fenwick made certain that the patient did not have the characteristic pigmentation of adrenal insufficiency, and at autopsy he found the adrenal glands unaffected. In the same year, Arnold Cahn and Joseph von Mering, working in... 

Pernicious anaemia was first described by James Combe in 1824. Thomas Addison described in detail the disease in 1849, although he posited some connection with the adrenal gland. No significant progress had been made until in 1897, when F. Martins and O. von Lubarsch reported an association of pernicious anaemia with achlorhydria. Thereafter, more attention was paid to the role of gastric function in the pathogenesis of the anaemia.

HISTORY. For 77 years (from 1849 to 1926) following the description of pernicious anemia by Thomas Addison of England, there was no hope for victims of the disease. Finally, step by step, scientists evolved with the treatment for Addisonian pernicious anemia and the discovery of vitamin B-12, a chronological record of which follows ...
