Link to original article: Friedrich Daniel von Recklinghausen

Early Life

Recklinghausen was the son of Friedrich Christoph von Recklinghausen and Friederike Charlotte Zumwinkel (maiden name). His father was an elementary school teacher and a sexton. His mother died shortly after his birth in 1833. The Recklinghausens were a patrician family putting multiple councilors and mayors in their positions. He went to the elementary school where his father taught in Gütersloh. He then attended high school at Ratsgymnasium, Bielefeld.

Academic background

He studied medicine at the Universities of Bonn, Würzburg and Berlin, earning his doctorate at the latter institution in 1855. Afterwards he studied pathological anatomy under Rudolf Virchow, the father of modern pathology, and obtained his doctorate with Virchow as his advisor. He subsequently undertook an educational journey to Vienna, Rome, and Paris. From 1858 to 1864, Recklinghausen was an assistant at the Pathological Institute in Berlin. In 1864 he became the Professor of Pathological Anatomy at Königsberg before moving to Würzburg 6 months later. He remained a professor at Würzburg until 1872, when he was appointed Professor of General Pathology and Pathological Anatomy at Strassburg until 1906. Henceforth, he remained as a professor emeritus, continuing to teach and conduct research until his death in 1910. At Strassburg he helped to recruit a number of important people to the school, such as anatomist Wilhelm von Waldeyer-Hartz (1836-1921).

Contributions

In 1855 Recklinghausen wrote his inaugural thesis De pyaemiae theoriis, concerning differing theories on Pyaemia.

In 1882 he released a monograph that reviewed previous literature and characterized the tumors of neurofibromatosis type I or NF-1 as neurofibromas, consisting of an intense commingling of nerve cells and fibrous tissue. NF-1 is sometimes referred to as "von Recklinghausen syndrome".

In 1889 he coined the term "haemochromatosis", and was the first to provide the link between haemochromatosis and iron accumulation in body tissue. Recklinghausen published his findings in a treatise titled Hämochromatose (1889).

He is credited with establishing a method for staining lines of cell junctions with silver, a procedure that led to Julius Friedrich Cohnheim’s research on leukocyte migration and inflammation. In a monograph published posthumously in 1910, he coined the term oncosis (derived from ónkos, meaning swelling) in a monograph published posthumously. This term is sometimes used to describe Ischemic cell death. In addition, he is credited with performing important studies on the heart and circulation.

Peer Review

What does the draft do well?

I liked that you added the early life section. It provides some good background information.

Is there anything from the review that impressed me?

I think the academic background section provides good information that is completely on topic. If there is more to add to it though, I would because there is probably more that could be added.

What changes would I suggest the author apply to the article?

Maybe try to go into mor detail on his contributions. It just states what he did, and maybe say how it impacted his field.

What’s the most important improvement the author could make to the article?

Just adding more information wherever possible.

Thank you for your peer review. The early life section is an import from the German Wikipedia, and indeed provides much needed information. Most of our work, however, has been in the academic background section, but it is indeed correct that is more that can be added on his academic background. We will work towards adding as much as we can about this. We will also make sure to try and go into more detail about his contributions to his field. We have fairly limited English sources available but will endeavor to add as much information from them as we can. Mtv52 (talk) 15:34, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

The sources you utilized seemed to give you a very good understanding of your topic allowing you to have a very clear and detailed article. Changes I would suggest would possibly make the works section a little more clear. I slightly got lost and that might just be because it’s in German but it could be a possibility to link to more of the specific topics that he did to other wiki articles. Some other things you can do to improves this already fantastic article could be like I said before, links to other wiki pages if possible and maybe translate some of the stuff from German if that’s at all possible. I really like the structure of your entire article and I will most likely be incorporating that into my own article.

Thanks for reviewing our article. The written works has been something what we can change about it. We were thinking adding a little detail about each written work by Recklinghausen. That is a good idea to link those to the Wiki page if possible. A lot of his work has wiki pages that we can link to and are currently searching for those. The use of the German page for him has been very useful to help with structure as well as content. Although we aren’t perfect at translating German so we have to be careful as to what is correct through translation. All your suggestions has been very helpful.
