Alfred Goldscheider

Alfred Goldscheider (John Charles Augustus Eugene Alfred Goldscheider; * August 4, 1858 in Sommerfeld, today Lubsko, at Crossen / Oder in Lower Lusatia, † April 10, 1935 in Berlin) was a German physician ( internist neurologist ).

Goldscheider studied at the Friedrich- Wilhelm -Institut ( Pépinière ) in Berlin, received his doctorate in 1881 and then worked as a military doctor. During this time he was also an assistant to Emil du Bois- Reymond. In 1891 he qualified as a professor of internal medicine and was appointed in 1894 for directing physician at the City Hospital Moabit. At the University of Berlin in 1895, he received the title of professor. In 1898 he was appointed Associate Professor and in 1907 to the ordinary honorary professor.

He led from 1906 to 1910 the Virchow Hospital. In 1910 he took over the management of the Clinical Poli University Institute, 1911, III. medical clinic was converted, after Goldscheider the appointment as full professor received (1926 emeritus).

Goldscheider worked mainly on the somatosensory system, especially on thermal receptors. In the late 1890s he studied together with the neurologist Edward Flatau the structure of nerve cells and their changes under different stimuli, but also emerged in almost all fields of internal medicine; with Ernst von Leyden, he laid the foundations of today's physical therapy. As a Gold disc Dersche disease ( Köbnersche disease ) refers to the epidermolysis bullosa hereditaria. According to him, the Goldscheider percussion, the threshold percussion is used to study the apices of the lungs, named. Goldscheider also described various skin diseases.
