Louis Pasteur discovered many discoveries that advanced bacteriology. He made pasteurization and vaccinations. Pasteurization was made when Emperor Napoleon asked Louis Pasteur to examine diseases in wine. Pasteur showed that by heating wine at a certain temperature‚ the bacteria in the wine would die. Pasteurization was formed. The process was used to kill other bacteria in other liquids‚ like in milk and beer. He discovered vaccinations when he researched the rabies. He could

1796‚ and his methods underwent modifications over the following 200 years‚ which eventually resulted in the eradication of smallpox. Louis Pasteur’s 1885 rabies vaccine was the next to make an impact on human disease‚ which led to the dawn of bacteriology (the study of bacteria). Antitoxins and vaccines against diphtheria‚ tetanus‚ anthrax‚ cholera‚ plague‚ typhoid‚ tuberculosis‚ and more were developed through the 1930s. The middle of the 20th century was a very significant time for vaccine research

The Development of Ancient Systems of Writing in Iraq and Egypt Ancient systems of writing in the Middle East arose when people needed a method for remembering important information. In both Ancient Iraq and Ancient Egypt each of the stages of writing‚ from pictograms to ideograms to phonetograms‚ evolved as a response to the need to express more complex ideas. Satisfaction of this need gave us the two most famous forms of ancient writing‚ cuneiform from ancient Iraq‚ and hieroglyphics from

the Civil War‚ most people thought the war would only last a few weeks or months‚ so not much effort was put into recruiting doctors or surgeons. The surgeons that were recruited did not have formal training in medicine. They knew little about bacteriology and were ignorant of what caused the killer diseases. Most Civil War surgeons had never treated a gun shot wound or had actually performed surgery. They typically had two years of schooling‚ with only bookwork in the first year. The second year
