Английская Википедия:Harold Frost
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Harold M. Frost (1921 – 19 June 2004) was an American orthopedist and surgeon considered to be one of the most important researchers and theorists in the field of bone biology and bone medicine of his time.[1][2][3] He published nearly 500 peer-reviewed scientific and clinical articles and 16 books. According to the Science Citation Index, he is one of the most cited investigators in skeletal research.[1]
Life
He received his medical degree from Geisel School of Medicine and Feinberg School of Medicine in 1945. He then did his surgical internship in Worcester, Massachusetts. During this time he was Officer in the Naval Medical Corps from 1946 to 1948. He then did his residency in Orthopedic Surgery in Buffalo General and Children's Hospital in New York state from 1948 to 1953. In 1955, he became an Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Yale School of Medicine.
Frost moved to Detroit to take a position at Henry Ford Hospital. There he became the founder and Director of the Orthopedic Research Laboratory. He remained the director until 1973, having served as chairman of the department from 1966 until 1972.
During his time at the Henry Ford Hospital, Frost made many breakthroughs, which changed the paradigm of bone biology.
Frost moved to Pueblo, Colorado in 1973 — drawn by the mountains, climate, and lifestyle — bringing with him his international reputation as a dogged researcher, talented orthopaedist and prolific author. While there he continued his active participation at the Sun Valley Workshops where he interacted with participants to develop cancellous bone histomorphomety (1977), generate and refine the mechanostat hypothesis (1987), and the ever-evolving Utah Paradigm of Bone Physiology (1997).
Academic contributions
Dr. Harold M. Frost's main academic inputs include:[1]
- Development of Bone Histomorphometry for description of cellular based bone formation and Bone resorption processes
- the eleventh rip Biopsy used for diagnosis of metabolic Bone diseases
- Research on the multi-cellular unit as a key to bone metabolism
- the experimental proof that Estrogen reduces bone formation
- the histological proof of micro-damages in human bone biopsies
- the basic model of the adaptation of the Growth plate to mechanical stress
- the Utah-Paradigm of Bone physiology (Mechanostat-Theorem), an enhancement of Wolff's law stating that Bone adapts to mechanical stress and that hence there is a close link between muscle and bone
