Rudolf Kaltenbach

Rudolf Kaltenbach (12 May 1842 – 21 November 1893) was a German gynecologist who was a native of Freiburg im Breisgau.

Rudolf Kaltenbach (1842–1893)

In 1865 he earned his medical doctorate from the University of Vienna, and afterwards trained under Johann von Dumreicher (1815-1880) at the surgical hospital in Vienna. From 1867 to 1873 he was an assistant to Alfred Hegar (1830–1914) in Freiburg, and was later a professor of gynecology and obstetrics at the University of Giessen. In 1887 he became an OB/GYN professor at Halle, where he succeeded Robert Michaelis von Olshausen (1835–1915). Kaltenbach served in the military during the Austro-Prussian (on the Austrian side) and Franco-Prussian Wars.

Kaltenbach is remembered for his numerous medical publications, including a book on operative gynecology that he co-authored with Alfred Hegar.[1] He is credited with introducing a gynecological graphic aid involving menstruation cycles called the Kaltenbachschema (Kaltenbach chart).

Selected writings
  • Operative Gynäkologie (with Alfred Hegar) 1874 – operative gynaecology
  • Lehrbuch der Geburtshilfe, Stuttgart 1893 – textbook of obstetrics
gollark: The limiting factor here is probably your key thing. There are only 4 billion possibilities for that, which is easy.
gollark: So effectively you just have a mildly larger key.
gollark: So you *also* have to store a timestamp or something?
gollark: So it's a random 4-byte string?
gollark: That actually probably *would* put it in the range of practical bruteforceability, since there are only 4 billion possible 4-byte values and anything you're doing by hand can't be *that* slow to run on a computer.
