  • Max Joseph Oertel was a significant German physician who was a native of Dillingen. He practiced medicine in Munich, where he became a professor (extraordinary) in 1876. He is credited with being the first physician to use a laryngeal stroboscope for examination of the larynx. He combined a stroboscopic lamp with a laryngeal mirror in order to study "vocal movements" in different registers. Application of the strobe light allowed him to view the vibrating vocal cords in slow motion, thus enabling detailed views of the larynx in an open or closed position. Oertel also created several written works regarding cardiac, circulatory and obesity disorders, and was an early advocate of the "terrain cure", which is a set of therapeutic exercises that involve graduated hiking and climbing. Oertel made contributions in regards to the study of diphtheria by reproducing the disease in laboratory rabbits. However, he was unable to locate the aetiology of the disease. In 1883 the causative microbe Corynebacterium diphtheriae was discovered by Dr. Edwin Klebs (1834-1913).
  • Max Joseph Oertel war ein deutscher Arzt. Oertel wurde 1876 außerordentlicher Professor in München und ist hauptsächlich bekannt für eine Kurmethode gegen Fettsucht, insbesondere bei Herzbeteiligung. Diese Kur wurde anfänglich im größeren Ausmaß von Ernst Schweninger ausgeführt und erhielt deswegen fälschlicherweise die Bezeichnung "Schweningerkur". Oertel veröffentlichte die der Kur zu Grunde liegenden Erkenntnisse in Therapie der Kreislaufstörungen (1884).
