Prof John George AdamiCBEFRCPFRCSFRSFRSEMRCS (/əˈdæmi/;[1] 12 January 1862 – 29 August 1926) was an English pathologist. He was the head of the pathological department of the Royal Victoria Hospital. From 1892, he was professor of pathology in McGill University, Montreal, Canada. During World War I, he was accorded a temporary commission in the Canadian Army Medical Corps to serve as the official historian for the medical branch. Starting in 1919, he was the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Liverpool.
He was born in the Ashton upon Mersey district of south Manchester, England, the son of John George Adami, a local hotel proprietor, and his wife, Sarah Ann Ellis Leech.[2]
He was educated at Manchester Grammar School, Owens College in Manchester and then studied medicine at Christ's College, Cambridge,[2] with postgraduate study in both Breslau (then in Germany, now part of Poland) and Paris. He took distinguished honours at Cambridge in natural science, was Darwin prizeman in 1885, M.R.C.S., and was appointed demonstrator of physiology at Cambridge University in 1887.
During World War I he held a temporary commission in the Canadian Army Medical Corps and served on the staff of the overseas Director General Medical Services, London. His principal role was as Assistant Medical Director in charge of statistics and returns. He was also appointed Medical Historical Recorder, and in this capacity charged with compiling a contemporary account of the Canadian medical service during the war, the first volume of which was published in 1918 as The War Story of the Canadian Army Medical Corps, Vol. 1. The remainder of his work on this subject remains unpublished.[6] His wartime diary is held at the Welcome Library.[7] From 1919, he was Vice-Chancellor of University of Liverpool.[8]
He married Mary Stuart Cantlie in 1894 in Montreal. They had three children, of whom 2 survived. Widowed in 1916, he married in 1922 in Liverpool Marie Wilkinson, who outlived him.
Legacyedit
In 1903 Adami proposed two new terms that would be used to classify the neoplasms: lepidic (from λεπις, λεπιδος, meaning a rind, skin, or membrane), applied to characterise the tumors that appeared to be derived from connective tissues, and hylic (from ύΛη, meaning crude undifferentiated material) for tumors that appeared to be derived from connective tissues. In the present day the term lepidic defines the proliferation of tumor cells along the surface of intact alveolar walls without stromal or vascular invasion.[10]
