The pioneering German physician and microbiologist Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch (1843-1910) made pivotal contributions to the field of bacteriology, significantly advancing the germ theory of disease. His groundbreaking research in identifying the causative agents of anthrax, tuberculosis, and cholera revolutionized medical science and public health. Koch's development of essential microbiological techniques, such as using agar for bacterial cultures and introducing the Petri dish, transformed laboratory practices.

Edwin Chadwick (1800-1890) was a central figure in the 19th-century public health reform movement in Britain. His work was instrumental in the sanitary awakening, a movement that revolutionized public health through the systematic improvement of urban sanitation and hygiene. As a lawyer by training, Chadwick was deeply influenced by Jeremy Bentham's welfare maximization theory, which emphasized the greatest good for the greatest number.

Article Synopsis
- In 1824, Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot published a book that initially received little attention, leading to a series of personal hardships and his untimely death at the age of 36.
- Despite his obscurity during his lifetime, Carnot's ideas later became foundational in the development of the first and second laws of Thermodynamics, influencing the field significantly over the past two centuries.
- The article discusses how modern scientists have both praised and critiqued these laws, particularly the second law, and suggests a new integration of Thermodynamics with Causal Modeling.

Background: Explanations for the genesis and propagation of cholera pandemics since 1817 have remained elusive. Evolutionary pathogen change is presumed to have been a dominant factor behind the 7th "El Tor" pandemic, but little is known to support this hypothesis for preceding pandemics. The role of anomalous climate in facilitating strain replacements has never been assessed.
