In 1861, Zenker first discovered fat embolism (FES), after he found pulmonary capillary fat deposition in a patient who suffered from crush injury.
In 1873, Bergmann described the first clinical case of FES in a patient who suffered a distal femur fracture.
In 1875, Czerny explored cerebral symptoms associated with FES.

In [year], [diagnostic test/therapy] was developed by [scientist] to treat/diagnose [disease name].
