The study of pathology in fetuses, infants, and children had its beginnings in the mid-19th century. Now, 165 years later, hundreds of pediatric pathologists are in up-to-date practices throughout the world. They, and all medical practitioners, are just beginning to delve into the nanotechnical wave. Nanotechnology refers to the structure and activity of minute particles, molecules, compounds, and atoms. By 2050, as nanotechnical studies develop further, new diseases and variations of old diseases will be discovered. Aggregation of medical data from billions of people, a process known as crowd sourcing, will be digitally interconnected to the new findings with computers. Pediatric pathologists will contribute to this expanding science with new laboratory instruments, including ultramodern microscopes known as Omniscopes. Robots will be programmed to perform autopsies and process surgical specimens. Analyzers in chemistry, microbiology, hematology, and genetics will, in 2050, produce dozens or even hundreds of results within minutes. These advances will lead to better treatments and overall better health for everyone.
胎儿、婴儿及儿童病理学的研究始于19世纪中叶。如今，165年过去了，全球数百名儿科病理学家都采用了最新的诊疗方法。他们以及所有医学从业者才刚刚开始深入研究纳米技术浪潮。纳米技术是指微小颗粒、分子、化合物及原子的结构与活性。到2050年，随着纳米技术研究的进一步发展，将会发现新的疾病以及旧病的变异。来自数十亿人的医学数据汇总，即众包过程，将通过计算机与新发现进行数字互联。儿科病理学家将借助新的实验室仪器，包括名为全视显微镜的超现代显微镜，为这一不断发展的科学做出贡献。机器人将被编程来进行尸检和处理手术标本。到2050年，化学、微生物学、血液学和遗传学分析仪将在几分钟内产生几十甚至上百个结果。这些进步将为每个人带来更好的治疗和整体更健康的状况。
