About Carl Friedrich Haase
- Carl Friedrich Haase, name sometimes spelled as Karl Friedrich Haase (13 February 1788, Leipzig – 10 November 1865, Ober-Lössnitz near Dresden) was a German obstetrician. In 1813 he obtained his medical doctorate from the University of Leipzig with the thesis Dissertatio de morbo coeruleao.
- In 1828 he was appointed professor of obstetrics and director of the maternity clinic at the medical-surgical academy in Dresden. His name is associated with the "Haase rule", a formula for suggesting the age of a human fetus or newborn from its length (fetal length in centimeters during the first 3 to 5 months of pregnancy correlates to the square of the age in months, and during the second half of pregnancy the age in months is multiplied by 5).
- It is also referred to as "Haase's formula" (Haase-Formel).With Johann Ludwig Choulant (1791–1861) and others, he was co-author of Bereicherungen für die Geburtshilfe, für die Physiologie und Pathologie des Weibes und Kindes (Enrichment for obstetrics, on the physiology and pathology of women and children).
- In 1846 with obstetrician Woldemar Ludwig Grenser (1812–1872), he successfully treated future writer Karl May (1842–1912) for visual impairment.
