Pamtimo ga takoðer kaovrhunskoga uèitelja brojnih generacija, umjetnika i prije svegaskromnoga i samozatajnoga èovjeka, a o životu i djelu akademi-ka Grèeviæa govorit æe akademkinja Jelena Krmpotiæ-Nemaniæ iprof. dr. Ante Zimolo. Na kraju zahvaljujem se akademkinjiKrmpotiæ i prof. Zimolu na sudjelovanju. Isto tako zahvaljujemse svima vama na dolasku ovom komemorativnom sastanku.""Akademik Nenad Grèeviæ, naš dragi Neno napustio nas je zau-vijek 29. veljaèe 2004. godine. Otišao je tiho i samozatajno. Ža-limo da ga prema njegovoj želji nismo mogli ispratiti na vjeènipoèinak.Uvijek æe nam zvoniti u ušima njegove dirljive lirske melodije irijeèi. "Ta tvoja ruka mala" ostat æe simbol za Nenu Grèeviæa.132In memoriamMed Vjesn 2005; 37(1-4): 131-135U svom plodnom životu obogatio je i glazbu i medicinu pa æeostati u vjeènoj uspomeni i medicinarima i glazbenicima.Nenad Grèeviæ roðen je u Zagrebu 1922. godine. U Zagrebu jezavršio i školovanje i promoviran je na zagrebaèkom Medicin-skom fakultetu 1947. godine. Kao odlièan student  bio je nekovrijeme demonstrator kod profesora Peroviæa, ali se vrlo brzoopredijelio za patološku anatomiju pa je nastavio s radom kodprofesora Saltykova. Godine 1951. položio je specijalistièki ispitiz patološke anatomije.Nakon završene specijalizacije poèeo se s velikim oduševlje-njem baviti neuropatologijom. Godine 1952. uz pristanak svogatadašnjeg šefa osnovao je laboratorij za neuropatologiju pri neu-rokirurško-neuropsihijatrijskoj klinici na Rebru. Uveo je intra-operativne biopsije, kriostatsku tehniku i tehniku impregnacije.Organizirao je klinièko-patološke konferencije ostvarujuæi takointerdisciplinarnost srodnih struka.Uz struèni i nastavni rad bavio se intenzivno i znanstvenimradom. Bio je izvrstan govornik i predavaè tako da su ga studentipozorno slušali.Njegov znanstveni rad obuhvaæa pet glavnih podruèja. Prvo:intrakranijalni tumori gdje su obuhvaæeni tumori mozga iživèanoga tkiva. Tu spada i monografija "Patologija i biologijasa prijedlogom nove klasifikacije". Znaèajni su radovi o cere-bralnim astrocitomima i o Rosenthalovim vlaknima u tumorima.Druga grupa obuhvaæa radove o bolestima središnjega živèanogsustava koje su posljedica genetskih i embrionalnih èinitelja.Treba istaknuti rad o koncentriènoj leukoencefalopatiji,verukoznoj displaziji, akutnoj porfiriji i Spatz-Hallerwordenovojbolesti.Treæe podruèje obuhvaæa upalne promjene u središnjemživèanom sustavu:  eksperimentalni virusni encefalitis, subakut-ni sklerozirajuæi leukoencefalitis, akutnu diseminirajuæuaspergilozu, histologiju eksperimentalnoga krpeljnog encefaliti-sa.U èetvrtoj grupi obradio je zatvorene cerebralne traume.Obraðene su pravilnosti i distribucija lezija koje objašnjavajudinamiku primarnih i sekundarnih ošteæenja kao i morfološkisupstrat posttraumatskih komatoznih, prolongiranih komatoznihi apatièkih stanja.U petoj su grupi kazuistièki sluèajevi i struèni tekstovi.Od osobitih dostignuæa, da samo neke navedemo, ustanovio jeklasifikaciju intrakranijalnih tumora koja je nazvana "Klasi-fikacija Zagrebaèke škole". Nadalje, treba istaknuti "Neu-roimaging metode" koju je on primijenio i pokrenuo Znanstvenuskupinu za neuroimaging Svjetske neurološke federacije. Tom jemetodom ostvarena korelacija neuropatološke morfologije smorfologijom patoloških procesa u živom èovjeku.Nenad Grèeviæ je kao perspektivni znanstvenik i pedagog imaouspješnu karijeru. Nakon habilitacije 1957. godine, docenture1960. godine, izvanredne profesure 1964. godine, postaje 1969.godine redoviti profesor Medicinskoga fakulteta i radi na Rebrugdje je njegov neuropatološki laboratorij prerastao u Neurološkiodjel. Godine 1966. izabran je za izvanrednoga, a 1983. godineza redovitoga èlana Jugoslavenske akademije znanosti i umjet-nosti, danas Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti. Godine1987. otišao je u mirovinu, ali je i dalje ostao aktivan u svojojstruci.Profesor Grèeviæ je ostvario integriranu nastavu iz neurologije,neuropatologije i neurokirurgije kao vertikalni oblik organizaci-je nastave na Medicinskom fakultetu u Zagrebu. Mnogi su pozi-tivno ocijenili tu koncepciju pa je primijenjena i na drugim svjet-skim medicinskim fakultetima.Znanstveno usavršavanje zapoèeo je veæ u National HospitalQueen Square u Londonu (1954. do 1955.), kao i u Neuropa-tološkom laboratoriju u Manchesteru (1955. do 1956.). NaSveuèilištu u Michiganu (Ann Arbor) radi od 1958. do 1959.godine, zatim u Bostonu na Harwardu (Harward Medical Schoolod 1959. do 1960.)Profesor Grèeviæ bio je gost na mnogim europskim i amerièkimsveuèilištima i sudjelovao je u dodiplomskoj i poslijediplomskojnastavi: na Neurološkoj klinici Sveuèilišta u Marburg/Lahn uljetnim semestrima 1963. - 1968. godine, zatim na Klinici zaneuropatologiju u Innsbrucku 1980. - 1990. godine, na Klinici zaneuropatologiju (University of Missisipi) 1968. i 1970. godine,u neuropatološkom i neurotoksikološkom laboratoriju (Colum-bia University, New York) 1984. godine. Bio je 1968. - 1999.godine znanstveni suradnik Neuropsihijatrijskoga instituta uAnn Arboru (University of Michigan). Sudjelovao je u organi-zaciji mnogih internacionalnih kongresa. Bio je èlan mnogihstruènih i znanstvenih društava, organizator  i predavaè na svjet-skim kongresima s temom "Neuroimaging".30 godina bio je èlan, a 22 godine glavni tajnik Znanstvenegrupe za neuropatologiju Svjetske Federacije za neurologiju. Bioje doživotni predsjednik Hrvatskoga društva za neuropatologiju,èlan amerièkoga, njemaèkoga i austrijskoga društva za neuropa-tologiju, odnosno neurologiju.Radio je na više znanstvenih projekata od kojih treba istaknutiprojekt Nacionalnoga instituta u Bethesdi pod naslovom "Korel-ativna patologija traume mozga akceleracijskoga tipa".Autor je oko 200 radova u knjigama i èasopisima.Godine 1975. dobio je nagradu "Pavao Æulumoviæ", odlikovanje ordenom zasluga za narod sa srebrnom zvijezdom. 1979.godine dobio je nagradu "Ruðer Boškoviæ", 1991. Republièkunagradu za životno djelo. 1997. godine postao je laureatHrvatske akademije medicinskih znanosti.Drugi životni poziv koji je Nenad Grèeviæ zdušno slijedio veæ odmladosti bila je glazba i komponiranje. Veæ u osnovnoj školizapoèeo je s glazbenom naobrazbom. Izabrao je zabavnu glazbui jazz. Osim glasovira koji je svirao kao djeèak, nauèio je sviratii trubu. Od 1938. godine bio je èlan, a od 1939. do 1941. godinevoða plesnoga i jazz orkestra "The Devils". Njegove su kom-pozicije izvoðene i nagraðivane. Bitno je meðutim to da su senjegovi šlageri pjevali i svirali dugi niz godina uvijek uz jednakooduševljenje slušatelja.133In memoriamMed Vjesn 2005; 37(1-4): 131-135Velika je šteta da je prekinuo svoju glazbenu karijeru, jer mislimda bi mnogi još uvijek rado èuli i pjevušili njegove šlagere.Nenad Grèeviæ bio je umjetnik, pjesnik i glazbenik. Pjesme sumu nježne, lirske. Bio je vrlo povezan sa svojom suprugom papjeva "Život moj povezan je uz život tvoj". Potkraj života postaoje tužan i sentimentalan spominjuæi posljednje lišæe koje s granapada na tlo, sumorno nebo i oblake teške tamne - kao ljeto i mla-dost sve polako umire. Proroèanski pjeva - tako plove mojeèežnje u daleki kraj preko gora preko mora, tako lete moje misliu daleki onaj dom gdje još netko nosi mene u srcu svom. DragiNeno, zaista si nam ostao u mislima i srcu. Neæemo te zabora-viti.Dragi Neno, hvala Ti na svemu!"Akademkinja Jelena Krmpotiæ-Nemaniæ134In memoriamMed Vjesn 2005; 37(1-4): 131-135On the 10th of March, 2005 in the Palace of the Croatian Acad-emy of Sciences and Arts the Department of Medical Sciences ofthe Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts organized Com-memorative ceremony in memory of its deceased full memberAcademician Nenad Grèeviæ.The Commemorative ceremony was opened by the Secretary ofthe Department of Medical Sciences Academician ZvonkoKusiæ:"Respected Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen Academicians,respected Family Grèeviæ, Ladies and Gentlemen, we have gath-ered here today at this Commemorative ceremony in memory ofour full member on the occasion of the first sad anniversary ofdeath of Nenad Grèeviæ, a genuine scientist who left a profoundimprint in the Croatian medical science. We remember him as anexcellent teacher of many generations, an artist and above allmodest and self-sacrificing man. Academician Jelena Krmpotiæ-Nemaniæ and Professor Ante Zimolo will present the life andwork of Academician Grèeviæ.  In the end let me express myappreciation to Academician Krmpotiæ and Professor Zimolo fortheir participation. In the same way, let me thank you all forattending this Commemorative ceremony.""Academician Nenad Grèeviæ, our dear Neno, left us forever onFebruary, the 29th, 2004. He left quietly and self-denyingly. Weare very sorry that, according to his wish, we weren't able toaccompany him to his final rest.His moving lyric melodies and words will always ring in ourears. "Ta tvoja ruka mala" will remain a symbol for Neno Grèe-viæ.During his productive life he enriched both music and medicine;therefore, he is sure to stay in everlasting memories of both themedical personnel and the musicians.Nenad Grèeviæ was born in Zagreb in the year 1922. In Zagrebhe finished his education and graduated from the Faculty ofMedicine in 1947. As an excellent student, he was undergradu-ate assistant for Professor Peroviæ for a certain period of time,but very soon did he opt for pathological anatomy and thereforecontinued his work at Professor Saltykov's. In the year 1951 hespecialized in pathological anatomy.After he had finished his specialization, he engaged in neu-ropathology with great enthusiasm. With the consent of his con-temporary department head, he founded the Laboratory for Neu-ropathology at the Clinic for Neurosurgery and Neuropsychiatryin Rebro Hospital. He introduced intraoperative biopsies, cryo-static technique and impregnation technique. He organized clin-ical and pathological conferences, accomplishing in that wayinterdisciplinary character of related professions.Along with his professional and teaching work, he intensivelyengaged in scientific work. He was a great public speaker andlecturer, so that the students always listen to him attentively. His scientific work encompasses five major fields. The first oneis: intracranial tumours, which comprise brain tumours andnerve tissue tumours. In that field belongs also a monograph"Pathology and Biology with the Proposal for New Classifica-tion". Significant are also his papers on cerebral astrocytomasand on Rosenthal tumour fibres.The second group comprises papers on central nervous systemdiseases, which are the consequence of genetic and embryonalfactors. Papers that should be highlighted are the one on con-centric leukoencephalopathy, verrucous displasia, acute por-phyria and Spatz-Hallerworden disease.The third field encompasses inflammatory alterations in the cen-tral nervous system: experimental viral encephalitis, subacutesclerotizing leukoencephalitis, acute disseminated aspergillosis,histology of experimental tick-borne encephalitis.In the fourth group he dealt with closed cerebral traumas. Heanalyzed regularities and distribution of lesions which accountfor dynamics of primary and secondary damages, as well as mor-phologic substrate of posttraumatic comatose, prolonged coma-tose and apathic conditions.In the fifth group there are casuistics and professional papers.To mention just a few of his special achievements, we must pointout the fact that he established classification of intracranialtumours under the title "Zagreb School Classification". Furtheron, we must emphasize "The Neuroimaging Methods" which heput into use and started Scientific Group for Neuroimaging ofthe World Federation of Neurology. With this method a correla-tion is achieved between neuropathological morphology andmorphology of pathological processes in living human being.Nenad Grèeviæ has a very successful career as a promising sci-entist and educator. After his defense of doctoral dissertation in1957, he was elected Assistant Professor in 1960, Associate Pro-fessor in 1964, and in the year 1969 he was elected Full Profes-sor at the Faculty of Medicine and worked at Rebro where hisLaboratory for Neuropathology has grown into Department ofNeurology. In the year 1966 he was elected associate memberand in 1983 -full-time member of the Yugoslav Academy ofSciences and Arts (today: Croatian Academy of Sciences andArts). In the year 1987 he was retired, but remained active in hisbranch. Professor Grèeviæ accomplished integrated tuition in neurology,neuropathology and neurosurgery as a vertical form of teachingorganization at the Faculty of Medicine in Zagreb. Many expertsAcademician Nenad Grèeviæ1922 - 2004In Memoriam135In memoriamMed Vjesn 2005; 37(1-4): 135-135rated favourably this concept, and it was also applied at otherworld faculties of medicine.He started with his scientific training in the National HospitalQueen Square in Londonu (1954-1955), as well as in Neu-ropathological Laboratory in Manchester (1955-1956). At theUniversity of Michigan (Ann Arbor) he worked from 1958 to1959, and then at Harvard in Boston (Harvard Medical Schoolfrom 1959 to 1960).Professor Grèeviæ was visiting professor at many European andworld universities, where he participated in both graduate andpostgraduate studies: at the Clinic for Neurology of the Univer-sity in Marburg/Lahn in the summer semesters 1963-1968, thenat the Clinic for Neuropathology in Innsbruck 1980-1990, at theClinic for Neuropathology (University of Mississippi) in theyears 1968 and 1970, in the Laboratories for Neuropathologyand Neurotoxicology (Columbia University, New York) in 1984.In the time period from 1968-1999 he was a scientific associateof the Institute for Neuropsychiatry in Ann Arbor (University ofMichigan). Professor Grèeviæ participated in the organization ofmany international congresses. He was a member of many pro-fessional and scientific associations, organizer and lecturer atmany world congresses with the topic "Neuroimaging". For 30 years he was a member, and for 22 years Secretary Gen-eral of the Scientific Group for Neuropathology of the WorldFederation for Neurology. He was a lifelong President of theCroatian Society of Neuropathology, he was a member of theAmerican, German and Austrian Society for Neuropathology,i.e. Neurology. Professor Grèeviæ worked on many scientific projects, out whichone should be specially pointed out - the project of the NationalInstitute in Bethesda under the title "Correlative Pathology ofBrain Trauma of the Acceleration Type" ("Korelativna patologi-ja traume mozga akceleracijskoga tipa".)He was the author of about 200 papers in books and journals.In the year 1975 he got "Pavao Æulumoviæ" Award, and he alsogot the medal " Orden zasluga za narod sa srebrnom zvijezdom".In the year 1979 he recieved "Ruðer Boškoviæ" Award, in 1991Republic Life Achievement Award. In the year 1997 he becamelaureate of the Croatian Academy of Medical Sciences. The second life vocation Nenad Grèeviæ wholeheartedly fol-lowed from his early youth was music and composing. Even asearly as elementary school he started with his music education.He chose modern music and jazz. Along with the piano heplayed as a boy, he also learned to play the trumpet. Since theyear 1938 he was a member, and from 1939 to 1941 the leaderof the dance and jazz orchestra "The Devils". His compositionswere very often performed and awarded. It is important to stressthat his hit songs (evergreens) were being sung and played formany years and always with the same enthusiasm of the listen-ers. It is a great pity that he ended his music career, because it is myopinion that there are still people who would gladly listen andsing softly his hit songs (evergreens).Nenad Grèeviæ was an artists, poet and musician. His songs weregentle, written in a lyrical manner. He was deeply connectedwith his wife, so he sings: "My life is connected with your life".At the end of his life he became sad and sentimental, mentioningthe last leaves falling from branches to the ground, leaden skyand dark heavy clouds - just like the summer and youth every-thing dies slowly. He sings prophetically - and so drift my long-ings to the faraway parts across the mountains and sea, and so flymy thoughts to the faraway home where there is still someonewho carries me in his heart. Dear Neno, you have really stayedin our thoughts and hearts. We will never forget you.Dear Neno, thank You for everything!"  Academician Jelena Krmpotiæ-Nemaniæ
