File Carl Siegmund Franz Cred .png thumb Carl Siegmund Franz Cred Carl Siegmund Franz Cred 23 December 1819 14 March 1892 was a German gynecologist and obstetrician who was a native of Berlin . In 1842 he received his doctorate from the University of Berlin . In 1852 he became director of the Berlin School of Midwives and chief physician of the maternity division at the Berlin Charit . Later he was appointed professor of obstetrics and director of the maternity hospital in Leipzig . In Berlin and Leipzig, Cred established out patient gynecology clinics. Cred was father in law to gynecologist Christian Gerhard Leopold 1846 1912 . Carl Cred is famous for introducing the use of silver nitrate eyedrops as an antiseptic for the prevention of ophthalmia neonatorum in newborns. He used a 2 silver nitrate solution, and first demonstrated its effectiveness in the early 1880s. During a three year period, Cred treated 1160 newborns with silver nitrate, and only two infants developed ophthalmia. The silver nitrate solution is sometimes referred to as Cred s prophylaxis in medical literature. Later, the solution was diluted to 1 silver nitrate, and became a standard practice in obstetrics. Cred is also credited for implementing a procedure to hasten delivery of the placenta during the third stage of labor. With Dr. Leopold, he co authored Clinical Lectures on Midwifery , which was later translated into English.

Ilyas was a member of the Samanid army and was of Sogdiana Sogdian origin. He supported the failed 929 coup against the Samanid amir Nasr II of Samanid Nasr b. Ahmad . After the rebellion failed he fled south, eventually arriving at Kerman in 932 . He managed to extend his control over the northern part of the province, while the southern and eastern mountainous portions remained under the control of the local Bilus and Qufs. Despite Samanid and later Buyid attempts to expel him from Kerman, he succeeded in maintaining his rule there for over thirty years. He acknowledged either the Samanids or the Buyids as his overlords but was effectively independent. In 967 he suffered a stroke and was eventually compelled to abdicate in favor of his son Ilyasa. Ilyasa b. Muhammad Ilyasa b. Muhammad quickly angered the neighboring Buyids under Adud al Daula by arguing over some territory on the border of Kerman and Fars Province Fars . Before invading Kerman, Adud made sure to win over members of Ilyasa s army. This strategy was effective when he did invade and capture Bardasir, the bulk of Ilyasa s army deserted him. Control of Kerman was transferred nominally to Adud s son Sharaf al Daula Abu l Fawaris Shirzil , while Adud s general Gorgir Kurkir was given real control. Ilyasa fled to Bukhara , where the Samanids welcomed him, but he aroused their hostility by complaining that they would not help him retake Kerman.
