An exhaustively comprehensive, detailed, and well-established survey of all environmental, anatomic, physiologic, and biochemical factors that control and affect the respiratory functions of the lungs and the pulmonary circulation. The scope covers both normal functions and their changes with disease. Pulmonary dysfunction and disease and treatments applied in pulmonary medicine are considered almost solely from an analytical perspective. Readers who need guidance in diagnostic and therapeutic problems must consult textbooks of pulmonary medicine; this monograph will serve effectively as a detailed supplement to them.
