Canadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal, 1956 Comroe and his associates in their very instructive and concise book on clinical physiology, entitled The Lung, said: “Tests of pulmonary function have proved of definite value both in diagnosis and in guiding therapy of patients with cardiopulmonary disorders.” I am sure that a larger utilization of these tests before operating on cardiopulmonary ...

Rheumatology, 2008 Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in SSc patients. In autopsy studies, up to 70% of the SSc patients show histological evidence of lung involvement. In surgical lung biopsies from SSc-ILD patients, a pattern of non-specific interstitial pneumonia is present in a majority ...
