AB Clinical,  scientific,  and  technologic  aspects  of  medicine  have  evolved  over  more  than  2000  years,  and  the  study  of  lung  function  and  pulmonary  diseases  has  been  an  integral  part  of  its  growth  and  development*.  About  3  centuries  ago,  progress  toward  scientific  medicine  accelerated  markedly,  and  it  has  continued  to  gain  speed  ever  since.  In  the  17th  century,  research  and  experimentation  began  to  tilt  clinical  medicine  toward  the  exact  sciences;  by  the  18th  century,  pathology  had  become  an  integral  part  of  clinical  medicine,  and  clinical–pathologic  correlations  succeeded  empiricism,  dogmatism,  and  metaphysics.  The  age  of  the  great  clinicians  dawned  in  Europe  in  the  early  19th  century,  when  autopsies  became  legal  and  socially  acceptable,  and  when  physicians  who  cared  for  patients  actually  performed  the  autopsies.
