The Collaboration of Antoine and Marie-Anne Lavoisier and the First Measurements of Human Oxygen Coy, in part because of his book .. In addition he was a major figure in respiratory physiology being the first person to recognize the true nature of oxygen, elucidating the similarities between respiration and combustion, and making the first measurements of human oxygen consumption under various co

,Henry Cavendish (1731–1810): Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Weighing the World,ade important discoveries concerning hydrogen, carbon dioxide, atmospheric air, and water. Hydrogen had been prepared earlier by Boyle but its properties had not been recognized and Cavendish described these in detail including the density of the gas. Carbon dioxide had also previously been studied

Humphry Davy, Nitrous Oxide, the Pneumatic Institution, and the Royal Institution,rly work signaled the end of an era of discovery. The previous 40 years had seen essentially all of the important respiratory gases described and the Institution was formed to exploit their possible value in medical treatment. Davy himself is well known for producing nitrous oxide and demonstrating

Alexander M. Kellas and the Physiological Challenge of Mt. Everest, of extreme altitudes, but his physiological contributions have been almost completely overlooked. Although he had a full-time faculty position at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School in London, he was able to make eight expeditions to the Himalayas in the first two decades of the century, and by 1

Ravenhill and His Contributions to Mountain Sickness,dmark paper in 1913 that included the classification of high-altitude sickness that is still in use, and it also contained the first accurate descriptions of high-altitude pulmonary edema and high-altitude cerebral edema, although he used different terms. The work was done while he was medical offic

George I. Finch and His Pioneering Use of Oxygen for Climbing at Extreme Altitudes,ring the 1922 Everest expedition when he and his companion, Geoffrey Bruce, reached an altitude of 8320 m, higher than any human had climbed before. Finch was well qualified to develop the oxygen equipment because he was an eminent physical chemist. Many of the features of the 1922 design are still

The volume covers every aspect of the evolution of this important area of knowledge: pulmonary circulation, Boyle’s Law, pulmonary capillaries and alveoli, morphology, gas exchange and blood fl
