Pulmonology

### Pulmonology Pulmonology is a science that studies the lungs and the respiratory system as a whole. It is one of the main disciplines in medicine and is closely related to other fields such as cardiology, gastroenterology and rheumatology. The lungs are an organ that provides breathing and gas exchange in the body. They are made up of many alveoli, which are tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs between air and blood. Pulmonology studies the pathological processes occurring in the lungs and respiratory tract, as well as methods for diagnosing and treating diseases associated with the lungs. Lung diseases can be caused by various factors such as smoking, air pollution, infections, allergies and genetic factors. Some of the most common lung diseases include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, tuberculosis and lung cancer. Various techniques are used to diagnose lung diseases, including x-rays, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and bronchoscopy. Treatment for lung disease may include medications, surgery, and rehabilitation. In conclusion, pulmonology is an important field of medicine that deals with the study of the lungs and the respiratory system as a whole. Lung diseases can have serious consequences on people's health, so early diagnosis and treatment of these diseases is important.

*The recent history of medicine indicates that it was intensive preventive measures that countered the wave of tobacco smoking that followed the wave of respiratory diseases*

The history of this disease goes back to ancient Greek times, when doctors first noted the relationship between diseases and lung diseases, and also conducted the first studies on diseases of the respiratory system. But a lot of time passed before the correct cause of the formation and development of lung diseases was determined. Only in the 16th century, the English physician Thomas Fraley became the first to consider the problems of pulmonology as scientific. However, only a century later, Nicolaas Rickkeep took a step forward, declaring himself the author of the first published book on lung health.
