A course of seven video lectures on pulmonary pathophysiology has been placed on the internet. This is a companion to the course on respiratory physiology available at http://meded.ucsd.edu/ifp/jwest/. That course dealt with normal respiratory physiology, and the new lectures are about the function of the diseased lung. The topics covered include pulmonary function tests, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and localized airway obstruction, restrictive lung diseases, pulmonary vascular diseases, environmental or industrial lung diseases (with a short section on neoplastic and infectious diseases), and respiratory failure. Although it could be argued that PhD physiologists do not have a responsibility for teaching pathophysiology, collaborative teaching has become increasingly common in medical schools where, for example, a pulmonary block includes both normal respiratory physiology and some pulmonary pathophysiology. It is hoped that these lectures will be useful to physiologists in that setting.
已经在互联网上发布了七堂关于肺病理生理学的视频讲座课程。这是可在 http://meded.ucsd.edu/ifp/jwest/ 获得的呼吸生理学课程的配套课程。该课程涉及正常呼吸生理学，而新的讲座则是关于患病肺部的功能。涵盖的主题包括肺功能测试、慢性阻塞性肺疾病、哮喘和局部气道阻塞、限制性肺疾病、肺血管疾病、环境或工业肺部疾病（简短介绍肿瘤和传染病）以及呼吸衰竭。尽管有人可能会认为博士生理学家没有教授病理生理学的责任，但在医学院校中，协作教学越来越普遍，例如，肺部模块既包括正常呼吸生理学，也包括一些肺病理生理学。希望这些讲座对该环境中的生理学家有用。
