As the current millennium steams towards a close, one cannot help
but look with amazement at the incredible amount of progress that
has been achieved in medicine in just the last few decades. A key
contributing factor to this success has been the importation and
blending of ideas and techniques from disciplines outside the
traditional borders of medical science. In recent years, the most
well-known example is the cross-pollination between molecular
biology and medicine. Advances driven by this potent combination
have spawned the vision of a future where cures based on gene
therapy become commonplace. Yet, as we continue our search for
"magic bullets" in the quest to eradicate disease, it important to
recognize the value of other less-heralded interdisciplinary
efforts that have laid a large part of the foundation of
present-day medicine. In pulmonary medicine, the contribution from
the bioengineers (a diverse collection of individuals cross-bred to
various degrees in mathematical modeling and experimental
physiology) has been larger and more sustained than in many other
medical specialties. It is easy to point to the vast array of
ventilators, blood-gas analyzers, oximeters, pulmonary function
devices, and respiration monitors that are present in any modern
clinical setting as solid evidence of the successful synergy
between engineering science and pulmonary medicine. However, one
must not forget the less tangible, but perhaps more important,
contributions that have been derived from mathematical modeling and
computer simulation, without which many of these modern instruments
would not have come into existence.
