    Summary: This extensively revised second edition traces the development of the basic concepts in cardiovascular physiology in light of the accumulated experimental and clinical evidence. It considers the early embryonic circulation, where blood circulation suggests the existence of a motive force, tightly coupled to the metabolic demands of the tissues. It proposes that rather than being an organ of propulsion, the heart, serves as an organ of control, generating pressure by rhythmically impeding blood flow. New and expanded chapters cover the arterial pulse, circulation in the upright posture, microcirculation and functional heart morphology. Heart and Circulation offers a new perspective for deeper understanding of the human cardiovascular system. It is therefore a thought-provoking resource for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and trainees interested in models of human circulation.

    The most recent reports on the subject of "Hard to interpret or exceptional pneumopathies. Errors in pneumological symptomatology. Surprises at the operating table" are discussed. Attention is called to innovations in radiological and isotopic technique and to new possibilities for surgical, diagnostic or resolutive action. Personal cases of lung diseases classifiable within the subject are presented and discussed. Cases were part of isolated groups, some observed at the Saint-Feyre Centre in France, and are given as an appendix to the present publication. The intention is to lay stress on the justifiable embarrassment, or otherwise, and the responsibilities of the chest and lung surgeon. Emphasis is laid on the complexity of pulmonary surgical symptomatology.
