description

As President of ISOTT 1992, and on behalf of the ISOTT Executive Committee I wish to dedicate the 20th ISOTT meeting and this volume of Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology arising from it to Professor Gerhard Thews, as a sign of sincere gratitude for his outstanding contributions to the world of science in the area of oxygen transport to tissues. His innovative and productive work over the last 40 years has been documented in more than 200 scientific papers. These publications are distinguished by their ability to present sophisticated ideas in a simple and precise way. As a result, many of Professor Thews’ works are recognized both nationally and internationally as “classics” in the fields of lung and tissue respiration, oxygen transport, and acid-base balance in the blood. The numerous scientific awards which have been presented to Professor Thews further demonstrate the significance of these scientific achievements.
