[Internal medicine and clinical physiopathology]

Internal medicine is understood as an applied part of medicine closely connected with the patient, the task of which is care of patients. Clinical pathophysiology is understood as theoretical and experimental field of medicine the task of which is the clarification of diseases by statement of functional connections. Among other things the two specialities used the clinico-diagnostical and clinico-physiological (experimental) functional diagnostics for the solution of their task. The results are usable for the medical care immediately for the individual patient (prophylaxis, therapy, metaphylaxis, rehabilitation) or they will be for the patient's benefit as medico-theoretical knowledge (etiopathogenesis, sanogenesis, prognostics). Problems of realisation are entered at the instance of the respiratory functional diagnostic in the preliminary, basis and complex region under the aspect of personal and localisation questions of functional diagnostics.
