Description
Goel and Mahadule at AIIMS Rishikesh defend physiology against reports of its decline. Their piece looks back over five hundred years from Fernel and Bernard onward. The field backs blood-flow science, heart tracing, nitric oxide biology, and oxygen sensing. It also guides daily bedside tests from lung checks to renal clearance.
Gene-era reductionism, they argue, pushed broad thinking aside without solving complex disease. Beta-blockers in heart failure show body logic beating first guesses. Wearables, organ chips, digital twins, and AI tools now offer the field new tools. Public health know-how campaigns could help restore the field's standing.
