2012年11月2日在南非开普敦,克里斯·布尔克里斯·布尔格克里斯酒,呼吸学医学群落受到震惊和悲伤。直到他的死亡,他是南非开普敦开普敦开普敦大学医学院呼吸研究单位和呼吸研究单位和呼吸研究单位和联席主任。
We have lost a good friend, an experienced researcher, a caring doctor, an excellent teacher and the most wonderful mentor that you could ask for. A complete representation of the life and achievements of Chris Bolliger is not possible. I have highlighted a couple of benchmarks as a reminder.
Chris was born and grew up in Switzerland and attended school in Basel. After graduating from high school he went to medical schools in Basel and Lausanne. In 1976 he completed medical school and began his training in internal and pulmonary medicine in Switzerland. In the early1980s he moved to South Africa and in 1989 became an Honoured Baccalaureus in Epidemiology at the University of Stellenbosch. In the same year he moved back to Switzerland and took over a consultant position in the Division of pulmonology at the University Hospital of Basel. In the following years he established the interventional pulmonology service in Basel and started his globally recognised research activities in that field [1]。During this time he finished his PhD and was appointed Associate Professor at the University of Basel.
1999年,他被要求成为开普敦卫生科学院校呼吸研究单位呼吸研究单局的联合主席,并在那里返回。
In his career he introduced several techniques in the armamentarium of our interventional options, but he was also active in most areas in pulmonary medicine.
他继续扩大他在所有不同地区的肺部医学领域的活动,但在他的初始介入肺部领域仍然非常活跃。直到他悲伤的死亡,他参与了新的和即将到来的技术的发展,并且是许多这些的关键驱动因素。例如,2012年维也纳欧洲呼吸协会的最后一次国会,他提出了第一个国际临床研究,评估了在辐射递送过188bet官网地址程中对肺肿瘤进行了实时技术的使用。这项开拓工作在“先进的”出版物中有效[2]。
在他接受不断的国际认可的肺部领域的独特工作。2010年,他在匈牙利布达佩斯的世界大会期间获得了世界支气管科和介入肺系统的终身成就证书。
Chris also played an active role in research aimed at smoking control and cessation. In 2012 he co-authored guidelines on smoking cessation in Africa and the Middle East for healthcare providers, focusing on smoking prevention, cessation and the effects of smoking on the health of populations. He also worked as a board member of the Global Healthcare Alliance for Treatment of Tobacco Dependence (GHATTD).
Beside the already mentioned emphasis on interventional bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy, one of his interests was cardiopulmonary exercise testing. One of his initial publications is still current and represents an important algorithm [3]。Over the years he has published more than 250 peer-reviewed articles, 14 books and various book chapters.
1998年,他成功地将赫佐府教授作为主编呼吸[4]。在接下来的几年里,他将这些期刊发展为一个领先的肺部医学期刊。影响因子在2010年增加到2.4,问题的数量从每年六到12增加。他介绍了主题审查系列,以及介入肺部段。2002年,他形成了成功的伙伴关系呼吸and the European Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology.
In addition to his clinical and research activities he was active politically and helped to form the image of modern pulmonology. He was an active officer of the European Respiratory Society and became the Head of the Clinical Assembly in 2005. In this position he developed and strengthened the Assembly and succeeded in uniting the diverse interests within it.
In 2002, he co-founded the European Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology. From 2006 to 2012 he was President of the Society and, during this time, he worked hard to develop the Society.
与克里斯T. Bolliger,我们都失去了一个好朋友,一个有爱心的医生和一位优秀的研究员。就个人而言,他为我的职业生涯帮助了我作为朋友和导师,无私,无畏。
Beside all these activities, family was always important to Chris and he leaves behind a wife and three daughters.
现在?我们必须通过继续他的想法,活动和梦想来记住他。通过这种方式,我们可以让他活着。也许我们必须记住他演示的传统最后一个幻灯片:阳光灿烂的日子从桌山上的开普敦湾的视图;放松和宁静,也是鼓舞人心,令人着迷的。
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
