    PUFF was the first expert system developed using EMYCIN to diagnose and assess the severity of lung diseases. It was initially built at Stanford University using the MYCIN system as a starting point. PUFF was then used in the lung function laboratory at a medical center to help interpret test results and determine if patients had lung diseases by matching findings to its knowledge base of rules. The system analyzed measurements of lung volumes, air flow, and gas exchange to suggest potential conditions and produce reports for patient files.

    History

    • Puff developed from work done on the MYCIN system.


    • It was developed by Janice Akins, John kunz, Ted Shortliffee, Robert
    Fallat.
    • It was developed at Stanford university and Pacific Presbyterian
    medical centre.
    • PUFF was initially built using a generalization of the MYCIN system
    called EMYCIN.
    History

    • That program used a knowledge base of production rules to perform


    infectious disease consultations.
    • PUFF was probably the first AI system to have been used in clinical
    practice.
    • PUFF was initially developed on the SUMEX computer, a large
    research machine at Stanford University.
    • This version of puff expert system is called SUMEX version.
    What is lung?

    • Respiratory organ
    • Consists of two box shapes connected through a single opening called
    tracheae.
    • Lungs are elastic and spongy due to the presence of alvolie.
    • Lungs of an ordinary man can accommodate air up to 500 ml.
    Functions of lungs

    • Diaphram-
    A membrane present in chest cavity which cover the lungs externally.
    • Exchange of gases in blood.
    Some lung diseases

    • LUNG CANCER
    • TB (Tuberculosis)
    • ASTHMA
    What is puff?

    • PUFF can diagnose the presence and severity of lung disease and
    produce reports for the patient's file.
    • PUFF was the first system developed using EMYCIN . It included the
    domain independent features of MYCIN which are-
    o Rule interpreter
    o Explanation
    o Knowledge acquisition
    Continue

    • As we know that puff expert system has developed by using


    EMYCIN.
    • Where EMYCIN is the sub system of MYCIN.
    • This expert system uses backward chaining.
    Continue

    • Initially puff expert system was used in lung function laboratory at


    Pacific medical centre in San Francisco.
    • This laboratory includes equipments designed to measure
    1. the volume of lung
    2. the ability of patient to move air into and out of the lung
    3. The ability of lung to get oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide out.
    The pulmonary physiologist then interprets these measurements in order to determine the
    presence of lung disease in the patient.
    Figure
    Continue

    • Just as MYCIN consists of EMYCIN plus a set of facts and rules


    about the diagnosis and therapy of infectious diseases.
    • PUFF is consisted of the EMYCIN programs plus a lung disease
    knowledge base.
