The contributions of some 18 leading authorities ensure that each area is comprehensively covered and new to this edition are chapters on the genetics of lung disease, smoking, air pollution, sleep apnoea, diving, lung transplantation and medico-legal aspects. The changes in content reflect the pace of change in the areas concerned not only in terms of understanding of the disease processes but also their treatment. The single chapter on asthma that appeared in previous editions, has now been expanded into three chapters covering epidemiology, mechanisms and management, reflecting the enormous research effort currently underway following a marked increase in the incidence of this disease in recent years.
This new edition continues to provide an excellent reference both for the trainee and specialist in respiratory medicine, as well as the general physician. It will be extremely useful on the ward and in the office, where clinical problems arise and questions are asked which need clear answers.
This book is one of the leading clinical textbooks on diseases of the chest. This volume present an up-to-date review of all aspects of lung disease, smoking, air pollution, sleep apnoea, diving, lung transplantation and medico-legal aspects. It also has an exclusive chapter on asthma which covers epidemiology, mechanisms and management, reflecting the enormous research effort currently underway following a marked increase in the incidence of this disease in recent years.
The book is an excellent reference both for the trainee and specialist in respiratory medicine, as well as the general physician. Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults.
The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care.
The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.
The book is oriented towards the diagnostic approach, including manifestations suggesting the disease, diagnostic criteria, methods of diagnostic confirmation, and differential diagnosis, with an overview of management.
This is the second edition of a reference work aimed at all those concerned with dealing with tuberculosis control in developing countries. The book follows in the tradition of Kurt Toman's original work in this field, with the text set out in a question and answer format, grouped under three headings: case detection; treatment, and monitoring. The threat of tuberculosis is still potent, with two million deaths globally.
This new edition, containing contributions from a number of experts in this field, addresses the resurgence of tuberculosis, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacilli, and the growth of HIV-infected individuals with tuberculosis, as well as recent scientific developments. In this fourth edition of the popular Flexible Bronchoscopy, which has been revised and updated throughout, the world's leading specialists discuss the technical and procedural aspects of performing diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy.
Four new chapters have been added, taking into account new developments in EBUS and electromagnetic navigation. Bronchiectasis is a hot topic in respiratory medicine, attracting an increasing amount of interest from clinicians, scientists, physiotherapists and the pharmaceutical industry. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the disease in terms of the research performed, clinical management, classification and patient treatment.
The disease is also very complex because it can be caused by multiple underlying disorders, meaning its clinical presentation is highly diverse.
This Monograph will tackle these issues by providing a series of chapters from recognised world experts covering: clinical management, service delivery, pathophysiology, microbiology and underlying disorders. The contributions of some 18 leading authorities ensure that each area is comprehensively covered and new to this edition are chapters on the genetics of lung disease, smoking, air pollution, sleep apnoea, diving, lung transplantation and medico-legal aspects.
