Produktbeschreibung

The only international clinical textbook in the Specialty, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is the first up-to-date reference source to include the latest national and international guidelines and newer therapeutic agents in COPD treatment. An international team of experts cover all aspects of COPD-from physiology and epidemiology to diagnosis and treatment - and include everything the busy physician needs in order to understand, diagnose and treat the COPD patient: * Structure and physiology of the respiratory system epidemiology, host defences, inflammation, secretion and pathogenesis * Clinical considerations and allied conditions includes exacerbations associated with the condition * Therapy (including current and developing treatments) rehabilitation, social and ventilatory support, smoking cessation, long-term oxygen therapy and surgery * Current and developing treatments anti-cholinergics, beta agonists, steroids, inhibitors, antibacterial, antioxidants, mucolytics and immunisation * Diagnostic tests used in daily practice clinical studies, outcome measures and research Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is the only authoritative, global reference source for all health care professionals worldwide involved in the management and treatment of patients with COPD.

Rezensionen

"Appropriate to the intense proliferation of research andpublications in the last few decades for this major health problem,the editors of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease haveproduced a comprehensive textbook that spans the basic and clinicalscience of COPD. This substantial tome includes 912 pages, 243illustrations, and 70 chapters authored by an international cadreof contributors...

The succinct writing style, judicious use of complementaryillustrations, and well-focused references achieve the desiredbreadth without compromising sufficient depth orreadability...

Section 3 focuses on cellular physiology and inflammation. Thissection exemplifies the strength of this textbook, digesting alarge body of developing science into comprehensible synopses ofthe disease processes that form the basis for therapeuticopportunities...

In summary, the editors and authors of Chronic ObstructivePulmonary Disease have achieved their goal by creating acurrent textbook covering many facets of this complex disorder. Inparallel with the field of COPD, the textbook has its strength inthe scientific underpinnings of airway and lung physiology andadvances in the understanding of cellular and physiologicalderangements." - Richard A. Mularski (MD, MSHS, MRC), JAMA,September 2007

"The strength of the book lies in the more than 100authors...recognized worldwide. Most of the chapters areexcellent reviews and are carefully referenced."
