Respiratory medicine

Asthma And Allergies Book Information: The disorder is a chronic or recurring inflammatory condition in which the airways develop increased responsiveness to various stimuli, characterized by bronchial hyper-responsiveness, inflammation, increased mucus production, and intermittent airway obstruction. The symptoms of asthma, which can range from mild to life threatening, can usually be controlled with a combination of drugs and lifestyle changes. http://rapidshare.de/files/25565977/Health_Ebooks_on_Asthma.rar Respiratory Medicine, ACP Medicine Online Extract http://rapidshare.de/files/11555691/rssko8j.rar.html Tuberculosis: An Issue of Clinics in Chest Medicine Publisher: W.B.

New industrial processes have led to the production and use of a wide range of chemicals, metals, and alloys, an increasing number of which have been reported to cause interstitial lung disease in exposed workers. Thus, while the workforce in coal mining and asbestos handling has decreased, new groups of workers are at risk of exposure to agents potentially responsible for pneumoconiosis. This well-illustrated book, written by internationally acclaimed experts, provides a comprehensive approach to modern imaging of environmental and occupational diseases of the chest. The first part of the book addresses the basic knowledge required to understand imaging in this context, while the second focuses on the imaging results achieved in a variety of specific disorders. There is particular emphasis on thin-section computed tomography since this technique facilitates the detection of early subclinical abnormalities. * Hardcover: 305 pages * Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (December 14, 2005) * ISBN: 3540213430 * Format: PDF * Size: 10.0 MB http://mihd.net/5.2436/8356756.rar.html pass: Lekar Mucus Hypersecretion in Respiratory Disease http://rapidshare.de/files/16186110/Mocus_hipersecretion.rar.html Pharmacology of Asthma Lung Biology In Health And Disease - Vol 212 Publisher Comments: Considering the role of pharmacotherapy in the overall management of asthma, this reference provides detailed coverage of the complexities of nebulizers, metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, and propellants, and covers all the currently available drugs used in the treatment of asthma. Each drug-specific chapter includes expert reviews of pharmacology, mechanisms of action, efficacy, safety, special concerns and situations, and recommendations for clinical practice. Synopsis: Standing as the only text focused on the pharmaceutical treatment of asthma, this reference details the pharmacology, mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety of every drug currently utilized in the management and care of asthma patients. Internationally renowned authorities distill published practice guidelines, treatment plans, pharmacologic agents, and clinical studies to provide the most authoritative and up-to-date information on the use of medications to control and prevent this common condition.

Goode Print ISBN: 0471494372 Online ISBN: 0470868678 Copyright (c) Novartis Foundation 2001 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most common respiratory disorder of adults in the developed world and is the fourth main cause of death in the USA. It is also associated with high morbidity, and poses an enormous burden of suffering and expense. Despite this, the disease has received little attention compared with other respiratory conditions such as asthma and lung cancer. Current treatment can offer some marginal symptomatic relief but does not address the underlying disease process. Indeed, smoking cessation is the only intervention known to alter the rate of disease progression. There is clearly great need, and potential, for the development of superior therapies for symptomatic relief and disease modification. This book brings together leading researchers and physicians to discuss the most recent advances in our understanding of COPD, and draws together basic and clinical aspects relevant to the topic. Coverage includes the basic pathology, current and potential therapies, and detailed consideration of the major theories for the pathogenesis of COPD.

In addition to those with active TB, an estimated 10 to 15 million people in the United States are infected with M. tuberculosis without displaying symptoms (latent TB) and about one in ten of these individuals will develop active TB at some time in their lives. Minorities are affected disproportionately by TB: 54 percent of active TB cases in 1999 were among African-American and Hispanic people, with an additional 20 percent found in Asians. This issue updates the reader on the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis. Publisher: W.B. Saunders Company; 1st edition (October 15, 2005) ISBN: 1416028110 Author: Neil W.
