Book Synopsis Pulmonary Disease by : Carol Farver

Download or read book Pulmonary Disease written by Carol Farver. This book was released on 2020-08-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers neoplastic and non-neoplastic pulmonary diseases, supplying essential information for the most common pulmonary diseases as well as many of the rarer ones. Organized around disease entities and presented in outline form, this book provides easy access to the essential facts and is illustrated with plentiful figures. The essential pathology, radiology and bronchoscopic technologies are discussed, as well as the tools needed to facilitate the most specific diagnoses and thus the most appropriate therapies. Each chapter also provides a list of suggested readings to guide further study. Written for a broad audience of clinicians who encounter these diseases in their everyday practice, this book serves specialists in pulmonary medicine and internal medicine, as well as general surgical pathologists who encounter these diseases as pulmonary specimens and who use this information for definitive evaluation and diagnoses of these entities, especially in small biopsies and cytopathology specimens. Pulmonary Disease: Pathology, Radiology, Bronchoscopy brings together the essential clinical, radiologic and pathologic insights for the major diseases of the lung, emphasizing the diagnostic criteria needed to ensure accurate diagnoses from small specimens.

Book Synopsis Etiology and Treatment of Acute Lung Injury by : Sadis Matalon

Download or read book Etiology and Treatment of Acute Lung Injury written by Sadis Matalon. This book was released on 2001. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains contributions of internationally known basic scientists and clinicians with expertise in various aspects of lung injury and repair. This monogram on the pathophysiology and treatment of Acute Lung Injury contains five different sections, each one with contributions from both basic and clinical scientists, outlining existing controversies, an how they can be resolved by future multidisciplinary studies. The various sections discuss: sodium transport and fluid clearance across the normal and injured lungs, the role of the pulmonary surfactant in the pathogenesis and treatment of ARDS, mechanisms and modification of acute and chronic lung injury, ventilatory strategies for the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome and nitric oxide: friend or foe.

Book Synopsis Lung Injury by : Robert H. Notter

Download or read book Lung Injury written by Robert H. Notter. This book was released on 2005-04-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progressing from general scientific principles and concepts to in-depth topical discussions of current research and treatment methods, this comprehensive reference defines the cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to inflammatory lung injury and repair. Extensive coverage is provided on key mediators and pathways important in acute and chronic pulmonary inflammation and lung injury, as well as the mechanistic pathophysiology of related diseases ranging from clinical acute lung injury (ALI) and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other subacute and chronic conditions. Additional chapters also address vascular dysfunction, surfactant dysfunction, reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, and cell and animal models of acute and chronic lung injury.

Book Synopsis Acute Lung Injury and Repair by : Lynn M. Schnapp

Download or read book Acute Lung Injury and Repair written by Lynn M. Schnapp. This book was released on 2016-11-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and the incidence is predicted to increase with the aging population Several clinical disorders can initiate ARDS, including pneumonia, sepsis, gastric aspiration and trauma but despite intense research over the past 40 years, we still have an incomplete understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease and treatment remains largely supportive. This book provides an overview of acute lung injury and repair, describes current animal models to study lung injury and reviews current methodologies to study and measure lung injury and repair. Special emphasis is given to state of the art techniques and methods and relevance to human disease. Acute Lung Injury and Repair: Scientific Fundamentals and Methods is a useful resource for physicians and scientists who are interested in experimental model systems for insight into ARDS pathogenesis and treatment strategies.
