INTRODUCTION The overall objective of this project was to determine whether exposure of humans to "worst case" ambient concentrations of sulfate-containing aerosols might cause measurable health effects. To accomplish this goal we: 1. Developed a high-capacity aerosol generator and an aerosol...

Preface Pulmonary Hypertension will provide a comprehensive review of clinical and investigative aspects of pulmonary hypertension including idiopathic (primary) and secondary forms. Management of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is difficult and has generally been managed...
Preface The consequences of disturbed function of the pulmonary circulation remain an enigma to most clinicians. There is disturbance of pulmonary circulatory function in nearly all cardiac and pulmonary disease, yet this is rarely recognized or treated. The...
Pulmonary rehabilitation programmes are a fundamental part of the clinical management of patients with chronic respiratory diseases. This comprehensive reference book places pulmonary rehabilitation within the wider framework of respiratory disease. Now in six parts, it includes new...
Preface Since the publication of the first edition of Clinical Management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, the emerging awareness about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as a public health issue that was ours then has become a major preoccupation. The burden of chronic...
Preface The first edition of Diagnostic Pulmonary Pathology provided a practical, userfriendly approach to the diagnosis of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic lung diseases that differed from most traditional textbooks. The theme was one of problem solving and the organization paralleled the...
Preface In the 10 years prior to the sequencing of the human genome (in 2000), much was learned about multifactorial diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, as we now begin to apply genetics and genomics to human disease, even more will be gained from this...
Preface We are very pleased to organize the second edition of Interventional Pulmonary Medicine. Interventional pulmonology continues to grow as a specialty within the broader field of pulmonary/critical care medicine. IP, as it is often referred to, has become the mainstream, and an...
This handy, accessible single volume presents useful clinical information to expose the pathophysiology underlying major pulmonary diseases, and traces the steps of treatment, from establishing diagnosis to managing therapy. Contains more than 400 summary tables, radiographs, pathology...
This Standard includes all devices designed to assist in the provision of expired-air pulmonary resuscitation. These devices are designed to aid in the protection of the rescuer from communicable diseases transmitted from the area covered by the device via bodily fluids and/or expired air....
