Au début du XXe siècle, le Québec est en pleine effervescence. La population des villes augmente rapidement, les nouveaux moyens de transport permettent aux habitants de se déplacer plus facilement vers les centres urbains. Dans les villes et les grands villages, ce sont les communautés religieuses qui s'occupent des soins de santé et de l'éducation aux nécessiteux. Avec les nouveaux moyens diagnostiques, la bactériologie et l'asepsie chirurgicale, le réseau hospitalier prend de l'ampleur et ses établissements deviennent le coeur de la prestation des soins. Les soins infirmiers se professionnalisent et les hôpitaux se rapprochent des facultés universitaires de médecine. L'histoire de l'Hôpital Laval, maintenant devenu l'«Institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec - Université Laval», reflète l'évolution du Québec du XXe siècle jusqu'à nos jours, notamment le développement de son système de santé et les nombreuses interactions entre politiciens, autorités religieuses et prestataires de soins, dont les médecins, les infirmières et autres intervenants de l'époque.
Using illustrative case examples, this book thoroughly reviews similarities and differences between asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the overlap syndrome. It is important to highlight the distinctions because these commonly encountered conditions in respiratory and primary care share many similarities but have important differences often mistaken for each other. This can have serious implications for treatment, particularly as new treatments are targeted at specific phenotypes of the diseases. This practical guide shows how to distinguish between the diseases on a pathological and clinical basis so that appropriate management and treatment may be pursued.
