Airways Smooth Muscle: Modelling the Asthmatic Response In Vivo
Building on the existing titles in the "Airways Smooth Muscle" sub-series, the sixth volume explores physiological and pharmacological processes in the lung in vivo. The various animal models available for studying the bronchospasm and inflammation associated with human asthma are thoroughly reviewed by internationally recognised scientists. Specific chapters focus on the problems of administering drugs to animal airways, the mechanics of assessing lung function in the models, and describe in detail the species used, from rodents to primates. The use of genetically altered animals, an area of particular interest to molecular biologists, is also considered in depth. This up-to-date and extensively referenced work will prove invaluable to pharmacologists, physiologists and other biological scientists at all levels in academia and in the pharmaceutical industry.
Asthma
This book gives an up-to-date analysis of the epidemiology of asthma i n children and adults, the role of steroids in asthma management and n ew and novel asthma therapies. Specific chapters deal with the epidem iology of asthma mortality and of childhood asthma, others discuss the advantages and drawbacks of the use of b2-adenoreceptor agonists, cor ticosteroids, theophylline and new generation phosphodiesterase inhibi tors in the treatment of asthma. A new non-invasive method to assess a irway inflammation is also presented as well as steroid-sparing therap ies in asthma. The book addresses clinicians and basic scientists wit h an interest in asthma epidemiology, steroids and future therapies. I t is also of interest to clinical and no-clinical teachers in academic disciplines relating to respiratory disease.
Asthma
Diagnosing asthma requires knowledge of the multiple conditions that emulate it, and treatment requires addressing factors that modify the disease. This comprehensive, single reference will help practitioners identify and care for co-morbid conditions and improve asthma treatment.

Pharmacology and Therapeutics of Asthma and COPD
The present volume is supposed to be a major reference resource for chest physicians and those involved in the development of novel pharmaceutical entities for these diseases. Internationally recognized authorities review the most important new information on the advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of these diseases, including the substantial advances in the topical delivery of inhaled medicines. Each chapter is extensively referenced, generously illustrated with clear diagrams and photographs, and represents a state-of-the-art review of this important area of respiratory medicine.
Landmark Papers in Allergy
Landmark Papers in Allergy is a definitive collection of over 90 papers charting key discoveries in relation to allergy and the development of treatment and care for allergic disorders. Commentaries from leading international experts provide reflections on the historical importance and current relevance of each contribution.
ERS Handbook of Respiratory Medicine
The European Respiratory Society (ERS) Handbook of Respiratory Medicine, now in its third edition, is a concise, compact and easy-to-read guide to each of the key areas in respiratory medicine. Its 20 sections, written by clinicians and researchers at the forefront of the field, explain the structure and function of the respiratory system, its disorders and how to treat them. The Handbook is a must-have for anyone who intends to remain up to date in the field, and to have within arm's reach a reference that covers everything from the basics to the latest developments in respiratory medicine.
Asthma and COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which encompasses both chronic bronchitis and emphysema, is one of the most common respiratory conditions of adults in the developed world. Asthma and COPD: Basic Mechanisms and Clinical Management provides a unique, authoritative comparison of asthma and COPD. Written and edited by the world's leading experts, it is a comprehensive review of the most recent understanding of the basic mechanisms of both conditions, specifically comparing their etiology, pathogenesis, and treatments.* Highlights distinguishing features between asthma and COPD* Reviews benefits and limitations of current therapies* Summarises key information in two-colour artwork * Extensively referenced to primary literature
Evidence-based Asthma Management
Introducing a new book that takes a solid, evidence and research-based approach to asthma management. From start to finish, this book guides the reader through indication for the use of current therapies, inclu ding beta adrenergic agonists, corticosteroids, alternate therapies, a nd more. An informative guide, if offers advice on asthma education, c ompliance issues, and what to do when asthma is unresponsive to the us ual therapy. Additionally, epidemiology, genetics, diagnosis, inducers and triggers are also discussed.
