Novel Technologies in the Diagnosis and Management of Sleep-disordered Breathing
Sleep-disordered breathing, ranging from habitual snoring to severe obstructive sleep apnea, is highly prevalent and represents a growing global healthcare burden. Besides disrupting sleep, sleep-disordered breathing leads to detrimental outcomes such as excessive daytime sleepiness, neurocognitive impairment, and increased cardiometabolic morbidities. The gold standard diagnostic procedures (e.g., in-lab polysomnography) are cumbersome and standard parameters derived from sleep studies often yield poor long-term prognostic value. Hence, there is a need for innovative diagnostic technologies and novel sleep metrics to enable simple diagnosis and tailored disease management.
COPD and Comorbidity
COPD is responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality, and its course is complicated by co-existing comorbidities that worsen prognosis. Understanding the importance of comorbidity and multiple comorbidities in COPD is important in patient assessment and management planning. This Monograph is the first comprehensive collection of up-to-date articles on COPD comorbidity. It includes chapters on epidemiology, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, psychological disease and infection, and covers the importance of including comorbidity in COPD treatment guidelines, as well as the ways in which comorbidity influences clinical COPD management. This book will be of interest to clinicians, healthcare professionals, and those researching this important area.
Advances in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Sleep Apnea
The book focuses on biomedical innovations related to the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea.

Management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Since the 1970s, therapeutic nihilism has moved towards a more optimistic attitude regarding therapeutic alternatives in COPD. Research focused on inflammatory and physiological mechanisms has substantially increased during the last 10 years. This has led to an increased understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease, which has resulted in improved treatment. Thus, in parallel to smoking-cessation programmes, other treatment modalities have been shown to be successful. Physiotherapy and pharmacotherapy have been extensively studied and the knowledge regarding what these therapeutic approa.
