This book is a complete guide to the investigation, diagnosis and management of respiratory disorders. Beginning with an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system, the next chapters discuss the clinical diagnosis of different disorders including chest pain, dyspnea, cough, and hemoptysis. The following chapters cover examination and diagnostic tools, providing detail on different techniques such as sputum examination, chest X-ray, arterial blood analysis, spirometry, and CT scans. The book places emphasis on signs and symptoms, investigation techniques and clinical data analysis. More than 200 X-rays, CT scan images, clinical photographs and tables, further enhance the comprehensive text. Key points Comprehensive guide to diagnosis and management of respiratory disorders Emphasis placed on signs and symptoms, investigation techniques and clinical data analysis In depth coverage of diagnostic tools including imaging, sputum examination and arterial blood analysis Highly illustrated with X-rays, CT scan images, clinical photographs and tables
The first comprehensive Indian work on HIV/AIDS, with each contributing author an expert in his/her field of specialisation. It comprehensively covers the issues and complexities of this virus/disease, keeping in view the Indian scenario the social cultural background, constrained financial and infrastructural resources, and the peculiar and distinct HIV strains and opportunistic profile, compared to western countries.
This book is an outcome of the keynote/lead papers presented by the experts from different disciplines in the Indian Ecological Society International Conference 2016 on “Natural Resource Management: Ecological Perspectives”, organized at the Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammu, India. The book captures the essence of natural resource management from the intra and interdisciplinary perspectives of agricultural sciences (entomology, plant pathology, plant breeding and genetics, agronomy and soil sciences), social sciences (resource economics, agricultural extension education), medical sciences, and environmental sciences to stimulate discussion on the...

Hypertension is another name for high blood pressure. It can lead to severe complications and increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. The new edition of this manual provides cardiologists with the latest advances in the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Divided into 14 sections, the book begins with an overview of the history and epidemiology of the condition, risk factors, pathophysiological aspects, and molecular basis. The next chapters discuss the accuracy of blood pressure measurements, target organ damage, and secondary hypertension. The book concludes with chapters on thera...
Hypertension is another name for high blood pressure. It can lead to severe complications and increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. This book presents a selection of clinical case scenarios illustrating diagnostic and management techniques for hypertension. Divided into ten sections, the text begins with discussion on hypertension and associated risk factors, and different types of hypertension. The following sections cover ECGs, diagnosis, and cases of hypertension with comorbidities including pregnancy, renal disorders and vascular conditions. The final section examines secondary hypertension. Each chapter features a clinical case with detailed discussion on diagnosis and management strategies, followed by a selection of questions for self assessment and further learning. Key points Selection of clinical case scenarios for diagnosis and management of hypertension Covers different types of hypertension, including with comorbidities Includes discussion on secondary hypertension Each case features questions for self assessment and further learning
An Introduction to Principles and Practice of Respiratory Medicine is intended to be the first book read by postgraduates in Respiratory and Internal Medicine. It represents a broad spectrum of issues relevant to the clinician involved in managing respiratory diseases. There is material for the basic researcher as well as extensive material for the clinicians. This textbook will appeal to both graduate and postgraduate students in Respiratory Medicine, academicians and the clinicians managing patients in their day-to-day practice.A broad spectrum of issues in Respiratory Medicine is covered. The chapter on chest imaging is extensive with more than 100 illustrations in a single chapter and outlines new directions for the clinicians to approach interpretations of images. Airway diseases section is equally extensive with few chapters using the case-based problem-solving approach for easier understanding. A comprehensive overview of the respiratory system is presented thus making it easy to read and understand.
Volume 36 of "Progress in Drug Research" contains 5 articles and the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the connec tion with the previous volumes. While all articles deal with some of the topical aspects of drug research, the contribution by Robert R. Ruffolo et al. on "Drug receptors and control of the cardiovas cular system: Recent advances" is indeed in its own right a mono graphic presentation of this important domain. The remaining four reviews provide an overview of the work in volved in the search for new and better medicines, with a focus on chemical, pharmacological, toxicological, biological, biochemical and molecular modeling studies. In the 31 years this serie...
Hypertension is one of the cardiovascular diseases which is most common throughout the world. It is generally defined as an elevation of systolic and/or diastolic arterial blood pressure, which is 120/80 mm Hg in normal situation. A value of 140/90 mm is generally accepted as the upper limit of normotension. Hypertension with certain risk factors such as hypercholes terolemia, diabetes, smoking and a family history of vascular disease pre disposes to arteriosclerosis and consequent cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The treatment of hypertension leads to reduced risk of hyperten sive renal failure, haemorrhagic stroke, myocardial infarction and cardiac failure. In most cases, the cause of the hypertension can not be clearly defined. Such hypertension is termed as essential hypertension. In a few cases (5- 15%), the hypertension is secondary to definable causes, such as renal artery stenosis, a pheochromocytoma, or an endocrine disorder. This type of hyper tension is known as secondary hypertenSion. Although the exact etiology of essential hypertension is still not well known, the following factors are sup posed to play causative roles.
