PULMONARY HEALTH AND DISORDERS GEBUNDEN

This book presents original articles that report on new approaches and developments involving
pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary health attracts public concern as lungs are the first line of
defense of the organism against various contagions and are directly influenced by all too often
unhealthy constituents of ambient air  which make them vulnerable to diseases. The articles
deal with the pathogenic background and most relevant practical aspects of the widespread
pulmonary disorders. Topics include the mechanisms and treatment options of sleep apnea
syndrome  occupational exposure to carbon dioxide  and the research on prognostic factors in
lung cancer. Another theme tackles quality of life in chronic pathologies and the psychosocial
factors  often underestimated  having influence on lung function already in adolescence  and
thus liable to shape adult pulmonary morbidity. Reports on the course of recent influenza
outbreaks and a rather dismal state of anti-influenza measures top off the content. The volume
is addressed to clinicians and researchers  pulmonary doctors  and other professionals engaged
in patient care and therapy.
