Pulmonology by Gabriella Goodwin Pdf

Pulmonology is a medical specialization concerned with the diseases of the respiratory tract. Managing patients who require mechanical ventilation and life support is under the scope of this field. Conditions of the chest such as asthma, tuberculosis, pneumonia, chest infections and emphysema are treated using pulmonary medicine. Such conditions arise due to a number of reasons, such as genetics, exposure to toxins and infectious agents, or due to an autoimmune response of the body. Some hereditary pulmonary diseases are alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency and cystic fibrosis. Pulmonary function tests, spirometry, blood tests, chest X-rays, CT scanning, etc. are some of the diagnostic techniques used in pulmonology. Oral and inhalation medication, oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, etc. are common strategies often employed in pulmonary disease management. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of pulmonology. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the varied respiratory conditions and their management techniques. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.

Aspiration Pneumonia by Shinji Teramoto,Kosaku Komiya Pdf

This book offers an essential overview of aspiration pneumonia, and focuses on four major aspects: epidemiology, pathophysiology, new preventive strategies, and trending topics. Each part presents detailed findings and insights into critical issues for the treatment of the disease including its diagnosis, assessment, selecting antibiotics, similarities and differences between aspiration risk and aspiration pneumonia risk, different therapeutic approaches and so on. The book also discusses emerging topics concerning the definition of NHCAP and sleep apnea. Special attention is given to therapeutic and preventive approaches for the elderly, highlighting recent advances and the evidence on their positive outcomes. Since the patients with this disorder are often in a post-stroke state and elderly, the book is highly relevant for neurologists and geriatric physicians. Further, many surgeons also face this type of pneumonia in association with postoperative complications and cancer therapy related complications. Lastly, the definition of aspiration pneumonia and its therapeutic strategy have yet to be established in many countries, and the data presented here should serve as a guideline for its future diagnosis and treatment. As such, the book offers a valuable resource for primary physicians, pulmonologists, gerontologists, respiratory nurses, physical therapists, dentists and otolaryngologists alike.
