Written as a concise clinical reference guide covering the current and future airway disease treatments, this text encompasses:
pathophysiology of respiratory tract diseases
the methods of measuring airway and clinical responses
the concepts upon which many treatments are used in COPD and asthma conditions
the way in which these treatments work, and how new treatments can be discovered and tested in various patient groups
state-of-the-art pharmacological and therapeutic approaches in controlling pathophysiological processes in the airways
normal and abnormal physiological, biochemical and molecular aspects of the respiratory tract
basic mechanisms of inflammatory cell activation and pathophysiology in disease
therapeutic ways of controlling inflammation
ways of reversing or preventing airflow obstruction, and symptomatic treatments of advanced disease
