This comprehensive volume addresses the latest treatment strategies for asthma, keying in on the genetics and molecular biology of asthma and pointing the way toward new, commercially viable therapies.
Presents the most up-to-date information available on the genetics, epidemiology, pathology, pharmacology, and pulmonology of asthma.
Written by more than 20 leading international experts, New and Exploratory Therapeutic Agents for Asthma
explores asthma both as incidence of dysfunctional airway smooth muscle and as a disorder of the immune system
examines the role of monoclonal antibodies in allergy and asthma
describes functions and pharmacokinetic profiles of bronchodilator 2 agonists, anticholinergics, and inhaled glucocorticosteroids
investigates the controversy of different types of asthma
illustrates the connections between clinical symptoms and the immunopathology of eosinophilic inflammation
assesses prospects for the development of a successful oral anti-inflammatory therapy, an immunomodulator that lowers antigen-specific IgE, an anticytokine compound, and an agent that safely combines bronchospasmolytic and anti-inflammatory properties
reviews the impact of the recent introduction of antileukotriene agents, clinical findings with PAF antagonists, and selective antimuscarinics
evaluates the relationship between improvements in laboratory results and clinical effectiveness
