The chapters are well laid out, and all of the information is explained in an easily understandable way. This new edition provides the most up to date information for clinical practice from paediatrics through to the elderly. Chapter six is particularly useful, it provides the reader with case studies and then works through a logical way of problem solving along with introducing the reader to specific outcome measures.   All in all a must have text!!!!  - Laura Culpan, Physiotherapy Student, University of Bradford   This book is a must have for respiratory learning as it is clear and concise and contains both adults and paediatric care. The clear diagrams make it easier to learn and the chapters cover core subjects for example assessments, techniques, paediatrics, ventilation and many more. Throughout the authors have made small summary physio points which will be useful when revising for a particular topic. The authors have also used flow charts and pictures to put across some of the information which is very useful for visual learners. I would very much recommend this book as it contains all of the information needed for respiratory at university and during your career.   - Charlotte Barrett, Physiotherapy Student, Cardiff University, UK.   Overall this is a good all-round, evidence based resource to use whilst studying or if newly qualified that covers all the main aspects of respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy. It is a great place to start when writing case studies in this field. This book is structured in the familiar style that we have come to know Elsevier for: a logical and clear design that is well laid out with the text presented in a variety of formats and supported with photographs, drawings and diagrams. The sections covering surgery, again provide good information for the student, particularly things like commonly used drugs and side effects, terminology and common procedures that are likely to be encountered. Finally, there are a number of handy images stored online that can be used in your presentations but perhaps this facility would have been better with a few more resources available, such as quizzes or tests to assess knowledge.  - Linda Wilkinson, Physiotherapy Student, University of Southampton, UK.    As a 1st year physiotherapy student, I've been able to use this book to understand the pathophysiology of cardiorespiratory problems as well as their clinical management. It's also well structured, beginning with the assessment of a cardiorespiratory patient and covering assessment tests and techniques and their interpretation. I also like that it has separate sections for paediatrics and adults and also has a good overview of types of surgery.  I feel that this book is not only useful to me now but will be essential when I go on placement, as a reference to clarify and build on my day-to-day learning. I would recommend this text to anyone looking for a good overall cardiorespiratory text.  - Mayuri Butchart, Physiotherapy Student, King's College London, UK.   \"I found this text book useful, informative and a great aid to my first practice placement.\"  Ms N.L Benson, 2nd Year Physiotherapy Student, University of Central Lancashire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword About The Editors Preface Acknowledgements Contributors   1 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Mandy Jones, Alex Harvey, Eleanor Main   2 CLINICAL ASSESSMENT   Adults Amanda Thomas, Lyndal J Maxwell Infant and Child Eleanor Main The Acutely Ill or Deteriorating Patient Sarah Keilty   3 THORACIC IMAGING   Adults Conor D Collins, Susan J Copley Paediatrics Joy L Barber, Christopher D George    4 CARDIAC AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES Andrew D Hirschhorn, Sean F Mungovan, David A B Richards   5 RESPIRATORY DISEASES Anne E Holland, Jennifer A Alison With a contribution from Alex Harvey and Mandy Jones   6 OUTCOME MEASUREMENT IN CARDIORESPIRATORY PHYSIOTHERAPY PRACTICE Selina M Parry, Linda Denehy With Contributions from Claire E Baldwin, Bronwen Connolly, Elizabeth H Skinner, Sally J Singh, Sarah Rand, Craig A Williams   7 PHYSIOTHERAPY INTERVENTIONS Eleanor Main With contributions from Sue Berney, Linda Denehy, Michelle Chatwin, Mark R Elkins, Daniel Flunt, Amanda J Piper, Annemarie L Lee, Bredge Mccarren, Harriet Shannon, Rosemary Moore, Sarah Rand, Barbara A Webber, Marie T Williams   8 OPTIMIZING ENGAGEMENT AND ADHERENCE WITH THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS Mandy Bryon   9 ADULT INTENSIVE CARE Jennifer Paratz, George Ntoumenopoulos, Alice Y M Jones, Claire Fitzgerald   10 PAEDIATRIC INTENSIVE CARE   Paediatric Mechanical Support Stewart Reid, Mark J Peters Physiotherapy Management of Ventilated Infants and Children Eleanor Main, Alicia J Spittle   11 CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERY FOR ADULTS Doa El-Ansary, Julie C Reeve, Sulakshana, Balachandran, Michelle Mulligan, Linda Denehy   12 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND REHABILITATION   Physical Activity and Physical Fitness in Health and Disease Chris Burtin, Vasileios Andrianopoulos, Martijn A Spruit Pulmonary Rehabilitation Katy Mitchell, Fabio Pitta, Anne E Holland, Annemarie L Lee, Linda Denehy Cardiac Rehabilitation Julie Redfern, Jennifer Jones   13 CARDIORESPIRATORY MANAGEMENT OF SPECIAL POPULATIONS Linda Denehy, Eleanor Main With contributions from Sarah Smailes, Anita Plaza, Jennifer Paratz, Leanne Williams, Claire Bradley, Jacqueline L Luke, Jacqueline Ross, Brooke Wadsworth, Kate J Hayes, Prue E Munro, Paul Aurora, Helena Van Aswegen, Craig A Williams, Sarah Rand, Catherine L Granger, Sue Berney, Amy Nordon-Craft, Linda Denehy   APPENDIX - NORMAL VALUES, CONVERSION TABLE AND ABBREVIATIONS   Index","brand":"Elsevier Health Sciences","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48865573044567,"sku":"9780702047312","price":46.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780702047312.jpg?v=1722274564"},{"product_id":"recognizing-and-treating-breathing-disorders-9780702049804","title":"Recognizing and Treating Breathing Disorders","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisordered breathing patterns may be a symptom or a cause of frequently undiagnosed health problems.

This text is the most comprehensive of its kind and the clinical application of the content so broadly based it deserves a wide readership.    Donald Scott, Osteopath, UK   This is an extremely well-detailed book and I love how it explores all areas of breathing i.e. the psychological, emotional and physical elements of the process.   Eva Au Zveglic, Specialised Respiratory Physiotherapist, UK   This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in breathing from whatever discipline they belong to.   Anne Pitman, Physiotherapy, Devonshire Place, London, UK   As the current title suggests, I feel the book appropriately covers multidisciplinary management strategies of BPD which is an extremely important aim given that the disorder is so complex with multiple aetiologies and no single assessment or treatment tool.   Kate Bazin. Physiotherapist, UK    Breathing is an overlooked part of human function. We need more information about breathing as it is such an important prerequisite for the normal functioning of so many other body systems.    Ken Crenshaw, Head Athletic Trainer of the Arizona Diamondbacks Baseball Team, USA    As clinical practitioners we must always be aware of causation, maintaining and exacerbating factors. Abnormal breathing has the ability to be all three of these.   T. Hewetson, Lecturer in Osteopathy, Oxford, UK   This is not a perfect all-encompassing textbook.That was not its purpose.

The use of point of care ultrasound, pleural manometry, and medical pleuroscopy has expanded over the last decade. The goal of writing this book was to become a source or reference for clinicians who manage patients with pleural effusions.  Pleural space contains minimal amount of fluid and physiological processes keep a constant equilibrium so that it remains as such. Pleural effusions develop as a result of processes that disrupt this fine balance, as in heart failure, infections, and malignancies, which account for majority of the pleural effusions. Besides these three common causes, pleural effusions cause symptoms in many other conditions, some of which are common regardless of the etiology of the pleural effusion, such as, dyspnea and cough. Diagnosing the etiology becomes important as management can vary depending upon the cause. In some situations, involvement of the pleural space portends a poor prognosis, such as in malignancies and treatment focuses on symptom relief.  The chapters in thise book span over a wide range of topics involving pleural effusions. Initial chapters focus on clinical presentation, radiology, diagnostic evaluation, and classification of pleural effusions. There is a chapter on malignant pleural effusions, pleural infections and empyema, rheumatological causes of pleural effusions and tubercular and fungal pleural effusions. Pleural manometry is an important tool in the work-up of a trapped lung and an entire chapter is dedicated to this topic. Another chapter focuses on interventional procedures including pleuroscopy. The last two chapters go over cases of pleural effusions which cover many of the topics covered in the book.  The book compiles recent literature on pleural effusions with an aim to help clinicians manage patients with pleural effusions effectively.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886108979543,"sku":"9781536146837","price":163.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781536146837.jpg?v=1722538848"},{"product_id":"interstitial-lung-disease-causes-diagnosis-and-treatment-9781536162462","title":"Interstitial Lung Disease: Causes, Diagnosis and","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterstitial lung diseases are a diverse group of acute and chronic pulmonary disorders characterized by a variable amount of inflammation and\/or fibrosis. In Interstitial Lung Disease: Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment, the authors explore the role of genetics in the pathogenesis of interstitial lung diseases, as well as develop new diagnostic modalities and identify novel therapeutic targets. This compilation goes on to discuss acute infiltrative lung disease, a heterogeneous group of lung disorders characterized by diffuse parenchymal lung involvement. This group of infiltrative lung diseases may result in five histopathological presentations: diffuse alveolar damage, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, immunoallergic pneumonia, acute organizing pneumonia and acute eosinophilic pneumonia. High-resolution computed tomography is proposed as a more sensitive and accurate method in diagnosing interstitial lung disease through specific patterns which are highly suggestive of a subtype of interstitial pneumonia. High-resolution computed tomography is also proposed for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis, a systemic granulomatous disease which involves the lungs in more than 90% of cases. It is one of the leading causes of interstitial involvement in lung diseases, and its diagnosis is based on compatible clinical, biological, imaging and anatomopathological features. The closing chapter aims to identify diagnostic procedures for the early diagnosis of cardio-pulmonary complications, delineate a proper methodology to monitor complications, and define therapeutic guidelines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrefaceGenetics in Interstitial Lung DiseasesImaging of Acute Infiltrative Lung DiseaseImaging of Idiopathic and Connectivitis-Associated Interstitial PneumoniasLung Sarcoïdosis: Typical and Atypical Features on Computed TomographyCardio-Pulmonary Treatment in Systemic Sclerosis Patients: A Clinical GuideIndex.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886143746391,"sku":"9781536162462","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"trends-in-asthma-research-9781594541483","title":"Trends in Asthma Research","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAsthma is a disease that affects the lungs.

The variation in prevalence rates for racial and ethnic groups probably results from differences in genetic, environmental, social, and cultural influences. Factors affecting increased asthma prevalence include obesity and exposure to environmental irritants. The population has become increasingly sedentary, spending more time indoors where the exposure to allergens, such as mould, dust mites, and cockroach dust, is more prevalent.

Because their respiratory, immune, and nervous systems are still developing, children are especially vulnerable to the health effects of second-hand smoke. In addition, young children typically are exposed to second-hand smoke involuntarily and have limited options for avoiding exposure. They depend on their parents and on adults around them for protection.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886697525591,"sku":"9781606925874","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"acute-lung-injury-epidemiology-health-effects-and-therapeutic-treatment-strategies-9781614704263","title":"Acute Lung Injury: Epidemiology, Health Effects","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, authors review the current knowledge on acute lung injury (ALI). ALI\/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by diffuse alveolar damage, alveolar capillary leakage, lung edema, neutrophil-derived inflammation, and surfactant dysfunction. These changes lead to clinical manifestations of decreased lung compliance, severe hypoxemia, and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates. In the first chapter the authors describe how two different models of multi-causality (intuitively appealing threshold model and abstract sufficient cause model), both of which are commonly used in the description of the etiology of diseases, can be applied to transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) and can both be used to describe the same observed relations between multiple risk factors and TRALI. In the second chapter, a dysfunction of the normal endothelialepithelial barriers and its role in the development of acute lung injury is described. Two leading pathogenic mechanisms of ALI are increased endothelial permeability and reduced alveolar liquid clearance capacity. Understanding of the fundamental mechanisms involved in the regulation of endothelial permeability is essential for the development of barrier protective therapeutic strategies. The following two chapters are focused on novel therapeutic strategies used in the treatment of ALI and more severe form acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Appropriate treatment involves protective lung ventilation, optimal fluid management, and pharmacological treatment. Despite that there are several possibilities of potentially beneficial pharmacotherapy of ALI\/ARDS, the results of experimental and clinical studies are often controversial. The authors review the use of various pharmacological agents (including corticosteroids, neutrophil elastase inhibitors, anticoagulants, pulmonary vasodilators, antioxidants, methylxanthines, exogenous surfactant, gene-therapy, cell therapy, nitric oxide, myorelaxants, beta-agonists) and critically evaluate their effects in animal models and in patients with ALI\/ARDS.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886852059479,"sku":"9781614704263","price":67.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781614704263.jpg?v=1722541875"},{"product_id":"respiratory-diseases-causes-treatment-and-prevention-9781619421103","title":"Respiratory Diseases: Causes, Treatment and","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886927327575,"sku":"9781619421103","price":106.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781619421103.jpg?v=1722542203"},{"product_id":"hypoxia-causes-types-management-9781620817698","title":"Hypoxia: Causes, Types \u0026 Management","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLow oxygenation levels are a hallmark of numerous pathologic conditions.

Half of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) are diagnosed at such an advanced stage that a cure cannot be considered a realistic aim, and over 75% of cases selected for a curative treatment eventually relapse within five years. The 5-year overall survival rates are less than 20% for NSCLC patients. As a disease, NSCLC demands our maximum abilities as researchers, physicians, and care-givers, and a continuous updating of our knowledge. Conventional chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC does not provide a great long-term benefit in terms of survival. Accordingly, a different therapeutic approach has to be explored. The human epidermal growth factor family of surface receptors (HER) became a critical target to be investigated. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is over-expressed in over 80% of non-small cell lung cancer. The presence of sensitising conformational mutations in the EGFR increases the efficacy of modern tyrosine kinase inhibitors against its inner portion (EGFR-TKI). The EGFR-TKIs greatly prolong disease-free survival of those patients harbouring sensitising EGFR mutations, and have been suggested as an essential tool in the therapeutic repertoire. This volume aims to serve as an updated compendium of biology and applications of anti-EGFR therapies, and offers a look at the future of anti-HER therapy in lung cancer. This volume exhaustively reviews and discusses: 1) the nature and significance of activating EGFR mutations, and those clinical and pathological phenomena related to HER alterations; 2) the most common laboratory methodologies to study EGFR, and the future of HER analysis; 3) the right time to analyse EGFR mutations and evolutionary changes in the HER; 4) EGFR-TKI application in unselected and selected NSCLC patients; 5) upcoming anti-HER therapies; 6) the eventual role of anti-HER therapies in early NSCLC; 7) mechanisms of acquired resistance to anti-HER therapies, and experimental and conventional strategies to bypass them; 8) the application of anti-HER therapies in other malignancies.

Although cigarette smoking is the major and best studied causative factor of COPD, there is consistent evidence that a substantial proportion of COPD cases cannot be explained by smoking. Other noxious particles and gases, such as workplace dusts, vapours, fumes or gases, indoor air pollution from burning biomass fuels during cooking foods and heating spaces, and air pollution in urban areas are important risk factors of COPD. According to collected data, 15-20% of COPD cases are likely to be caused or made worse by work; around 4,000 COPD deaths every year are related to workplace exposures, and 40% of COPD patients are below the retirement age. The development of COPD as a consequence of workplace exposure is a matter of growing interest and importance. There is no doubt that certain workplace exposures enhance the risk of COPD and may do so independently of or in concordance with cigarette smoking. The evidence is most coherent for work that entails exposure to coal, silica, welding fumes, cadmium fumes, cotton dust, farming dusts, grain dust and\/or wood dust. The research found consistent associations between workplace exposures and COPD across a wide range of sectors, describing a nearly uniform pattern of exposure-response relationships. Based on the research, affected occupations include miners, construction workers, road workers, tunnel workers, welders, glass workers, metal workers, foundry workers, textile workers, farm laborers, wood workers, chemical workers, and rubber workers; in other words, a working population  including millions and millions workers worldwide have been affected. It seems that occupational risk for COPD, although variable, is smaller compared with that of cigarette smoking. However, it affects a large proportion of the population and its contribution to the total burden of COPD cannot not be neglected. In addition, existing evidence indicates that workplace exposure may influence the course of COPD as factors with significant impacts on the progression and severity of the disease. As in the case of the workplace agents being causative factors of COPD, the mechanisms underlying this effect still are not fully understood.  This monograph contains seven chapters which cover the most important aspects of this issue. It summarizes results of the studies performed in this area of research and conclusions based on them. This monograph also presents the author''s view regarding the influence of workplace exposures on the development and progression of COPD. In addition, it may be a basis for further research for better understanding of the association between COPD and workplace exposures.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887221813591,"sku":"9781634842495","price":83.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781634842495.jpg?v=1722543567"},{"product_id":"cystic-idiopathic-pulmonary-fibrosis-risk-factors-management-long-term-health-outcomes-9781634855082","title":"Cystic \u0026 Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: Risk","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders in the Caucasian population with an estimated incidence of 1 in 2,500 childbirths.
