Book SynopsisThe health-related effects of asbestos have long been mired in controversy, with industry and plaintiff attorneys playing a significant role. This comprehensive book provides a balanced and extensive evidence-based critical analysis of the literature concerning asbestos-related diseases, from a scientific and historical perspective. The book presents a carefully referenced review of the medical literature on the health effects of asbestos, and reflects the extensive experience of the author in evaluating patients with asbestos-related disorders.Trade Review"What Dr. Smith outlines as an evidence-based approach is likely as relevant to other key toxic materials as it is to asbestos. His first chapter, devoted to reading and finding truth in the medical scientific literature, is instructive in many fields. An understanding of the health effects of asbestos has remained as refractory as the mineral itself. I'll return to these pages many times, as much to understand how we have proceeded, as to review the specific health-related effects of asbestos." - J.

Book SynopsisNon-Invasive Ventilation involves the use of a mask to assist breathing for patients who can’t breathe for themselves, providing an alternative to invasive ventilation, which involves the insertion of a tracheal tube into the throat of an unconscious patient. It can be used for many problems involving breathing difficulties such as lung disease and sleep apnoea. This book provides a clear practical guide to medical practitioners on how to make use of NIV under various conditions. The approach is very applied and easy to understand. New additions for this second edition include chapters on cough assist devices and non-invasive ventilation at home, and an expansion of the chapters on long-term ventilation and physiotherapy.

Book SynopsisDocuments both environmental and work-related causes of lung disease Unlike other books on the subject, this new volume approaches occupational and environmental lung disease from the starting point of the patient who comes to the physician with respiratory symptoms. The authors recognize that potentially harmful exposures occur not only in the work environment, but also as a result of hobbies or other leisure activities, or from outdoor air pollution, and it is up the physician to identify whether a particular job or hobby is the cause of the patient's respiratory symptoms. To help you arrive at a differential diagnosis, chapters in the book are arranged by job or exposure, and are divided into 5 sections: Personal environment Home environment Other indoor environments Work environment General environment Each is written by an expert in the sTrade Review"Occupational health physicians will find it an invaluable resource for clinical practice."

Book SynopsisThe Textbook of Influenza is a comprehensive resource covering all aspects of influenza, from the genetic and molecular biology of the virus through to clinical aspects of the disease and the latest drug developments and treatments. This new edition has been completely revised and reflects the integration of disciplines concerning the emergence, evolution, pathogenesis and control of influenza viruses in the field of human and veterinary public health. Textbook of Influenza examines the lessons learnt from the latest pandemic and provides the current state of knowledge for many yet unresolved issues related to virus origin, spread, pathogenesis and disease severity to better prepare for future pandemics. It covers the background to recent advances in influenza genomics and reverse genetics which have allowed the identification of virus virulence factors and the analysis and reconstruction of influenza viruses such as the 1918 Spanish flu strain.

Book SynopsisWhy does tuberculosis, a disease which is both curable and preventable, continue to produce over 50,000 new cases a year in South Africa, primarily among blacks? In answering this question Randall Packard traces the history of one of the most devastating diseases in twentieth-century Africa, against the background of the changing political and economic forces that have shaped South African society from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. These forces have generated a growing backlog of disease among black workers and their families and at the same time have prevented the development of effective public health measures for controlling it. Packard's rich and nuanced analysis is a significant contribution to the growing body of literature on South Africa's social history as well as to the history of medicine and the political economy of health.

Book SynopsisThis book has become the standard reference text on respiratory diseases in children. It has been extensively revised and updated to encompass the latest developments, and there are now specific chapters on obstructive sleep apnoea and the lung in HIV infection. The biggest revisions to existing chapters are in those on growth and development, respiratory noises, cough and pulmonary consequences of inhalation. The clinical approach in this book is strongly based on an understanding of epidemiology, pathophysiology and increasingly, molecular biology. This fourth edtition brings a stronger theoretical basis to the clinical practice that has been one of the strengths of previous edtitions.Table of Contents1: Lung Growth and Development;. 2: Neonatal Respiratory Disorders;. 3: Epidemiology of Acute Respiratory Infections;. 4: Clinical Patterns of Acute Respiratory Infection;. 5: Respiratory Noises;. 6: Asthma - Pathogenesis, Pathophysiology and Epidemiology;. 7: Asthma - Clinical Patterns and Management;. 8: Cough;. 9: Suppurative Lung Disease;. 10: Cystic Fibrosis;. 11: Pulmonary Complications of Inhalation;. 12: Tuberculosis in Childhood;. 13: Lung Defences and Infection in the Compromised Host;. 14: The Lung and HIV Infection;. 15: Miscellaneous Lung Diseases;. 16: Obstructive Sleep Apnoea;. 17: Congenital Malformations of the Bronchi, Lungs, Diaphragm and Rib Cage;. 18: Tumours of the Chest Wall, Mediastinum and Lungs;.
