Respiratory System and Artificial Ventilation

Respiratory System and Artificial Ventilation
By Umberto Lucangelo, Paolo Pelosi, Andrea Aliverti, Walter A. Zin, A. Gullo


Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 300
Publication Date: 2007-12-20
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 884700764X
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9788847007642
Binding: Paperback

Book Description:

Respiratory system and artificial ventilation are key topics when considering the main aspects of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine: assisted ventilation techniques are essential to preserve the patients life, but just as any other treatments they can be also extremely pernicious.

Scientific research and clinical evidences are equally fundamental in investigating the best methods to provide effective support and increase positive outcomes. It is obviously desirable that this knowledge and know-how are widely shared among scientists and practitioners.

With this purpose, the book includes contributions by an international panel of authors and gathers their varied and valuable expertise up to illustrate principles, study results and case experiences on respiratory physiopathology, respiratory mechanics, respiratory functions monitoring, artificial ventilation and diagnostic radiology in respiratory dysfunction failure.

We trust it can represent a precious reference for professionals in their ongoing self-improvement process to increase skilfulness. Furthermore, we hope that this book can serve as a useful learning tool for medical students and can contribute to the education of future anaesthesiologists and intensivists.

The Resolution of Inflammation

by Adriano G. Rossi, Deborah A. Sawatzky

Publisher: Birkhäuser Basel
Number Of Pages: 238
Publication Date: 2008-02-06
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3764375051
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783764375058
Binding: Hardcove

Product Description:

Much progress has been made in elucidating the mechanisms regulating the induction and progression of inflammatory diseases. More recently, however, it has become apparent that the manipulation of mechanisms governing the resolution of inflammation is an important way to develop novel strategies for the therapy of such diseases. This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive view on the resolution of inflammation and on new developments in this area (e.g. pro-resolution mediators, apoptosis, macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells, possible novel drug developments) . The chapters are written by leading scientists in the field.
This topical volume is of interest to medical and scientific researchers in academia and industry working on inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases such as arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, atherosclerosis, and more.
