Summary:

Focusing specifically on the interrelationship between the nose and the lungs, this unique reference examines the structural connections between the upper and lower airways and explores the microscopic and gross anatomy of the respiratory tract. Considering functional relationships, as well as human and animal models of disease, this source delivers innovative articles on the pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of allergic airway dysfunction and other illnesses affecting the entire respiratory tract. Supplying more than 1400 current references for in-depth exploration of the topic, Upper and Lower Respiratory Disease reviews and characterizes systemic disease according to involvement of the upper and lower respiratory tracts...analyzes modern treatment regimens for common respiratory disorders...assesses new prevention and management approaches to respiratory disease...and highlights therapeutic options for the treatment of respiratory tract infections.
