Summary:

Concise and easy to read, this completely updated new edition correlates basic pathophysiologic principles with the radiologic, pathologic, and clinical aspects of disease to provide an integrated, user-friendly approach to the study of pulmonary medicine. Includes access to a Web-based interactive learning tool box, featuring additional chest radiographs, audio clips of lung sounds, and self-assessment questions that test the reader's ability to apply physiologic principles to quantitative problems, modeled after the questions found on the USMLE. Offers updated coverage of diagnostic modalities used in pulmonary disease, as well as management of asthma, lung cancer, respiratory failure, pulmonary hypertension, and other important pulmonary diseases to help you choose the most effective course of patient treatment. Guides you through the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology relevant to major pulmonary disorders, and then focuses on the clinical aspects and treatment of specific diseases. Presents more than 120 high-quality images that complement the discussion of specific diseases and provide a clear framework for understanding difficult pulmonary concepts. Uses margin notes throughout the text that summarize and highlight critical information for quick review. Features case-based questions covering topics including pulmonary function tests, physiologic data, and results of arterial blood gas testing, that help you apply the material to real-life practice. In print and online, this is an essential resource for mastering the foundations of pulmonary medicine!
