Description
Now available in its Third Edition, Asthma: Basic Mechanisms and Clinical Management has become the reference
text in asthma. This highly successful text sheds new light on the basic physiological and molecular mechanisms of asthma, how current
treatments work, and how best to apply the latest knowledge to control this important disease. The Third Edition has undergone radical
revision and includes several new chapters. It retains the virtues of the previous volumes by bringing together all of the recent research
findings by internationally recognized experts on the causative mechanisms of asthma, including in-depth clinical aspects and therapy.
The book presents an integrated approach toward the treatment of this disease with new concepts, changes in asthma management, and the
development of new therapeutic agents. Asthma provides extensive references for researchers and clinicians who need
to keep abreast of recent developments in this rapidly expanding field.
Audience
Researchers, teachers, and clinicians in asthma and respiratory medicine in universities, medical schools, and industry. Undergraduates and postgraduates in medicine and science.
