Synopsis

Now in its Fifth Edition, Crofton and Douglas's Respiratory Diseases has firmly established itself as the leading clinical textbook on diseases of the chest. Presented, for the first time, as a two-volume set, this classic text has been completely rewritten and greatly expanded. Extensive revisions ensure that these volumes present an up-to-date review of all aspects of lung disease. The contributions of some 18 leading authorities ensure that each area is comprehensively covered and new to this edition are chapters on the genetics of lung disease, smoking, air pollution, sleep apnoea, diving, lung transplantation and medico-legal aspects. The changes in content reflect the pace of change in the areas concerned not only in terms of understanding of the disease processes but also their treatment. The single chapter on asthma that appeared in previous editions, has now been expanded into three chapters covering epidemiology, mechanisms and management, reflecting the enormous research effort currently underway following a marked increase in the incidence of this disease in recent years. This new edition continues to provide an excellent reference both for the trainee and specialist in respiratory medicine, as well as the general physician. It will be extremely useful on the ward and in the office, where clinical problems arise and questions are asked which need clear answers.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

With the publication of his Textbook of Dermatology, the [late] Arthur Rook established it as the most comprehensive work of reference available to the dermatologist. Subsequent editions have been expanded as the subject has developed and the book remains the ultimate source of clinical information for the trainee and practising dermatologist alike. Two new editors (Drs Burns and Breathnach) have been brought to the team from complementary backgrounds in clinical practice and research. Dr Burns is a former editor of the British Journal of Dermatology.
The sixth edition contains three new chapters on epidemiology, molecular biology and wound healing. In addition, the chapter on physical and surgical therapies has been divided into two separate chapters to reflect the development of techniques such as laser treatment and chemical peels.
