Hvad er KOL? Hvordan virker sygdommen?KOL er én af de hyppigste kroniske sygdomme i Danmark, og det estimeres, at ca. 300.000 danskere lider af sygdommen. Denne bog om en af de store folkesygdomme er skrevet til alle, der har KOL inde på livet og ønsker at blive klogere på sygdommens væsen.Som patient og pårørende kan det være svært at håndtere den påvirkning, som KOL har på hverdagen.I HVAD ER KOL? oplyser professor og lungemedicinsk overlæge Peter Lange om al den viden, vi har om KOL i dag på en måde, så både fagpersoner og den almene læser kan være med. Bogen behandler i 19 selvstændige kapitler bl.a. følgende områder:– Symptomer– Diagnostik– Udvikling og forløb– Årsager, herunder rygning og ydre påvirkning– Konsekvenser– Sværhedsgrad og prognose– Behandlingsformer og -strategierBogen kan læses fra ende til anden for en grundig indføring, og den kan fungere som opslagsværk for specifik viden, ligesom sygehistorier og nøglereferencer undervejs giver læseren mulighed for at dykke yderligere ned i den KOL-ramtes udfordringer og muligheder.Om Peter LangePeter Lange arbejder som lungemedicinsk overlæge på Herlev og Gentofte Hospital og i sin speciallægepraksis i Kongens Lyngby. Han har i mange år været med til at formidle viden om lungesygdomme gennem ansættelser i Ugeskrift for Læger, Læge- og Patienthåndbogen og Dansk Lægemiddelinformation (promedicin.dk og minmedicin.dk). Siden han blev uddannet som læge i 1985, har han været involveret i lungemedicinsk forskning, blandt andet som forskningsprofessor ved Københavns Universitet. Peter Lange er medforfatter til flere hundrede lægevidenskabelige artikler, herunder nogle af de mest citerede artikler om udvikling og forløb af KOL og astma. I løbet af hans kliniske virke har han været med til at udbrede lungerehabilitering i Danmark og til at etablere Dansk Register for KOL.

Chest sonography is an established procedure in the stepwise imaging diagnosis of pulmonary and pleural disease. It is the method of choice to distinguish between solid and liquid lesions and allows the investigator to make an unequivocal diagnosis without exposing the patient to costly and stressful procedures. This book presents the state of the art in chest investigation by means of ultrasonography. A number of excellent illustrations and the compact text provide concise and easy-to-assimilate information about the diagnostic procedure. Basic elements such as indications, investigation techniques and image artifacts are detailed in separate chapters.

This book aims to give a comprehensive overview of the current challenges and solution posed to the health care professionals who need to use mechanical ventilation to treat their patients.Mechanical ventilation is a cornerstone of the treatment of critically ill patients, as also dramatically underlined by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The topic is not simple to approach, since it requires integration of multiple data which, in turn, result from complex interplays between patient's condition and ventilatory settings. While technological development empowered advanced monitoring and decision support, these also increase the burden of data on the practitioners. Furthermore, considering that sometimes mechanical ventilation is seen under two, apparently opposite, approaches, "e;physiology vs. protocols"e;, the book aims to reconcile these two aspects. And this has been done by each author following the above trajectory in their chapters. The exposure of the topic begins from the "e;pathophysiology"e; (i.e. the "e;physiology of the disease"e;) so that the reader can better understand the concept and rationale of any given approach. At the same time, any rationale or hypothesis (for as much as supported by physiology) must hold at the proof of clinical research and evidence, which is summarized in each chapter.In summary, the purposes is that the readers understand not only which is the best clinical practice to adopt but also why and which mechanisms this is based upon and how to approach a novel issue they might encounter. The book - addressed to physicians, nurses and respiratory therapist - features chapters on "e;novel"e; or "e;hot"e; topics like, obviously, COVID-19, ECMO, but also MV in low resource setting.

This book presents state-of-the-art pre-clinical models and clinical applications of stem-cell-based therapies applied to different lung diseases, with a special focus on the translation of bench data into clinical studies. Starting with the assumption that abnormal lung tissue repair and regeneration has emerged as the driving force underlying pathogenesis and progression in many lung diseases, it sheds new light on the potential of stem/stromal cells as drivers of repair and sources of reparative factors in the lung. The first part of the book offers an overview of stem cell types and mechanisms involved in lung development, homeostasis, repair and regeneration, and reveals the crucial role of the extracellular matrix within the lung microenvironment. In the second part, leading experts present the latest pre-clinical evidence and clinical applications of stem-cell-based therapies in a wide variety of lung diseases, ranging from COPD and lung fibrosis to other rare lung diseases. The last section discusses stem cell delivery systems and devices, such as aerosolised spray application.This book appeals to pneumologists, stem cell and matrix biologists, as well as bioengeneers with a special interest in regenerative medicine applied to pulmonary diseases.
