The Lung: Development, Aging and the Environment, Third Edition provides an understanding of the multifaceted nature of lung development, aging and the environment influences of these processes. As an essential resource to respiratory, pulmonary and thoracic scientists and physicians, this book provides an interface between the "normal" and "disease" cluster of chapters, allowing for a natural complement. The interface between different lung diseases affecting the pediatric lung also adds a useful source for comparing how different lung diseases share key pathophysiological features. This same complementarity comes across in the logical line up of chapters dealing with the "normal" pediatric lung. New research, including cell-based strategies for infant lung function, epigenetics and prenatal environmental exposure (including wildfires) on lung development and function are some of the important additions to this edition of this reference work.

Lung cancer is the second most diagnosed cancer and remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. The high mortality is largely the consequence of late diagnosis; lung cancer is typically asymptomatic in early stages when a surgical cure is most likely.  As a result, there has been great interest in and research on early detection of lung cancer through screening.nbsp;   There is evidence for reduced disease-specific mortality through screening for lung cancer. However, creating an integrated, systematic approach to lung cancer screening remains a challenge for providers. A successful lung cancer screening program weighs the benefits and harms of screening, clearly defines the target population and the screening process, and does not exclude eligible patient populations based on race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status, In addition it should promote shared decision-making and address risk reduction.  Lung Cancer Screening: Essentials for Primary Care provides a comprehensive and pragmatic guide to screening for lung cancer in real world clinical practice. The first two chapters summarize the epidemiology, risk factors and disparities in lung cancer, and provide the evidence base for screening for lung cancer. The disparities in lung cancer among different groups within the US population are well known. This text highlights how health disparities in lung cancer affect screening and have led to modification of lung cancer screening guidelines. Subsequent chapters provide a guide to implementing a successful lung cancer screening program and address the barriers that arise during implementation. The book concludes withreal-world solutions to overcoming barriers in lung cancer screening.nbsp; This pocket guide is an essential read and bookshelf reference for providers who do not have the specialized knowledge of screening for lung cancer. It also appeals to pulmonologists, fellows in Pulmonary Medicine, chest radiologists, and advanced practice providers with an interest in setting up lung cancer screening in any clinical practice.nbsp;

Volume two of Clinical Examination and Applied Medicine: Pulmonology deals with arterial blood gases, pulmonary function tests, respiratory failure and radiology, and a picture quiz with multiple-choice questions related to pulmonology.Numerous diagrams and figures have been included to stimulate understanding and learning. It is complemented by volume one which includes the foundations of respiratory examination and applied medicine along with pathophysiological principles, differential diagnosis, and clinical interpretations.The brief facts given with each image will help answer most bedside queries and problems and will serve as an indispensable resource for preparation of undergraduate and postgraduate examinations. The book is a collection of facts and relevant details in the clinical assessment of patients with respiratory disorders. It should be complemented with volume one of Clinical Examination and Applied Medicine: Pulmonology to learn the skills and foundations in respiratory examination and bedside assessment of the patients.

This is the second in the series of books dealing simultaneously with examination technique, detail pathophysiological principles, differential diagnosis and clinical interpretation, along with applied medicine about the common respiratory diseases.Medical students or postgraduates will learn history taking, clinical examination and find relevant applied medical knowledge needed for bedside assessment of the patient. This book will guide towards a correct diagnosis by history and examination, as well as provide relevant differential diagnosis, localize the disease, and identify the cause. It will fill this gap and inspire the reader to gain confidence not only in the performance of the examination but also to answer most bedside queries and problems and will serve as an indispensable resource for preparation of undergraduate and postgraduate viva and short and long case examination.
