Book excerpt: "Hypoxaemia is a major contributor to child deaths that occur worldwide each year; for a child with pneumonia hypoxaemia increases the risk of death by up to 5 times. Despite its importance in virtually all types of acute severe illness, hypoxaemia is often not well recognized or well managed, more so in settings where resources are limited. Oxygen therapy remains an inaccessible luxury for a large proportion of severely ill children admitted to hospitals in developing countries. This is particularly true for patients in small district hospitals, where, even if some facility for delivering oxygen is available, supplies are often unreliable and the benefits of treatment may be diminished by poorly maintained, inappropriate equipment or poorly trained staff with inadequate guidelines. Increasing awareness of these problems is likely to have considerable clinical and public health benefits in the care of severely ill children. Health workers should be able to know the clinical signs that suggest the presence of hypoxaemia and have more reliable means of detection of hypoxeamia. This can be achieved through more widespread use of pulse oximetry, which is a non-invasive measure of arterial oxygen saturation. At the same time oxygen therapy must be more widely available; in many remote settings, this can be achieved by use of oxygen concentrators, which can run on regular or alternative sources of power. Having effective systems for the detection and management of hypoxaemia are vital in reducing mortality from pneumonia and other severe acute illnesses. Oxygen therapy is essential to counter hypoxaemia and many times is the difference between life and death. This manual focuses on the availability and clinical use of oxygen therapy in children in health facilities by providing the practical aspects for health workers, biomedical engineers, and administrators. It addresses the need for appropriate detection of hypoxaemia, use of pulse oximetry, clinical use of oxygen and delivery systems and monitoring of patients on oxygen therapy. In addition, the manual addresses practical use of pulse oximetry, and oxygen concentrators and cylinders in an effort to improve oxygen systems worldwide."--Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive reference on diffuse cystic lung diseases (DCLDs). DCLDs are a group of pathophysiologically heterogenous processes that are characterized by the presence of multiple spherical or irregularly shaped, thin-walled, air-filled spaces within the pulmonary parenchyma. In recent years, tremendous advancements have been made in these diseases leading to improved understanding of the underlying pathophysiology, and improved outcomes with targeted therapies. The authors, who are leading experts in the field, delineate DCLDs as a separate category distinct from other interstitial lung diseases, and have created this textbook specifically dedicated to this disease group. This book begins with a chapter introducing the definition and classification of DCLDs. Subsequent chapters address the pathogenic mechanisms underlying pulmonary cyst formation and provide a detailed overview of the radiological and pathological features of DCLDs. The common as well as uncommon causes of DCLDs are comprehensively reviewed in individual chapters, as are the varied clinical presentations and extrapulmonary manifestations, and approaches to management and treatment. The book culminates in a final chapter that presents a practical algorithmic approach to diagnosis that progresses from least invasive to most invasive approaches. This textbook provides a one-stop, comprehensive and integrated, clinical, radiologic, and pathologic overview of DCLDs that will be as useful to the practicing clinician as it is to the clinical investigator.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's embark on a captivating scientific trek as we unravel the enigmas of 25 underrepresented lung disorders in our comprehensive and insightful guidebook. Targeted at kids at the 8th-grade level, each chapter delves into one specific disease, providing you with an in-depth but easily understandable explanation of each. Our journey starts with Chapter 1, dedicated to Khufu's LAM pyramid or "Lymphangioleiomyomatosis". It's a mouthful, isn't it? This is an exceptional lung condition that predominantly affects women, typically during their childbearing years. Next stop, Chapter 2, where we delve deep into PCD - "Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia". This is a unique genetic condition that disrupts the role of teeny, hair-like structures inside our lungs responsible for protecting us against infections. Chapter 3 takes us into the mysterious world of PAP or "Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis". Imagine a substance called a surfactant, crucial for the lungs to function smoothly, ends up invading the tiny air sacs of the lung. That's what we're exploring! In Chapter 4, we illuminate the enigma that is PAH or "Pulmonary Artery Hypertension". This isn't your regular hypertension. This one only affects the arteries in your lungs and the right side of your heart. Our adventure continues until Chapter 25, where we reveal the secrets of DIP or "Desquamative Interstitial Pneumonia". This rarely seen condition involves a process which destroys air sac cells leading to inflammation and scarring. Truly, it's an invigorating journey to the heart of medical science, designed not just for reading, but aimed at making learning a memorable experience. By the time our adventure concludes, you'll have a wealth of knowledge ready to share with classmates, sprinkle into your school project, or simply stun your science teacher. So buckle up, aspiring scientists, for a wild ride into the wonders of lung diseases!
