Book excerpt: There has been a recent explosion of knowledge in the field of respiratory genetics. This authoritative text brings together current knowledge in respiratory genetics in a single volume. The book includes a comprehensive introductory section to provide guidance and aid understanding of key basic concepts in respiratory genetics, including statistical methods, sample collection, bioinformatics, and functional genomics. This is followed by a series of disease-specific chapters that review epidemiology, natural history, monogenic determinants, complex disease components, disease management, and likely future developments. Respiratory Genetics is an essential reference for pulmonologists, translational researchers, and clinical geneticists, and the text will also be a useful library reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using illustrative case examples, this book thoroughly reviews similarities and differences between asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the overlap syndrome. It is important to highlight the distinctions because these commonly encountered conditions in respiratory and primary care share many similarities but have important differences often mistaken for each other. This can have serious implications for treatment, particularly as new treatments are targeted at specific phenotypes of the diseases. This practical guide shows how to distinguish between the diseases on a pathological and clinical basis so that appropriate management and treatment may be pursued.

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 up-to-date resource offers a comprehensive overview of the genetic bases of asthma - examining key pathways, animal models, molecular and genetic techniques, and human genetic studies and furnishing the latest results on genetic analyses involving atopy, human immunoglobulin E (IgE), bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and asthma. Discussing fundamental issues essential in the development of asthma, The Genetics of Asthma describes basic mechanisms that are altered by genetic factors...provides state-of-the-art concepts on the molecular basis of asthma...presents new insights based on traditional animal models and genetically altered mice...explains techniques for conducting genetic studies and statistical approaches for genetic analysis...supplies a critical assessment of issues associated with phenotyping...gives results of human studies on the genetics of asthma...and much more. With over 1900 bibliographic citations and more than 100 explanatory tables, drawings, and photographs, The Genetics of Asthma is an ideal reference for pulmonologists, clinical immunologists, and allergists, physiologists, geneticists, lung biologists, epidemiologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, internists, pediatricians, and graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.

Book excerpt: The clinical specificities developed in this book, particularly from those reported in the pediatric population to those reported in complex shapes at ACOS patients, emphasize the importance of identifying not only biomarkers but also critical aspects regarding the variability in pharmacogenomics responsible for the individual response to the different drugs on the therapeutic plan. The contribution of several well-known specialists with their profound knowledge inherent to this issue into different age groups and socio geographical contexts has resulted in this interesting book with relevant key contents in asthma.
