People age 65 and older are the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population.  In the 2010 census 16% of the population, 50 million people, were age 65 and older.  That number is projected to increase to 66 million by the year 2050.  Life expectancy has also increased, with recent CDC reports indicating life expectancy at 77.9 years.  Age-adjusted death rates have decreased significantly with the largest changes occurring in older patients.  Despite these trends, the 10 leading causes of death include several pulmonary etiologies including lung cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, influenza and pneumonia. Aging and Lung Disease: A Clinical Guide  is devoted to understanding the impact of respiratory diseases in older patients.  It includes reviews of physiology of the aging lung, allergy and immunology of the aging, as well as sleep changes over the life cycle.  There are also comprehensive reviews on specific disease topics including chronic obstructive lung disease, lung cancer, atypical mycobacteria, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary embolism, obstructive sleep apnea, and sleep disorders in older patients.  Two chapters focus on unique issues in older patients; HIV and lung transplant. Included also are important chapters on assessing functional and cognitive status and end-of-life issues in older patients with lung disease.  In addition to outlining the current state of knowledge, each chapter focuses on special considerations when caring for older patients.  Of particular interest to pulmonologists, internists, and gerontologists, other readers, such as pulmonary and geriatric nurse practitioners, as well as clinical researchers interested in both pulmonary and aging issues, will find Aging and Lung Disease: A Clinical Guide to be a vital resource for improving their care of older patients with lung disorders.

Cet ouvrage est consacré à l'ensemble des manifestations dermatologiques observées au cours des diverses maladies d'organes. Une segmentation des chapitres en fonction du type d'organe atteint a été faite de façon volontairement académique : glandes endocrines (thyroïde, parathyroïdes, surrénales, hypophyse, pancréas endocrine) - section à laquelle a été rattaché le chapitre consacré aux carences nutritionnelles -, appareil digestif (tube digestif, foie et voies biliaires, pancréas), appareil cardiovasculaire et pulmonaire (cœur, poumons, vaisseaux artériels, veineux et lymphatiques), rein et système nerveux central et périphérique. Les chapitres consacrés aux maladies rares d'organes où la présence de signes dermatologiques est pertinente et utile au diagnostic, sont volontairement détaillés et illustrés, afin de faciliter leur mémorisation. L'ouvrage réalisé par un collectif d'auteurs dermatologues et spécialistes est abondamment illustré. Il s'adresse non seulement aux dermatologues, aux médecins internistes, aux spécialistes d'organe mais aussi à l'ensemble des professionnels concernés par la médecine interne.

Imaging of the pediatric chest continues to evolve rapidly. All chapters in this 2nd edition of Pediatric Chest Imaging have been extensively updated, with additional disease-specific information and numerous new illustrations. The book thus presents the state of the art in the diagnosis of pediatric chest disorders, highlighting the role played by advanced technology. As the conventional features of most of these disorders are extremely well known, special attention is devoted to the technical aspects of the modern imaging modalities, their indications, and the diagnostic information that they supply. Individual chapters focus on chest ultrasound, nuclear medicine imaging, high-resolution chest CT, helical CT, and pediatric cardiac CT and pediatric cardiacMRI. Others are directed towards specific disorders, including congenital malformations of the chest, chest tumors, pulmonary infection, trauma, the lung in systemic diseases, the pediatric airway, foreign bodies, the thymus, and the chest wall. Without exception, the authors of this book are internationally known specialists with great expertise in the field. This book will serve as a handy, superbly illustrated reference for all who routinely image children, as well as for those who need access to information on how best to image them!
