Respiratory diseases affect millions of people each year and represent a major health burden around the world. This timely reference surveys and evaluates the drug treatments available for the main categories of lung diseases including asthma, tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, and respiratory infections. The recent re-emergence of tuberculosis and the increase in asthma in certain populations underlines the importance of finding effective new treatments for these diseases. This publication, a comprehensive reference, is one of the first to survey current and novel drug treatments for this group of diseases. It is certain to establish itself as an essential source of reference for respiratory physicians, clinicians and clinical pharmacologists.

Présenté sous la forme de fiches détaillées , cet ouvrage décrit les principales classes pharmacologiques utilisées dans le domaine des pathologies cardiovasculaires et respiratoires. Pour chacune de ces classes, chaque fiche comporte les points suivants : les rappels physiopathologiques ; les principales molécules ; les mécanismes d'action ; la pharmacodynamie et les effets utiles en clinique ; les principales caractéristiques pharmacocinétiques ; les sources de variabilité de la réponse ; les effets indésirabes ; les contre-indications ; la surveillance des effets ; la synthèse sous forme d'encadré. Pratique , cet livre offre au lecteur une vision claire d'une classe pharmacologique en quelques pages et les connaissances indispensables sur son utilisation selon le contexte physiopathologique du patient . Cette 2e édition propose une actualisation des contenus et l'introduction des nouveaux médicaments mis sur le marché.

The last decade or so has seen remarkable advances in our knowledge of cough. This applies especially to its basic mechanisms: the types of airway sensors, the phar- cological receptors on their membranes, the brainstem organization of the ‘cough centre’, and the involvement of the cerebral cortex in the sensations and the vol- tary control of cough. With the exception of the last of these, nearly all the studies have been on experimental animals rather than humans, for obvious reasons. One group of experimental studies has particular relevance to human patients, and that is the demonstration of the sensitization of cough pathways both in the periphery and in the brainstem. Similar sensitizations have been shown for patients with chronic cough or who have been exposed to pollutants, and it is reasonable to suppose that this is the basis of their cough and that the underlying mechanisms are generally similar in humans and other species. Important advances are also being made in clinical cough research. For the three main causes of clinical cough, asthma, post-nasal drip syndrome, and gast- oesophageal re?ux disease, we are beginning to understand the pathological processes involved. There remains a diagnostically obdurate group of idiopathic chronic coughers, but even for them approaches are being devised to clarify und- lying mechanisms and to establish diagnoses. Perhaps surprisingly, the ?eld in which there has been the least spectacular - vance is the therapy of cough.
