The Second Edition of Asthma and COPD: Basic Mechanisms and Clinical Management continues

recent understanding of the basic mechanisms of both conditions, specifically comparing
their etiology, pathogenesis, and treatments. * Each chapter considers Asthma and
COPD in side-by-side contrast and comparison - not in isolation - in the context of
mechanism, triggers, assessments, therapies, and clinical management. Presents the
latest and most comprehensive understandings of the mechanisms of inflammation in
both Asthma and COPD. Most extensive reference to primary literature on both Asthma
and COPD in one source. Easy-to-read summaries of the latest advances alongside clear
