Acute and Chronic Cough(Lung Biology in Health and Disease)

A comprehensive review of the scientific and clinical aspects of acute and
chronic cough, this reference focuses on recent developments in our
understanding of the molecular biology of putative cough receptors, the neural
mechanisms involved in the afferent and efferent limbs, the central processing
of the cough reflex, and peptides and other substances that may mediate or
modulate the cough reflex.
With chapters by acknowledged authorities in the field, this handbook covers
current and potential therapeutic agents, various methodologies to measure
cough reflex sensitivity, and clinical approaches for the assessment of chronic
cough in adults and children.
