Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders(2vols) 5/e

First published in 1980, Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders is the classic textbook through which pulmonary
physicians have gained an understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases and disorders. Written
and
edited by the world's foremost authorities, Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders covers exactly what practicing
clinicians need to know about lung diseases and their management, including sleep-disordered breathing, COPD,
emphysema, and lung cancer, as well as new technological advances and imaging techniques. The fifth edition maintains
the book’s scholarly tradition but has been updated to meet the young physician’s need for quick clinical answers.

This two-volume resource begins with a thorough overview of up-to-date clinical perspectives, along with the
scientific
basis of lung function in health and disease. It then provides information on everything from respiratory disease
signs
and symptoms, to obstructive lung diseases, occupational and environmental disorders, and specific respiratory
conditions such as infectious diseases of the lungs and acute respiratory failure.

New! Includes more than fifty video clips on key topics in respiratory
medicine
