from acute respiratory diseases to chronic lung conditions,
pulmonology is a vital area of clinical medicine. Due to a
wide array of respiratory diseases, clinical presentation
of pulmonary conditions can be complex and oftentimes challenging.
in addition to recognizing common characteristics of lung diseases,
identifying unusual clinical presentation of pulmonary conditions remains
an important educational experience. This concise and easy-to-read
title provides that experience in practical context, using a
case-based system of learning where a unique case is presented and
discussed and questions are provided to challenge the learner and
reinforce the transmission of knowledge. Challenging cases in pulmonology
is not an exhaustive review but rather focuses on common and important
problems, with emphasis on evaluation and treatment. The book offers 16
chapters consisting of two or more cases followed by five to ten multiple
choice questions. A valuable resource for pulmonologists, allergists,
primary care physicians, internal medicine, fellows in allergy and
pulmonology, and residents in training, this practical title will
also be of interest to nurses, physician assistants, and medical
students studying pulmonology. Challenging cases in pulmonology
complements two previously published case-based titles edited by dr.
mahmoudi: challenging cases in allergy and immunology
(humana press, 2009) and challenging cases in allergic and
immunologic diseases of the skin (springer, 2010).
