Inhaltsangabe

Essentials of Respiratory Pathology is a comprehensive, clinically oriented textbook covering the major disorders of the respiratory system from basic anatomy and physiology through inflammatory, infectious, obstructive, interstitial, occupational, vascular, neoplastic, pleural, and mediastinal diseases.

The book is designed to connect pathogenesis, morphology, clinical presentation, investigations, diagnosis, complications, management, and prognosis, making it useful for both systematic study and clinical reference.

The opening chapters establish the foundations of respiratory pathology, including respiratory anatomy, pulmonary physiology, lung volumes and capacities, pulmonary function testing, arterial blood gas analysis, abnormal patterns of respiration, and mechanical ventilation.

The disease sections provide structured coverage of:

• Upper respiratory tract disorders
• Nasal, paranasal sinus, pharyngeal and laryngeal diseases
• Tracheal and bronchial disorders
• COPD, chronic bronchitis and emphysema
• Asthma and bronchiectatic disorders
• Bacterial, viral, fungal and opportunistic pulmonary infections
• Tuberculosis and other major respiratory infections
• Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias and diffuse parenchymal lung diseases
• Sarcoidosis and eosinophilic lung diseases
• Hypersensitivity pneumonitis and occupational lung diseases
• Pneumoconioses and toxic inhalational injuries
• ARDS, pulmonary edema, alveolar hemorrhage and atelectasis
• Pulmonary embolism and pulmonary hypertension
• Primary pulmonary neoplasms
• Pleural diseases and pleural tumours
• Mediastinal diseases and mediastinal neoplasms

Particular attention is given to histopathology, disease mechanisms, clinicopathological correlation, diagnostic investigations, differential diagnosis, complications, and prognostic factors. The neoplastic sections also incorporate modern concepts in tumour classification, immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology.

This book is intended for medical students, pathology residents, pulmonology and respiratory medicine trainees, practicing clinicians, and healthcare professionals seeking a structured reference to respiratory pathology.

Whether used for systematic learning, examination preparation, or clinical revision, Essentials of Respiratory Pathology provides a single-volume overview of the diseases affecting the respiratory tract, lungs, pleura, and mediastinum.
