Product Information
The underlying disease processes and their prognosis for diffuse parenchymal lung diseases have currently been subject to significant research. For example, until recently the only identifiable treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has been successful lung transplant. However, the latest published research gives hope of alternative treatments. Providing reviews of the published medical literature of the past year, this book summarizes some of the most important new developments. It includes a literature review section that is a useful guide to a wider range of related papers from the same period. The book enables readers to quickly become up to date on the latest developments in this field.Product Identifiers
