Outcomes in Clinical Trials
Authors : Martin Kolb, Claus F. Vogelmeier
Edition : 1
Year : 2013
Description :
Edited by Martin Kolb and Claus F. Vogelmeier
The traditional end-points for clinical studies of lung diseases were based on functional parameters. Their value as surrogate markers for disease activity and progression has been increasingly questioned by scientists, carers, regulatory agencies and funding bodies. Novel tools and methods with regard to biomarkers and patient-reported outcomes have made these parameters emerge from their status as interesting secondary end-points and become potential primary outcomes for clinical trials. Nevertheless, their relevance and validity still needs to be proven. This issue of the European Respiratory Monograph describes the current status regarding end-points in all relevant areas of pulmonary medicine.

The respiratory tract is conventionally divided into the upper and lower airways. Although the two airways have distinctfunctions and are managed by different specialists, they also share many physiological and immunologicalcharacteristics. Problems of the nose and sinuses can impact on the lungs; conversely, lower respiratory tract disorders can affect the upper airways. This has given rise to the concept of “united airways disease”, and understanding the relationships between the mechanisms, epidemiology and treatment of upper and lower airways disorders is crucial as new therapeutic options become available. This ERS Monograph presents a comprehensive overview of the nose and sinuses in respiratory disorders, starting with chapters covering basic anatomy, histology and immunology, together with recent developments in imaging techniques and practical clinical examination. Other chapters focus on specific associations with cystic fibrosis (CF), infection and exacerbations, nasal polyposis and asthma, COPD, non-CF bronchiectasis and primary ciliary dyskinesia, and air pollution in chronic diseases. The “united airways” are further discussed in terms of the impact of optimal upper airways treatment on lower airways inflammation and current guidelines to aid all physicians, especially ENT specialists and chest physicians, in clinical practice.
Contents list
- 1. Upper and lower airways: the same tissue?
- 2. How to explore the nose in respiratory disorders in 2017: a one-stop clinic?
- 3. Imaging the nose and sinuses in respiratory disorders
- 4. Nasal and sinus problems in cystic fibrosis patients
- 5. Infections in the nose and exacerbations of chronic respiratory disorders
- 6. Nasal polyposis and asthma: the otorhinolaryngologist's view
- 7. Nasal polyposis and asthma: the chest physician's view
- 8. Nasal polyposis and asthma: a mechanistic paradigm focusing on Staphylococcus aureus
- 9. The nose and sinuses in COPD

The field of acute exacerbations in chronic respiratory disease is challenging: definitions of acute exacerbations differ amongst the diseases and their severity has proven difficult to define. The Guest Editors of this Monograph tackle this challenging area by bringing together articles from internationally recognised experts in the field of acute exacerbationsin chronic lung diseases. The book is separated into three sections: the first considers the definition, severity and consequences of exacerbations in each disease; the second looks at exacerbation triggers; and the third discusses the treatment and prevention of exacerbations using pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. The book’s structure allows comparisons between the definitions, short- and long-term consequences, triggers and therapeutic management of different respiratory diseases. It serves as a complete reference that raises awareness about the importance of acute exacerbations in patients with chronic lung diseases.

Clinical Management of Pulmonary Disorders and Diseases
Authors : Mieczyslaw Pokorski (eds.)
Edition : 1
Year : 2017
Description :
The book endeavors to provide a stimulating and thought provoking scientific content to share and exchange new clinical studies and advancements in dealing with pulmonary diseases. The topics vary from clinical to translational research in respiratory diseases such as lung cancer, obstructive sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bacterial and fungal infections, lung lesions during febrile maladies, and others. An attempt has been made to show the intertwined relationship between the pulmonary system and other body systems such as kidney, cardiac, or hormonal functions. The ensuing interlocked morbidities, often exacerbating one another, require the coordination of various medical specialties to optimize the diagnostic and therapeutic processes. The knowledge sharing through publications of research and clinical experiences is indispensable to accelerate the innovation spectrum and to continue working on the therapeutic and preventive strategies in chronic pulmonary diseases. The book is addressed to pulmonologists, chest physicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals engaged in patient care.

Allergy and Respiration
Authors : Mieczyslaw Pokorski (eds.)
Edition : 1
Year : 2016
Description :
Allergy is an increasing health issue. It often targets the respiratory tract and entwines with respiratory ailments, which makes it difficult to discern the cause-effect linkage. Nonetheless, measures to counter the allergic background are a linchpin in preserving respiratory health. This book is an update on current advances in clinical and basic science on allergy and related topics. The diagnostics of allergy requires a multidisciplinary approach, including molecular examinations aimed at unraveling the intracellular control cascades. Chapters give insight into the innovations concerning modern pulmonary function tests, discuss pharmacological paradigms, and tackle the overlapping infectious aspects and clinical symptoms and markers. Environmental and genetic factors elicit a spectrum of inflammatory phenotypes linked to differential body responses to allergic perturbations. The book is intended for healthcare professionals, notably pulmonologists, primary care physicians, and medical researchers.
