Pulmonary disease diagnosis and therapy

The authors cover the most common pulmonary problems encountered daily. The extensive section on the interpretation of chest radiographs will be a "breath of fresh air" for any resident, internist, or family physician who has tried to find such essential information elsewhere.

This handbook also provides extensive coverage of: *Pulmonary function testing; *Asthma, restrictive lung disease; *Bacterial pneumonia; *Acute respiratory distress syndrome; *Acid-base disorders; *Lung cancer and the solitary pulmonary nodule.
