A comprehensive review of the scientific and clinical aspects of
acute and chronic cough, this reference focuses on recent
developments in our understanding of the molecular biology of
putative cough receptors, the neural mechanisms involved in the
afferent and efferent limbs, the central processing of the cough
reflex, and peptides and other substances that may mediate or
modulate the cough reflex. With chapters written by acknowledged
authorities in the field, this handbook covers current and
potential therapeutic agents, various methodologies to measure
cough reflex sensitivity, and clinical approaches for the
assessment of chronic cough in adults and children.
