Lung ventilation is driven by a complex neural regulatory network,
and apart from conditions typically observed during a disease
state, it is sensitive to functional dysregulation. This book
focuses on a wide variety of pulmonary topics including
inflammation, infection, cancerogenesis, hypoxia, and stress. The
chapters deal with the pathophysiologic background of processes and
mechanisms whereby abnormal or undesired conditions develop and
progress. The exemplary topics concern the genotyping of mutations
involved in the development of lung cancer, which helps target
molecular anticancer therapy, or the advances in computed
tomography technology employed in pulmonary diagnostics. Functional
cardio-respiratory changes associated with a particular disease or
resulting from disease, or dysautonomic state due to affective
disorder or hypokinesia of spaceflight microgravity also are
tackled. The book is intended for medical researchers and
clinicians, notably pulmonologists, internists, family doctors, and
all interested in this exciting area of science.
