This book is built on the assumption that present and future scientific knowledge is and will be predominantly based on understanding of the immunology and inflammation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Pathophysiology and its clinical, functional, and radiological implications, as well as existing and prospective treatments, all point to a better understanding of the entity's molecular biology. As a result, the book is divided into four distinct portions. Immune recognition, inflammation, immunology, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the rheological features of bronchial mucus are all covered in the first four chapters. That is, the foundations of COPD's immunological and inflammatory characteristics. The second section addresses COPD caused by etiologies other than smoking, which is a subset of COPD that is "on the rise." The treatment of COPD is covered in the third segment, while the fourth portion contains two mandatory chapters on the subject: differential diagnosis and similarities with bronchial asthma, and the influence of COVID-19 on COPD and bronchial asthma.
The major goal is to provide the reader with up-to-date, comprehensive, and concise information on these molecular profiles, which are sometimes difficult to comprehend, by combining multiple chapters into one "whole," as if they were different surfaces of a prism.
We'll be happy if the book gives medical students, physicians, and researchers a better understanding of COPD.
Carmen, Mara, Nico, Jojo, and Pedro are honoured.Author(s) Details
