Clinical Asthma: Theory and Practice, 2nd Edition, examines common and challenging problems encountered by healthcare professionals who treat asthma. The book connects basic science with clinical management through a bench-to-bedside approach to explore opportunities for improved care.
The volume addresses fundamental disease mechanisms, including inflammation and the identification of asthma endotypes, while reviewing diagnostic guidelines and triggers. It also explores patient care considerations across different age groups, from pediatric to older adult populations.
Emphasizing practical application, every chapter opens with a clinical patient case study paired with background in basic science and clinical decision-making. These presentations lead into discussions centered on patient evaluation and management strategies.
