Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 2-Volume Set

Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 2-Volume Set, 6th Edition, is a reference work that presents clinical knowledge on respiratory health and pulmonary medicine. The set establishes foundational concepts by examining lung function in both health and disease, establishing how biological mechanisms affect respiratory performance. It explores obstructive and restrictive diseases through systematic analysis of pathological mechanisms and diagnostic considerations.

The thematic structure covers major clinical areas within pulmonary medicine. Subject matter encompasses pulmonary vascular disorders, sleep-disordered breathing, lung neoplasms, respiratory infections, and acute respiratory failure. Further sections explain basic science topics, including the molecular development of the lung, stem cells in respiratory disease, genetics of pulmonary disease, and clinical protocols for lung transplantation.

To support study and clinical review, this publication incorporates extensive visual and bibliographic media. The two-volume set features nearly 2,500 illustrations, 60 multimedia videos, and 22,000 literature references embedded throughout the text.
