| Summary: | Interstitial Lung Disease, fifth edition is a complete publication of interstitial lung diseases and includes clinical, pathologic, radiologic, and physiologic evaluation of the patient with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). The volume provides a basic pathobiology and a complete description of individual disease entities. The authors cover a wide array of disorders - sarcoidosis, asbestosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, drug induced lung disease, connective tissue disease, and pulmonary vasculitis - to name but a few. The fifth edition also features an examination of future potential therapies for diffuse parenchymal lung disease.Interstitial Lung Disease's 39 chapters are divided into three sections. The "Clinical Approach" section provides the basis for recognizing the key features that allow a specific diagnosis to be achieved. The section dedicated to "Basic Mechanisms" emphasizes the many advances in genetics and cellular and molecular biology that have greatly expanded our understanding of the biological processes involved in the pathogenesis of ILD. The third section titled "Clinical Entities" describes the clinical manifestations, radiologic patterns, histopathological features, and management of the specific process. |
