This book explores the latest research and practical data on the clinical management of influenza. Starting with the definition, epidemiology and pathogenesis, the first part reviews the basic science of the influenza virus and infection. The next three parts then discusses the diagnosis, complications and management, providing practical data and insights that are useful in day-to-day patient care. The last part focuses on the trending topics, including a new drug, oral baloxavir marboxil, which was introduced in Japan in 2018 and is the first polymerase inhibitor to be licensed for the...

This book provides essential information on recent advances in molecular genetics, epidemiology, translational research, and the latest results of clinical trials on mesothelioma. Significant progress has been made in understanding mesothelioma biology, and in developing new therapies for this refractory tumor, malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Not only does this volume summarize the latest research-based data on the disease; it also shares insights into future research directions.
The book consists of 5 themed sections on: epidemiology, pathogenesis, screening and...

Divided into thirteen chapters, this book provides a wealth of research-oriented findings and practical guidance, ranging from the definition, epidemiology and pathophysiology, to the diagnosis and management of the disease. Although acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is defined by the acute onset of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, hypoxemia and the need for mechanical ventilation, it is a heterogeneous disease entity, which makes it difficult to develop specific therapies. Treatment tends to focus on lung-protective ventilation, and no specific pharmacotherapies have been...

This book elucidates the diagnostic criteria and concept of asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) and provides the latest information on its epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, and treatment options. It discusses the controversy-causing findings of prognosis of ACO, the novel molecular mechanism including nitrosative stress, radiological or physiological features, findings by research that used HRCT or forced oscillation technique. In addition to a recent animal model of ACO, the role of each biomarker, the latest results of ICS/LAMA/LABA combination inhalers or biologics is also...

This book is a comprehensive guide to the epidemiology and social issues of sleep apnea and sleep related disturbances, as well as a wide range of treatment options, including weight loss and positional therapy, CPAP therapy, oral devices, implantable therapy, and telemedicine. The book also explores the relationship between sleep apnea and other health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders. While focusing on global perspectives, the book includes a chapter devoted explicitly to treatment options in Japan and insights into the latest research from around the...
