Parkes' Occupational Lung Disorders (4th Ed.)
Coordonnateurs : Newman Taylor Anthony, Cullinan Paul, Blanc Paul, Pickering Anthony
This authoritative text on occupational lung disorders builds upon the fundamentals, including clinical, epidemiological, and predictive approaches. It discusses interstitial and malignant diseases, airways diseases, and other respiratory issues, such as diving, working at high altitudes, and abnormal sleep conditions. It also covers related long-term conditions, such as asthma and COPD. This edition has been completely revised and brought up to date for all physicians dealing with pulmonary disorders caused by the environment or the workplace.
Print Versions of this book also include access to the ebook version.
