Genetics of COPD -- The pathology of COPD -- Lung function in COPD -- Computed tomography (CT) scans in COPD -- Oxidative stress in COPD -- Proteinases in COPD -- Mucus hypersecretion in COPD -- Induced sputum and BAL analysis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease -- Exhaled breath markers in COPD -- Systemic features of COPD -- Pulmonary rehabilitation -- New drugs for COPD based on advances in pathophysiology
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) ranges amongst the commonest diseases in the world. The relentless progression of the disease causes a pressing need for a better understanding of and therapies for COPD. This volume provides state-of-the-art information on the pathophysiology of COPD including an outlook on new therapies. It is of interest to researchers and clinicians in academia as well as in the pharmaceutical industry
