Main description:

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of all the upper and lower airways disorders and broadens their understanding by combining ENT and pulmonology disciplines.

The volume opens with a general overview on the airways, before describing symptoms, infections and allergies. In addition to the upper airway tumors, specific lower, and upper airway disorders, other topics addressed by the book are pediatric lower airway disorders, sleep related breathing disorders, trauma, reflux, and interventional pulmonology. The closing part discusses the airway protection and includes a chapter on gender and pulmonary diseases.

Written by experts in the fields, the book is a valuable resource for both specialists and trainees in ENT, pulmonology, and pediatrics.
