Book Description

Accurate differentiation between vocal fold pathologies is essential to planning optimal nonsurgical or surgical therapy. Because of growing interest among clinicians a monthly journal including a color photograph orvideo print was published . The first edition of the Atlas of Laryngoscopy was developed because of comments by otolaryngologists in the usefulness ofthe journal and requests that they be compliled in a more conveniet form. The second edition of the atlas includes selected cases previously published in Laryngoscipic Clinic feature section of the Ear, Nose and Throat Journal, but also many images and cases not published. They are grouped by diagnosis and are designed to show interesting features of manyof the more common and clinically important vocal fold abnormalities seen by practicing otolaryngologists.

Book Description

In the face of the rapid developments in sleep medicine, this book seeks to present the current knowledge in the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of sleep apnea. New physiological approaches to modeling sleep and recent pathophysiologic findings in upper airway mechanics as well as the importance of inflammatory and oxidative processes and the underlying genetic aspects are discussed to open up new avenues of investigation for better understanding and improved therapeutic options. Besides the well-known CPAP therapy, chapters describe novel therapeutic methods that are currently under investigation and highlight their future prospects, limitations as well as recommendations for practice. The influence of breathing disturbances on the cardiovascular system during sleep is significant. Reviews of central sleep apnea and of cardiovascular complications of sleep-disordered breathing therefore play an important role in this edition. Some of the chapters are dedicated to specific aspects in children, in the elderly and in pregnancy and receive special attention as sleep apnea is relevant to all ages. The excellent contributions to this volume will be stimulating reading to pneumologists, sleep and ENT specialists, neurologists, dental surgeons, cardiologists, obstetricians, general practitioners as well as public health specialists.
