Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Download or read book Surgery for Sleep Disordered Breathing written by Karl Hörmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation is the gold standard in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Long-term compliance rates are about 60%. Therefore, several alternative treatment options are of special interest. Beside conservative therapies, various surgical concepts exist. The field of surgery for sleep disordered breathing has rapidly grown with new instrumentation and surgical techniques in the last 10 years. Surgeons in these fields have to attend scientific meetings, participate in workshops, and read the literature to stay up to date. In our sleep laboratories we conduct 30 polysomnographies each night. Each year, we perform almost 1,000 surgical procedures for sleep disordered breathing apart from numerous other conservative and apparative treatment modalities. Referring to our expe- ence and the present literature, we tried to give new information on surgical techniques in this second edition. The chapters are grouped in different anatomical fields of interest. We wanted to give general advice and specific new hints for the surgery of sleep disordered breathing so that the reader learns basic techniques followed by more advanced surgery. In addition to the illustrated surgical descriptions, the chapters contain informations about indications and contraindications of each surgical procedure and the postoperative care. Special interest has been dedicated to evidence-based medicine. So in each chapter, there is a table of references summarizing the effectiveness of the procedure and EBM grade.

This book was released on 2024-02-14 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ukrainian physician Dr. Konstantin Buteyko (1923-2003) was undoubtedly one of the most profound breath researchers in the western world. His research proves the lasting damage to health caused by constant accelerated and intensified breathing (over-breathing or chronic hyperventilation). The causes lie primarily in the daily stresses to which most of us are exposed. If these incorrect and unhealthy breathing patterns are corrected, extraordinary restoration to health can occur, even despite long-term poor health or illness. In this book, Ralph P. Skuban, PhD, a well-known breathing researcher and pranayama expert, presents Buteyko's approach in theory and practice. He also incorporates the latest findings in breathing research and builds bridges to traditional breathing techniques such as that used in yoga. The Buteyko Method is not only a valuable addition to existing breathing techniques but a revolutionary approach for better health and quality of life on all levels - physical, emotional, and mental. Learn to breathe in a healthy way and ... • free yourself from asthma and shortness of breath • overcome anxiety and panic attacks once and for all • stop snoring and sleep apnea in the shortest possible time • drastically improve your sleep quality and ability to recover from illness • lower your blood pressure and optimize your cardiovascular health • increase your athletic and mental performance • find emotional balance and inner peace.

Download or read book Functional Respiratory Disorders written by Ran D. Anbar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-23 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many patients with pulmonary complaints fail to improve despite physicians’ best efforts. Sometimes, we ascribe this failure to lack of adherence with therapy, or to the severity of the condition. What we often fail to appreciate, however, is that sometimes the lack of improvement can be explained by the patients' psychological states. The first section of Functional Respiratory Disorders: When Respiratory Symptoms Do Not Respond to Pulmonary Treatment will help clinicians recognize functional respiratory symptoms that can arise as a result of both organic and psychological causes. The second section of this book provides detailed discussions of such disorders, links to video examples of laryngoscopic evaluation of patients with vocal cord issues, case studies and quizzes. Examples and exercises that should strengthen the clinician’s confidence in identifying and treating these functional conditions are also provided. Finally, the third section of the book will help the clinician differentiate the patients for whom referral to a mental health provider is mandatory from those for whom other approaches may be useful. For the latter group, the book teaches clinicians to empower themselves by learning how to incorporate various therapies for functional disorders into their practice, including biofeedback, breathing techniques, basic cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, and hypnosis. Links are provided to instructive video examples of biofeedback, hypnosis, and speech therapy. Practical strategies for obtaining training in these modalities are provided in the appendix. Functional Respiratory Disorders: When Respiratory Symptoms Do Not Respond to Pulmonary Treatment is an important new book that will help clinicians consider the possible impact of functional contributions to the clinical presentation of every patient with respiratory symptoms and identified respiratory disease.
