confronting pulmonary disorders in children, Pediatric Asthma
offers the latest findings on this classification-defying disease

experts in the field, the book focuses on drug
administration-issues of compliance, aerosol delivery, and
pharmacokinetic differences among children-with a view toward
developing new and more efficacious therapies.
Provides cutting-edge analysis for more effective diagnosis of
children with asthma and improved monitoring and treatment for
chronic patients
With a firm theoretical grounding and reflecting the state of the
art in pharmacological research and development, Pediatric
Asthma

asthma worldwide

populations-gender, age and severity of onset, atopic status,
family history, and smoking
elucidates physiological factors such as airway remodeling, airway
hyperresponsiveness, and persistent inflammation
describes in vivo and in vitro testing for asthma-associated
allergy and the pros and cons of allergen immunotherapy
delineates the dynamics of the lung in terms of phenomena such as
peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced vital capacity (FVC), and
bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR)
highlights the importance of patient education and self-management
investigates the role that developmental psychopathologies and
neurobehavioral dysfunctions may play in pediatric asthma
discusses inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, chemokines,
leukotrienes, and prostaglandins
