The Mechanics of Inhaled Pharmaceutical Aerosols, An Introduction
provides a unique and comprehensive treatment of the mechanics of
inhaled pharmaceutical aerosols. The book covers a wide range of
topics and many new perspectives are given by drawing on research
from a variety of fields. Novel, in-depth expositions of the most
common delivery devices are given, including nebulizers, dry powder
inhalers and propellant metered dose inhalers. The behaviour of
aerosols in the respiratory tract is explained in detail, with
complete coverage of the fundamentals of current deposition models.
The book begins by providing a comprehensive introduction to
aspects of aerosol mechanics that are relevant to inhaled
pharmaceutical aerosols. It then gives an exhaustive pedagogical
description of the behaviour of evaporating and condensing droplets
(both aqueous and propellant-based), an introductory chapter on
lung geometry and inhalation patterns, and coverage of relevant
aspects of fluid mechanics in the lung. Finally, the book provides
invaluable, detailed coverage on the mechanics of common
pharmaceutical aerosol delivery systems and deposition in the
respiratory tract. Throughout the book are many detailed numerical
examples that apply the salient concepts to typical inhaled
pharmaceutical aerosols.
This book will be of interest to scientists and engineers involved
in the research and development of inhaled pharmaceutical aerosol
products. Experienced practitioners will find many new perspectives
that will greatly enhance their understanding of this complex and
rapidly growing field. For those delivering therapeutic agents to
the lung, this book is a must-have. Students and academics will
find this book an invaluable tool and for newcomers it is a worthy
guide to the diverse fields that must be understood to work in the
area of inhaled pharmaceutical aerosols.
The Mechanics of Inhaled Pharmaceutical Aerosols: An Introduction,
Second Edition provides a concise, but thorough exposition of
fundamental concepts in the field of pharmaceutical aerosols. This
revised edition will allow researchers in the field to gain a
thorough understanding of the field from first principles, allowing
them to understand, design, develop and improve inhaled
pharmaceutical aerosol devices and therapies. Chapters consider
mechanics and deposition, specifically in the respiratory tract,
while others discuss the mechanics associated with the three
existing types of pharmaceutical inhalation devices. This text will
be very useful for academics and for courses taught at both
undergraduate and graduate levels. Because of the interdisciplinary
nature of this book, it will also serve a wide audience that
includes engineers and scientists involved with inhaled aerosol
therapies.
This book is for the amateur astronomer who wants to know about the
astrophysical nature of deep sky objects. The information is
presented in a concise format and is equally valuable when used as
background reading or, alternatively, at the telescope eyepiece.
The past decades have seen an unprecedented increase in
professional astronomers' understanding of astronomical objects.
However, generally this information is contained in journal
publications that most amateur astronomers either do not have
access to or would find difficult to read. In this book, basic data
on each object (e.g., magnitude, location, distance, age if known)
is presented in a way that allows the reader to quickly access the
information. This is followed by some remarks that capture the most
fascinating astrophysical facts. Although there are thousands of
deep sky objects observed by astronomers, only a small number of
these are commonly observed by a wide audience. Thus, coverage here
is limited to approximately 500 of the most commonly observed
objects in the Northern Hemisphere and - an enhancement for the
Second Edition - approximately 50 of those in the Southern
Hemisphere. These are visible from the southern limits of the
United States as well as from the southern continents. Another new
feature of the Second Edition is the addition of amateur
photographic images of all the Messier objects.
