This volume covers data describing the role of free radicals and
antioxidants in respiratory disorders, including the data that deal
with clinical and pre-clinical trials. Chapters describe the
relationship of oxidative stress to a number of respiratory and
pulmonary conditions from a basic science and clinical perspective,
including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, acute lung
injury, pulmonary hypertension, toxicity and fibrosis, cancer and
asbestosis. The book also discusses the use of conventional
biomarkers of oxidative stress and breath condensates as adjuncts
to classical laboratory testing, the effect of antioxidants on
cellular protection, as well as the development of novel
antioxidant modalities.

This explains why role models should not make a public display of
their habits that have dangerous consequences for the health of the
youth. Once addiction develops, it becomes extremely difficult to
quit. People then do not mind even being pushed away from
no-smoking areas whenever their urge to be deviant gets the better
of them. Knowing the way smoking interacts with our body and the
adverse impact it produces will perhaps help even the diehard
advocates of individual freedom to get rid of this scourge. This is
all the more necessary since the public space for smokers is
shrinking day by day as the society is becoming more conscious. Dr
Jindal's book is based on findings backed by research. He makes a
brilliant analysis of the problem and suggests measures to quit.
Coming from a specialist in chest and lung diseases, this book aims
to touch a chord with those who want to quit but fail every time
like Mark Twain.
This book focuses on World clinics Pulmonary & Critical Care
Medicine: Pneumonia. Pneumonia has overwhelming importance in
clinical medicine and affects all age groups from neonates to the
elderly. It leads on to serious consequences such as sepsis,
respiratory failure and death. This book consists of 14 chapters,
which include epidemiology and risk factors of pneumonia,
etiological diagnosis of pneumonia, role of imaging in respiratory
infections, severity assessment of pneumonia, management of
This issue of World Clinics: Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine
focuses on respiratory critical care, presenting an up-to-date
collection of articles on the latest developments in the field,
authored by internationally renowned experts. The book begins with
an introduction to respiratory critical care and assisted
ventilation. The following chapters discuss different disorders
including acute COPD and asthma, acute respiratory distress
syndrome, pulmonary thromboembolism, and chronic respiratory
failure. The final sections cover critical care in poisoning cases,
nutritional management in the ICU, interpretation of arterial blood
gases and acid-base abnormalities, and ICU infections and
antibiotics. Each article concludes with comments by the editor
highlighting their own experience and summarising the chapter. The
book is enhanced by images, table and figures. Key Points
