About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Austrian Pneumological Society held its 33th Workshop on 'Clinical Respiratory Physiology' at Graz, November 1 st -3rd, 1990. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness has been known nearly as long as asthma bronchia Ie itself. During the last two decades while exploring the inflammatory nature of asthma bronchiale we have learned a lot about measuring and modifying this phenomenon. Because of the practical relevance and owing to the high competence of the authors we hope that the lectures and discussions we had at Graz will inform and enjoy the interested reader. I want to express my deep gratitude to all the authors for providing us with the manuscripts and graphs. Finally I am especially grateful to Mrs. H. Weber for her secreterial work and to Mrs. Mag. A. Lahrmann-Ramharter for correcting the written version of the speeches and preparing a manuscript that was ready for the press. Prim.

Review

"... beinhaltet 5 Beiträge (Atmung im Schlaf, pulmonale Hämodynamik, Epidemiologie, Diagnostik, Therapie), die um die jeweiligen Diskussionsbemerkungen ergänzt wurden ... Insgesamt vermittelt das vorliegende Büchlein einen raschen Überblick über den derzeitigen Stand der Erkenntnisse zum Themenkomplex der schlafbezogenen Atmungsstörungen". Pneumologie "... Zusammenfassend kann dieses Doppelgespann von zwei Büchlein über die 33. Arbeitstagung der österreichischen Atemphysiologen als mehr als nur ein Tagungsbericht gewertet werden. Der Herausgeber H. Zwick hat es verstanden, eine äußerst aktuelle, hochinteressante und leicht lesbare Sammlung von Beiträgen internationaler Kapazitäten herauszubringen, die die wissenschaftlich interessierten Pneumologen genauso ansprechen werden wie Internisten, Allergo-Immunologen, aber auch Neurologen, Studenten und alle, die an jenen Befunden und Vorgängen interessiert sind, welche teilweise ganz an der Grenze zwischen ‚gerade noch normal‘ (Hyperreaktivität der Bronchien, Schnarchen) oder ‚gerade schon krankhaft‘ (Asthma, Schlafapnoesyndrom) angesiedelt sind".
