Current treatment offers some symptomatic relief, but does not address the underlying process. As smoking cessation is the only intervention known to alter the rate of disease progression, there is a great need for the development of superior therapies for symptomatic relief and disease modification. This book reviews and discusses the most recent advances in the understanding of the disorder and draws together basic and clinical aspects relevant to the topic with much new and exciting work in the area. It identifies and stimulates promising new research directions. 410 0$aNovartis Foundation Symposia 606 $aLung Diseases 606 $aRespiratory Tract Diseases 606 $aDiseases 606 $aLung Diseases, Obstructive 606 $aMedicine$2HILCC 606 $aHealth & Biological Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aRespiratory System Diseases$2HILCC 615 2$aLung Diseases 615 2$aRespiratory Tract Diseases 615 2$aDiseases 615 2$aLung Diseases, Obstructive 615 7$aMedicine 615 7$aHealth & Biological Sciences 615 7$aRespiratory System Diseases 676 $a616.24 702 $aChadwick$b Derek 702 $aGoode$b Jamie 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910841789203321 996 $aChronic obstructive pulmonary disease : pathogenesis to treatment$94136966 997 $aUNINA
