With a firm theoretical grounding and reflecting the state of the art in pharmacological research and development, Pediatric Asthma

reviews the prevalence, causes, and demographics of childhood asthma worldwide

explores determinants of the disorder in various 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

evaluates intravenous and inhaled 2 agonists for the bronchodilating treatment of acute severe asthma

and more!
