Synopsis

Thoroughly updated for its Fourth Edition, Dr. Light's text provides a focused, single-authored perspective on the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of pleural diseases. This edition presents new guidelines for the management of parapneumonic effusions and malignant pleural effusions--the two most difficult problems encountered in clinical practice. Coverage also includes current information on the use of markers for the diagnosis of pleural diseases, a field that has evolved significantly since the last edition. Three new chapters cover pleural diseases due to cardiovascular disorders, pleural disease following surgery, and pleural disease due to obstetric and gynecologic problems

About this title

Review:

This is a truely comprehensive effort written by knowledgeable authorities and should interest any chest physician with more than a passing interest in pleural disease. It deserves to be stocked in every hospital medical library and as it will almost certainly be on loan whenever you want to look something up it may be expedient to invest in your own copy.
