    Asthma in the Workplace, Fourth Edition 4th Edition

    Occupational factors are responsible for a large percentage of cases of asthma in adults of working age. Any irritant generated at high concentrations can cause occupational asthma, and early diagnosis is critical because cure is still possible at this stage. This latest edition of Asthma in the Workplace reflects the rapid pace of discovery and research in workplace asthma that has taken place in recent years.

     

    This Fourth Edition retains the international flavor of prior editions, with contributions from editors and contributors from around the world. Several chapters commence with clinical histories and workplace scenarios relevant to the focus of the chapter, making it particularly germane for primary care providers to develop skills in early recognition of the disease.

     

    Topics discussed include:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    • Definitions, historical background, epidemiology, genetics, pathophysiology, and animal models
    • Guidelines for assessing the worker and the workplace, and proposed guidelines for management, including compensation aspects
    • Medicolegal aspects, prevention, and surveillance
    • Detailed information about specific agents, including a variety of high- and low-molecular weight agents
    • Other types of work-related asthma conditions, such as irritant-induced asthma, eosinophilic bronchitis, and occupational rhinitis

     

     

    This new edition has been significantly restructured and places a greater emphasis on the clinical aspects of management and treatment. This heightened focus on practical considerations makes it a truly comprehensive, hands-on resource for practitioners and researchers in this fast-moving field.
