˜Theœ Role of Nitric Oxide in Pulmonary Vascular Disease
Author: Thenappan ThenappanNitric Oxide in Pulmonary Processes
Author: Maria G. BelvisiPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3034884745
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Nitric oxide is an endogenously produced gas with a wide range of biological effects and has been implicated in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. It is released by many cell types in various organs but is particularly important in the maintenance of normal lung function. Nitric oxide in exhaled breath has been identified as a marker for lung disease in some patients. Thus, it is appropriate to consider the lung separately for the role and functioning of nitric oxide. The authors identify key areas in the history, biochemistry, physiology, pathophysiology, immunology and clinical applications of nitric oxide in the lung. The contents of this book will be of particular importance to scientists and clinicians with an interest in lung disease. Moreover, the authors encompass state of the art opinions of and rational for the therapeutic potential of nitric oxide and its inhibitors.
Nitric Oxide and Radicals in the Pulmonary Vasculature
Author: E. Kenneth Weir, MDPublisher: Blackwell Publishing
ISBN: 9780879936310
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
This publication is unique and ground breaking because no previous volume has focused on the mechanisms by which nitric oxide and oxygen radicals are involved in vascular pathophysiology. This book provides a current review of the use of nitric oxide to treat pulmonary hypertension, whether idiopathic or secondary to congenital heart disease. In this respect, it should be read by pediatric cardiologists. Respiratory care physicians and intensive-care specialists who study and treat ARDS or IRDS (adult or infant respiratory distress syndromes) would also benefit from this publication. This book is of particular interest to physiologists concerned with vascular biology or with the activity of nitric oxide and oxygen radicals.

The Role of Nitric Oxide in Heart Failure
Author: Bodh I. JugduttPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402079605
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Research on nitric oxide (NO) is a very hot topic since 1998, when three prominent researchers were recognized by Nobel prize awards. Addresses clinically pertinent issues related to nitric oxide in the pathophysiology and therapeutics of heart failure. Chapters written by basic scientists and clinicians to emphasize translation character of research in nitric oxide. An excellent reference source for researchers, practitioners and students.
Role of Nitric Oxide in Sepsis and ARDS
Author: M.P. FinkPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642799205
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
Nitric Oxide (NO) is a free radical, a gas, and a pluripotent product of mammalian cells. Only a few years ago, scientific discussions of NO were largely held in the context of the chemistry of air pollution. Now, however, the great significance of NO as a signalling and cytotoxic molecule has captured the attention of the biomedical community. This book provides a very up-to-date review of the role of NO in sepsis and ARDS. Consideration is given to NO both as a pathophysiologic mediator as well as a therapeutic agent. An internationally recognized group of scientists and clinicians have contributed chapters dealing with cutting-edge science and practical clinical strategies. Numerous tables and charts have been included to aid the reader in understanding this fascinating and important subject.
