**Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Pulmonology**Written and edited by global leaders in this challenging field, Rare and Interstitial Lung Diseases: Clinical Cases and Real-World Discussions brings you up to date with the latest advances in complex or rare lung diseases managed on outpatient or inpatient respiratory or critical care units. Using a unique, case-based approach, a wide variety of cases are presented along with perspectives from a multidisciplinary team of experts who discuss therapeutic choices and rationales. This real-world approach allows the reader to become a virtual attending physician, simulating a realistic clinical reasoning process on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients with rare and complex lung diseases.

Part of Dr. Claudio Sorino’s popular Clinical Cases and Real-World Discussions series, Asthma and Severe Asthma brings you up to date with the latest advances in this fast-changing field. Using a unique, case-based approach, a wide variety of cases are presented along with perspectives from a multidisciplinary team of experts who discuss therapeutic choices and rationales. This real-world approach allows the reader to become a virtual attending physician, simulating a realistic clinical reasoning process on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients with asthma. Cases cover the full clinical spectrum, from common comorbid scenarios such as allergic rhinitis, GERD, OSA, or obesity, through rare and or more extreme presentations such as asthma in a tracheostomized patient in a minimally conscious state or EGPA with mononeuritis multiplex.

This book is a practical guide to the diagnosis of respiratory disorders, helping clinicians recognise signs and symptoms, decide on the most appropriate diagnostic tests, and to interpret the results.Divided into four sections, the book covers respiratory system assessment, evaluation of respiratory function, diagnostic imaging, and invasive diagnostic techniques.The imaging section includes radiograph, computed tomography, angiography, and ultrasonography. The invasive diagnostic procedures section covers bronchoscopy, lung biopsy, transbronchial needle aspiration and more. Video-assisted thoracic surgery as a diagnostic tool is also discussed.Authored by recognised expert Professor Claudio Sorino from University of Palermo, this useful manual is enhanced by clinical images and figures.Key PointsPractical guide to diagnosis of respiratory disordersHelps clinicians recognise signs and symptoms, choose appropriate diagnostic tests and interpret resultsIncludes chapter on video-assisted thoracic surgery as a diagnostic toolAuthored by recognised expert from University of Palermo
