Clinical Physiology Series
Your
bridge between basic science and clinical medicine.
Each book brings together fresh ideas in the study of disease states and
crucial physiological function. Each is meticulously edited by leaders in
the field it covers.
Flow-Dependent Regulation of Vascular Function
Edited by John A. Bevan, Gabor Kaley,
and Gabor M. Rubanyi
This book brings together current research on the way in which blood flow
can regulate vascular function with particular emphasis on vascular tone.
Evidence that this occurs is derived from the study of isolated cellular and
tissue systems, in vitro vascular segments and vascular beds from both
animals and humans. Considerable attention is devoted in this book to the
role of the endothelium. The book also examines the cellular and
sub-cellular mechanisms involved; the effective stimulus; the signal
transduction systems; the role of flow-dependent mechanisms in various
physiological regulating processes; and the role of flow in the long-term
design of the circulation system.

Lung Development
Edited by Claude Gaultier, Jacques R. Bourbon
and Martin Post
Knowledge about the mechanisms of lung development has been growing
rapidly, especially with regard to cellular and molecular aspects of growth
and differentiation. Written by over 30 internationally recognized
authorities, this book reviews key aspects of lung development in health and
disease. These include lung branching morphogenesis and the role of growth
factors and extracellular matrix, elastogenesis, differentiation and
maturation of airway epithelial cells, gene expression in alveolar
development, pulmonary angiogenesis, development of pulmonary vasculature,
physiological and clinical implications of nitric oxide and endothelin in
the developing pulmonary circulation, development of cellular host defense
mechanisms, development of epithelial transport, mechanisms of lung growth
and tissue repair, transgenic models of lung development and disease,
nutritional aspects of lung development, pulmonary hypoplasia and the role
of mechanical factors in prenatal lung growth, pulmonary antioxidant defense
mechanisms, and lung development after transplantation. The book will be an
indispensable volume for neonatologists and pediatricians, pulmonologists
and pulmonary disease specialists, physiologists, chest surgeons, molecular
and cellular biologists, anatomists, pathologists, anesthesiologists,
intensive care physicians, and obstetricians who are involved in neonatal
and pediatric pulmonary disorders and their sequelae in adulthood.

High Altitude and Man
Edited by John B. West and Sukhamay Lahiri
Leading authorities on high-altitude physiology contributed to this work,
which is divided into three sections: humans at extreme altitude, sleep and
restoration at high altitude, and physiology of permanent residents of high
altitude. Based on a symposium on physiology at high altitude sponsored by
The American Physiological Society, the volume includes several chapters on
the achievements of the 1981 American Medical Research Expedition to Mt.
Everest, where the first physiological measurements at altitudes above 8,000
meters were recorded. With growing interest in the study of human
performance in these conditions, this text marks a lasting achievement in
high?altitude physiology.
