Respiratory System
AuthorsrnrnFirstly, thank you for taking the time to open this latest version; we are very proud of this publication and we really hope you will find it as beneficial andrnuser-friendly as we set out to make it. Our aim was to add to the strengths of the previous edition but also to update the text to reflect changing medical school syllabuses and assessment styles.rnrnWe have once again revamped the layout, splitting the text into three sections following a ‘bench to bedside’ approach to respiratory medicine. Whilst each topic is accessible as a standalone resource, taken together we have tried to providerna coherent journey from basic science to clinical assessment of a patient and finally respiratory pathology. Cross referencing suggestions between sections and also up to date guidelines will enable you quickly to link relevant aspects of science and clinical medicine in an evidence-based manner. Lastly, you will find a range of multiple choice questions of the SBA and EMQ format in place of previous short answer and essay based assessments.rnrnWe strongly feel this book has a wide scope of application, whether you are revising for basic science exams, or are on the wards looking for clinical information with a pathophysiological focus, there is something for you. We hope you find this edition valuable in both study and working life and wish you all the best for your assessments!rnrnSarah Hickin, James Renshaw and Rachel WilliamsrnrnFaculty AdvisorrnrnCrash Course is a unique series. The authors themselves have just completed their final year exams and are preparing for their first postgraduate exams and so, have a heightened knowledge and are experienced with the current requirements of the ever changing medical curriculum.rnrnSarah, Rachel and James have brought their own vision to this edition, focusing firmly on integrating basic science with clinical practice to make Respiratory Medicine an essential and enjoyable read. This edition has updated clinical guidelines and is extensively cross referenced, reinforcing the complementary information in the different chapters.rnrnIt has been a pleasure to work with the authors, whose momentum in keeping focused on this book was admirable, particularly in their first foundation year and especially after undertaking stretches of night’s on-call, in order to keep to our deadlines!rnrnI do hope you enjoy this edition.rnrnOmar S Usmani
