Building on the strengths of the well-received first edition, the book includes a thorough basic science section, aiding understanding of the Textbook of Pleural Diseases PDF physiological and
pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie diseases of the pleura. This is followed by a series of chapters discussing clinical aspects of the common (and less common) pleural diseases. Chapters in the clinical section–with authors from 10 countries–are written in an accessible and uniform
style, making extensive use of illustrative material and covering definition, incidence and epidemiology, etiology and pathogenesis, clinical presentation, investigations, treatments, possible complications and directions for future developmetn. Chapters present ‘state-of-the-art’ scientific

the reader, and a comprehensive reference list is provided. In a final chapter, the editors endeavour to rpedict how the area of pleural disease may develop in forthcoming decades.

Not worth it……….
June 30, 2011
I decided to buy this book instead of the other book by Light and now I realize it was not the right decision.
This book has various drawbacks which I’ve found after reading 5 chapters.
– Its badly written especially the grammar,I understand many authors are from non english speaking countries but don’t they edit these chapters?
– somewhere its mentioned the authors were not paid for writing the chapters and this may have got something to do with the final book
– apart from a few chapters most of the information in this book can be found in murray and nadel and uptodate.
– Its by no means exhaustive and is a poor source of reference for pleural diseases.
– for eg I was looking for information on rickettsial lung/pleural diseases and I found more info on Harrison’s then in this book.
Big Disappointment and a waste of 180$.Unfortunately by the time I realized this book is not worth it, it was already past 30 days and so am stuck with it for ever…..

The last word in Pleural disease.
December 31, 2007
Very impressive book.
the only problem as I see it: A lot of the stuff inside has already been distilled and given to us( residents and fellows) in small doses. So you already know a sizable portion of the work.
Another guru I regard highly, for pleural disease is Steven Sahn from MUSC.

What else do you expect from Dr. Light?
December 25, 2007
the book is THE state of the art in pleural diseases, exactly what you’d expect from Dr. Light. updated, concise, and clinically directed.

胸膜、胸水のことに関しては、この1冊を上回るものがあれば教えてほしいです。
胸水の分析、胸膜生検の方法など、この1冊通読すれば、あまり困ることは・・・でもないですが。実際そんなにクリアカットではないですが、この本を読まなければわからないこともたくさんあると思います。僕は非常に感謝している1冊です。

胸腔疾患はこれ一冊
Reviewed in Japan on October 3, 2004
～言わずと知れた胸腔疾患のスタンダードです。残念ながら前の版しか通読していませんが、特に胸水については載っていないことがないともいえるほどの詳しさです。気胸の治療の際のaspirationなど、和文の教科書には詳しく載っていないことも詳細に記述されています。胸水、気胸で診断、治療方針に難渋の際は一読すれば、ヒントが得られるかも知れません。ボリュー～～ムも何とか通読できる程度です。頑張って読んで損はない良書です。～
