Reviews


'...a useful resource for sleep specialists and those seeking to become specialists. Despite the large number of new sleep medicine texts available, this text serves an important niche. ... It provides well written, comprehensive, up-to-date, evidence-based reviews of important topics by experts on sleep apnea.'
Respiratory Care, Vol. 53, No. 6, 2007

'This well-written, multi-authored book addressed a need for education about sleep and sleep-disordered breathing for students in medical schools and those in residency programs.
Prepared by well-known sleep researchers and clinicians, the 28-section book is volume 35 in the Progress in Respiratory Research sereis edited by C.T. Bolliger. The editors of this volume have created a book that is well organized and permits easy access to information relevant to patient care….
…In all these sections, the editors chose to use many figures and tables which conveniently summarize the scientific concepts and the diagnostic and treatment strategies….
..We recommend this book… The tenor of the book is well suited for the stated audience of clinicians and medical students who would like to be informed about sleep-disordered breathing and better serve a patient need to achieve restful and healthy sleep.'
Chadi E. Bou Serhal, Kingman P. Strohl, Sleep and Breathing Vol. 11, No. 3, 2007

'The book is generously illustrated with tables and colour figures. The references are comprehensive and up-to-date, citing the most recent literature including 2005. Many opinion leaders in the field are found among the 47 authors.
The book timely covers one area which has never been addressed in the series, i.e. respiratory sleep medicine. Although this field is booming worldwide, it has still to be discovered by many practitioners in different disciplines, including respiratory medicine. Accordingly, this book is highly recommended as a reference work to the interested reader. It will appeal to pneumologists, sleep and ENT specialists, neurologists, dental surgeons, cardiologists, obstetricians, general practitioners as well as public health specialists.'
Prof. Dr. D. Pevernagie, Ghent University Hospital (Acta Clinica Belgica, Vol. 61, No. 5,2006)
New diagnostic approaches and improved therapeutic options
In the face of the rapid developments in sleep medicine, this book seeks to present the current knowledge in the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of sleep apnea. New physiological approaches to modeling sleep and recent pathophysiologic findings in upper airway mechanics as well as the importance of inflammatory and oxidative processes and the underlying genetic aspects are discussed to open up new avenues of investigation for better understanding and improved therapeutic options. Besides the well-known CPAP therapy, chapters describe novel therapeutic methods that are currently under investigation and highlight their future prospects, limitations as well as recommendations for practice. The influence of breathing disturbances on the cardiovascular system during sleep is significant. Reviews of central sleep apnea and of cardiovascular complications of sleep-disordered breathing therefore play an important role in this edition. Some of the chapters are dedicated to specific aspects in children, in the elderly and in pregnancy and receive special attention as sleep apnea is relevant to all ages.

The excellent contributions to this volume will be stimulating reading to pneumologists, sleep and ENT specialists, neurologists, dental surgeons, cardiologists, obstetricians, general practitioners as well as public health specialists.
