Johns Hopkins White Papers: Lung Disorders

Every year, The Johns Hopkins Lung Disorders White Paper reports on the most exciting advances and the most useful, current information to help you prevent or treat respiratory diseases.

The Johns Hopkins Lung Disorders White Paper provides a thorough overview of what the medical field knows about lung disorders such as: lung cancer, COPD, emphysema, sleep apnea, tuberculosis, and asthma--their causes, symptoms, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options. And how even a seemingly simple thing like a persistent cough, or snoring, can be the sign of something much more serious.

The Johns Hopkins White Paper 2008: Lung Disorders reviews all of the latest research and findings in one easy-to-read volume, to help you take charge of your health, and act from a place of knowledge rather than fear.
