Printedonacid-freepaper ThisSpringerimprintispublishedbySpringerNature TheregisteredcompanyisSpringerInternationalPublishingAGSwitzerland Preface The book series Neuroscience and Respiration presents contributions by expert researchers and clinicians in the field of pulmonary disorders. The chapters provide timely overviews of contentious issues or recent advances in the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of the entire range of pulmo- narydisorders,bothacuteandchronic.Thetextsarethoughtasamergerof basic and clinical research dealing with respiratory medicine, neural and chemical regulation of respiration, and the interactive relationship between respiration and other neurobiological systems such as cardiovascular func- tionorthemind-to-bodyconnection.Theauthorsfocusontheleading-edge therapeutic concepts, methodologies, and innovative treatments. Pharmaco- therapy is always in the focus of respiratory research. The action and pharmacology of existing drugs and the development and evaluation of new agents are the heady area of research. Practical, data-driven options to manage patients will be considered. New research is presented regarding older drugs, performed from a modern perspective or from a different pharmacotherapeutic angle. The introduction of new drugs and treatment approachesinbothadultsandchildrenalsoisdiscussed. Lung ventilation is ultimately driven by the brain. However, neuropsy- chologicalaspectsofrespiratorydisordersarestillmostlyamatterofconjec- ture. After decades of misunderstanding and neglect, emotions have been rediscovered as a powerful modifier or even the probable cause of various somatic disorders. Today, the link between stress and respiratory health is undeniable. Scientists accept a powerful psychological connection that can directlyaffectourqualityoflifeandhealthspan.Psychologicalapproaches, bydecreasingstress,canplayamajorroleinthedevelopmentandtherapyof respiratorydiseases. Neuromolecular aspects relating to gene polymorphism and epigenesis, involvingbothheritablechangesinthenucleotidesequence,andfunctionally relevantchangestothegenomethatdonotinvolveachangeinthenucleotide sequence, leading to respiratory disorders will also be tackled.

COPD alone causes more than three million deaths globally each year. Concerted efforts are required to improve this situation, and part of those efforts are gaining insights into the underlying mechanisms of disease and staying abreast with the latest developments in diagnosis and treatment regimens.

The cycle of stress is presented as a new concept of the stress reaction, trying to bridge the gap between physiology and psychology. The cycle is a circular event in life, composed of 4 phases: (1)therestinggroundphase,(2)thetensionphase,(3)theresponsephase, and(4)thereliefphase.Ineachphase,bothphysiologicalandpsycholog- icalcomponentscanbeassessed.Thesecomponentsarethebasisforthe properhandlingofeachphaseandprovideaunifiedmodelforthepsycho- biologicalresponsetostress.Inaddition,parametersofthecyclesuchas frequency,duration,andintensitycanbemeasured,providinganeffective toolforstressmanagement.Finally,moderntechniquesandmechanisms forcopingwithstressarediscussedliketheNorwegianGateTheoryand LazarusDichotomyModel forthe Stress Reaction.Inthe above models, specific examples of how people respond to the first time encounter of stressfuleventsandhowsoldierscopewithstressarepresented.

Description:
The book focuses on the contagion nature of respiratory ailments, the ways a pulmonary disease is spread. Respiratory infections are surrounded by interrelated circumstances that act upon individual and community and eventually underlie morbidity. Patient’s age, vulnerability to infections, immune
