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, involvingbothheritablechangesinthenucleotidesequenceandfunctionally 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.

Naumnik, B. Naumnik, W. Niklin´ska, M. Ossolin´ska, and E. Chyczewska Abstract Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor family molecule,protectsendothelialcellsfromapoptosisinvitroandpromotes neovascularization in vivo. Angiogenesis may be crucial for the course and outcome of sarcoidosis. In this study, we evaluated the clinical usefulness of OPG and its ligand, a soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB (sRANKL), in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in patients with sarcoidosis (BBS, Besniera-Boeck-Schaumann disease). We studied 22 BBS patients and 15 healthy volunteers as a control group. The levels of OPG, sRANKL, and interleukin-18 (IL-18) were measuredby the Elisa method. TheBALF levels ofsRANKL andIL-18 werehigherintheBBSpatientscomparedwithcontrols[sRANKL:2.12 (0.82–10.23) vs. 1.12 (0.79–4.39) pmol/l, p ¼ 0.03; IL-18: 34.29 (12.50–133.70) vs. 13.05 (12.43–25.88) pg/ml, p ¼ 0.001]. There were no significant differences between the concentration of OPG in the BBS patientsandhealthycontrols[0.22(0.14–0.81)vs.0.23(0.14–0.75)pmol/ l].IntheBBSpatientswefoundcorrelationsbetweensRANKLandIL-18 in BALF (r ¼ 0.742, p ¼ 0.0001) and between OPG and lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (r ¼ (cid:2)0.528, p ¼ 0.029). Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to find the cut-off for the BALF level of sRANKL (BBS vs. healthy: 1.32 pmol/l).
