Free Download Lung Ultrasound: A Leading Diagnostic Tool by Marcello Demi, Gino Soldati
English | PDF | 2023 | 328 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 46.8 MB
I remember the first time I met Dr. Soldati. He came into my lab and started talking about resonance and bridges collapsing when soldiers passed by. You can imagine my disorientation; I told Soldati that I had already taken several projects on board and could not commit to a new one. This was not true; I had just finished the analysis of a convincing mathematical model of retinal vision and was looking for new ideas to develop. However, the premises were not good and I declined the offer of collaboration. Obviously, Soldati did not give up and, over the following days, returned several times until he succeeded. I do not remember what clicked in my head, but, surely, curiosity got the better of me and his farfetched idea began to translate into more understandable engineering language.

Free Download Lung Cancer Screening: A Population Approach by Gregory C. Kane, Julie A. Barta, Ronald E. Myers, Nathaniel R. Evans III
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 388 Pages | ISBN : 3031335953 | 30.5 MB
This book is a comprehensive guide to lung cancer screening for clinicians, healthcare systems, community leaders, and public health officials with the hope of creating a more equitable landscape in both lung cancer screening and lung cancer-related outcomes, at local, state, and national levels. Authors take a new approach to primary and secondary lung cancer prevention that is in the early stages of adoption in the United States. The last decade ushered in recognition of screening as an effective intervention, but unfortunately, despite the wide acceptance of the importance of this new screening modality, nationally, not more than 5% of eligible subjects have undergone screening to date in the United States, although in some states uptake has reached as high as 16%. As is common with any new preventive cancer screening, racial and socioeconomic disparities emerge in utilization, stage at diagnosis, and mortality. Over time, these disparities decline, but consequential differences endure. Therefore, it is critical to establish equitable screening practices.

Free Download Advances in Radiation Oncology in Lung Cancer, Third Edition by Branislav Jeremić
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 1128 Pages | ISBN : 303134846X | 53.3 MB
This is the third, completely updated edition of a comprehensive book in which many of the world’s leading lung cancer specialists discuss the recent advances in the radiation oncology of lung cancer and reflect on the latest research findings in lung cancer and other intrathoracic malignancies. Lung cancer remains the major cancer killer in both sexes worldwide. It is so despite significant progress in recent decades in both diagnostic and treatment approaches. New biological and technological advances in this field are now faster incorporated in the overall decision-making process and are bringing fast and substantial improvements in both survivals and quality of life of lung cancer patients. Optimized patient-oriented approaches are reality of the third decade of this millennium and thoracic oncologists strive towards nothing but seamlessly delivering it in a continuous battle with lung cancer.
