This book sums up the mechanistic basis, current status, and future prospects of steroid inhalation as the cornerstone of prophylactic
asthma therapy, identifying its kinetic basis-especially the essential airway selectivity-and including a
historical account of inhaled glucocorticoid development.Makes connections among the underlying pharmacology, impact of new simulation models, newly recognized molecular targets, and therapeutic outcomes of short- and long-term steroid
inhalation therapy!Containing more than 1600 works cited, drawings, tables, equations, and micrographs, Inhaled Steroids in Asthmadescribes the developmental history of inhaled steroids and provides general models for lung
