520			_bChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbations covers the definition, diagnosis, epidemiology, mechanisms, and treatment associated with COPD exacerbations. This text also addresses imaging and how it plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and study of exacerbations. Written by today 's top experts, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbations -- is formatted into separate sections covering imaging diagnosis and treatment, making this text practical and easy-to-useexamines current and breakthrough pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatmentsincludes COPD-causing exacerbations such as viral and bacterial infectionsdiscusses the negative environmental factors relating to COPD
