Kendig and Wilmott’s Disorders of the Respiratory Tract in Children, 10th ed. by
The authors and editors have extensively refreshed this new volume, the 10th edition. All the chapters have been rewritten. Many authors have retired, and we thank them for earlier contributions. We have nearly 90 new authors and 11 new chapters. As well as standard old favorites, we have a chapter on big data and -omics in respiratory disease, a topic that has exploded since the last edition. COVID has an important place in the chapter on novel respiratory diseases. The evils of vaping and nicotine addiction have a chapter, which is important as the tobacco industry markets aggressively and successfully to children and young people. Increased molecular knowledge has led to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and pulmonary lymphatic disorders being separated from congenital lung disease and being allocated their own chapters. Obesity and its consequences figure in many chapters as prevalence increases, not least due to worsening child poverty. There is also a huge new library of on-line video resources, especially including bronchoscopic videos thanks to Bob Wood. This greatly augments what was available in the previous edition.

Neonatology Questions and Controversies: The Newborn Lung, 4th ed. by
Chapters from leading experts provide the reader with the most current developments in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of the most common neonatal respiratory problems.
While there are important advances in respiratory management that have been implemented to reduce lung damage and long-term sequelae in extremely premature infants, the incidence of complications of neonatal intensive care remains unacceptably high. Ongoing and future research will seek to improve our understanding of injury mechanisms and focus on intact survival, not only survival itself.
The fourth edition of The Newborn Lung emphasizes those areas where there have been major new developments in recent years, and several chapters deal with strategies that may reduce lung damage and some of the consequences of neonatal respiratory failure and its management.
