Recent Advances in Pediatrics (Special Volume 24) Respiratory Diseases by Suraj Gupte

It is felt that the RAP Special Vol 24: Respiratory Diseases will handsomely contribute to translating advances in pediatric respiratory diseases from benchside to bedside and yet beyond to the community through a holistic approach.

The 2S peer-reviewed, evidence-based,and state-of-the-art chapters contributed by 31 experts drawn from India, and abroadattempt toreview the depth and breadth of knowledge in the field of pediatric respiratory diseases with special reference to its applicability in Indian subcontinent.

Each and every chapter is remarkable in its excellence, providing a stimulating matured, informed, and, not infrequently, even provocative update. Understandably, such an approach is befitting when the goal is not only to inform but also to motivate discussion, interaction, research and innovation. In keeping with the professed policy ofthe RAP series, a multidisciplinary approach with an eye on future continues to occupy pride of place in this volume as well.

While providing an academic feast in a holistic manner, the treatise should be a landmark in translating pediatric advances from bench side to bedside and beyond to the community, especially in the Indian subcontinent.
