More DescriptionDespite the great successes in recent years in the treatment of asthma, the problems of this disease are now affecting more people than ever before. Such is the importance of this disease that the British Pharmaceutical Conference (1996) devoted two full days to the matter, exploring the scientific background, the current medical treatment and public attitudes. New advances in understanding the disease and new drug developments were described by a range of experts from the pharmaceutical industry and from clinical academics. The considerable advances being made in understanding the biochemistry of asthma, with the new discipline of biotechnology playing a major role, were also discussed. The papers published in this collection are essential reading for all those who wish to stay abreast of progress in this challenging field.
