A Case-Based Approach to Interventional Pulmonology: A Focus on Asian Perspectives focuses on various aspects of Interventional Pulmonology (IP) based on clinical case scenarios. Today evidence-based medicine and statistics are ruling our daily practice. Thus each case is unique regardless of what the theory predicts. This asian perspective of Interventional Pulmonology (IP) is also of great importance given the differences in the etiologies compared to Read More

Artificial intelligence (AI) is viewed as one of the technological advances that will reshape modern societies and their relations.
