ERS Summer School in adult or paediatric respiratory medicine

Join us in Lisbon, Portugal on June 20–23, 2018 for the ERS Summer School in adult or paediatric respiratory medicine. The summer schools provide an opportunity for all respiratory professionals to update their knowledge against European standards by offering a comprehensive overview of each of the major fields of adult or paediatric respiratory medicine based on the HERMES syllabus. ERS Summer Schools are also the prefect way to prepare for the 2018 ERS HERMES examinations.

ERJ Early View

Manuscripts that have recently been accepted for publication in the European Respiratory Journal are now published in their accepted form, prior to copyediting and typesetting. After these production processes are complete and the authors have approved the resulting proofs, the articles move to the latest issue of the ERJ online.

ERS Monograph: Thoracic Ultrasound Edited by Christian B. Laursen, Najib M. Rahman and Giovanni Volpicelli

Thoracic ultrasound is now considered an essential bedside tool in respiratory medicine. Despite this, several aspects are yet to be studied and assessed, and international consensus remains limited. With this in mind, the Guest Editors of this Monograph have selected a broad range of authors who are recognised experts, represent different specialities and use thoracic ultrasound in different settings. The result is that each chapter not only reflects expert opinion at a single site in Europe, but provides a multidisciplinary and multicentre view. Chapters include: physics and basic principles; techniques and protocols; pneumothorax; pneumonia; lung tumours; the upper abdomen; and thoracic ultrasound in newborns, infants and children.
