This is from a great hardcopy textbook but it is probably the worst CD textbook I have ever seen in terms of being difficult to use. Only runs under Netscape and self-configures only with older versions of netscape. Will not really run under mac OSX unless you spend hours setting up a "pseudonetwork" on your computer desktop. They should not be selling this outdated "dinosaur" CD from 2001. Buy it if you want to waste a lot of your time and end up with a very very klutzy interface. Publishing house Saunders should rerelease with a modern interface, or transfer it to different CD publisher. Project leader at W.B. Saunders for this CD should be FIRED!!! or at least seriously demoted or made to listen to Lawrence Welk.

For those interested in pulmonary medicine and physiology (most likely pulmonary fellows or practicing physicians), this is the book you must have on your self. The other main pulmonary textbook that is often referenced is by Fishman's "Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders". Most pulmonary physicians, however, use Murray and Nadel's book as it covers every aspect of pulmonary medicine and physiology in great depth (down to the cellular level). I often used it as a reference to study for pulmonary boards, and the majority of time was able to find an answer. This is a must have.

In the chapter on tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseaes starting on page 1094 chapter 35. In page 1095 it is quoted from reference 12 by Sidiqi et al published in 1984 in the Am Rev Respir Dis, that mycobacterium TB is not inhibted by NAP. I might be wrong, but I think the original paper by Sidiqi mentions the reverse, i.e., NAP inhibits the growth of mycobacterium TB. Please for your comment. Thanks
