Therapeutic Approaches to Treat Primary PAP
This is a list of articles published in the scientific and medical literature. Please note the following: (1) articles are arranged in reverse chronological order; (2) the list is by no means exhaustive but represents key articles; (3) references are provided for educational purposes only and are not intended to replace medical advice regarding diagnosis or treatment of PAP.
Most articles can be viewed directly by clicking on the underlined URL hyperlink (blue underlined text) below each citation. In most cases, you will be directed to a web page containing the abstract of the report. Some articles will then have another link termed ‘Full Text’ which will open a web-site containing the full length article. Those without a ‘Full Text’ link will provide the article’s standard citation allowing it to be accessed by other means.
