Nanoparticles (NPs) have piqued the interest of scientists because of their distinct physical, chemical and biological properties when compared to bulk material. These differences in characteristics can be attributed to the high surface-to-volume ratio (SA:V) of NPs compared to bulk material. Since NPs have a higher SA:V than bulk material, they are more reactive than their bulk counterparts; therefore, the surface characteristics of NPs can be easily manipulated. (Xuefei et al, 2014) Metal NPs…
speak English, so I translated for her. When we arrived to the ER, the doctor did many medical exams, as an example blood test, X-ray, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Later, the doctor came with the results, and he said that my grandmother had bronchitis. The doctor also saw something very rare in her lungs which he called it pulmonary emphysema and in the blood test, the results shows diabetes. When the doctor told me about my grandmother diseases my body completely freeze. The…
COPD is largely preventable and rare in lifelong non-smokers with passive exposure. What this disease mainly does is block or gives airway limitations. It is associated with an abnormal inflammatory response to the lungs. The two types of COPD are bronchitis and emphysema. Both…

When a teenager starts smoking and they continue to do so, it can greatly affect their future ahead of them. Cancer sticks contain over 4,000 chemicals that that contain cancer-causing and…
my Science class I had Parker Holland-dunn and Alberto Ramon. We had a good time in that class. In my Algebra class I had AJ (m) and Kelly Hayes. I failed Algebra with like a 15%. I had like 5% Q3. It was only because I had Bronchitis and pneumonia for two weeks. I had bronchitis for a week and went back to school for a couple days then went back to the doctor and had pneumonia, and missed another week of school. Also I just really didn’t care about Algebra since you only need 3 years of math. I…
and chronic obstruction of lung airflow that interferes with normal breathing.” (World health organization 2015) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), includes asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema and is a “chronic non-curable disease”. (Long, M. B., Bekelman, D. B., & Make, B. 2014) Chronic bronchitis is an inflammation of the airway structures, causing a cough (that lasts three months out of the year for two years), phlegm, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. (Corbridge, S.,…
blood pressure and increases heart rate and is also bad for the person because it will cause all kinds of problems later on in life. Smoking is very bad because a lot of people don’t know what smoking can do to them. It will cause problems like bronchitis and lung cancer and all other problems. Tobaccos on the other hand kills a lot of people because even that’s…
(MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Research shows that these two coronaviruses are both deadly and severe their diseases are. They both have caused assorted respiratory difficulties including pneumonia, organ dysfunction, bronchitis,cough and fever, and deficiency of breath. SARS and MERS are very similar in that both their origins have been recognized as bats. Although in MERS, it is also said to have originated in both certain species of bats and camels.…
How do two countries have pollution so severe that the population is merely sustainable for living in the conditions? Sixteen of the cities located in China are the targets for immense amounts of pollution, and while there were tasks attained to clear it up, there were no long-term effects. India has found it difficult to clean up their air pollution because they are afraid that it will slow down their economic growth. Environmental issues in the countries of India and China have made a…
A COPD case study will be assessed and discussed. Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2017 guidelines will be analyzed and applied to the case study presented below. Patient monitoring, education strategies, and clinical end point of the chosen drug therapy will be identified. Sample dosages form, route, and frequency of administration based on patients’ health status will be justified. Finally, the efficacy of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) will be…
