Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

mechanical ventilation and the many effects it has on a patient’s organ systems. The cardiovascular system can be affected along with the pulmonary and renal systems. Cardiovascular side effects depend upon the previous underlying cardiopulmonary status of each patient. Conditions pertaining to congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) cause hyperinflation, which compresses the heart and lungs. There are studies that are shown in this paper including…

system. There are many diseases that can affect the cardiac cycle and the BP. These diseases can affect our circulatory system, lungs, and our heart’s ability to function properly. When the cardiac cycle and BP are affected then the body is in danger of being greatly damaged. The cardiac cycle is what causes the BP to rise and fall. This occurs first through a ventricular contraction. When this contraction of the ventricles happens the blood is forced to go into the pulmonary artery and the…

Bacteria or viral pneumonia of any kind can have the potential to be contagious. Mycoplasma Pneumonia and tuberculosis are highly contagious. .

The normal contagious period of pneumonia is ranged in one to two days to two weeks. If you have bacterial pneumonia, it is common that it is less contagious. How can you prevent Pneumonia? There are many ways that…

II. Health Problems for Further Assessment and Follow-up Chronic Respiratory Disease Based on Mr. Jim’s history of cigarette smoking, the chronic respiratory disease that he could be suffering from is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is primarily caused by cigarette smoking and is typified by partially reversible, progressive airway obstruction, systemic manifestations, lung inflation, and increased severity and frequency of exacerbations (O’Donnell et al. 2007, p. 5). Jim’s…

of normal and autoimmune mice producing IL-10 and hence also called the B10 cells. As this phenotype is identifies to regulate T cell dependent inflammatory response, they are researched for role in myasthenia gravis and other neuro inflammatory diseases. C. Terbutaline is a B2 adrenergic receptor agonist causing vasodilation, smooth muscle relaxation and skeletal muscle contractions.…

shooting out of a person’s lungs. That is COPD. COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is a mixture of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD gets worse over time, and is irreversible. The damage it does to the lungs is far too severe to heal. Most people with COPD die from this disease, and sadly, my father was diagnosed five months ago. Since the diagnosis, my father has discovered some ways to cope with this disease, my family learned a great deal from it, and my conclusion…

healthcare and government, which increase the need for public health education. Policy and societal changes need to take place to prevent chronic illnesses that can be avoided by life choices that currently are nearly impossible. If health education does not increase to help prevent public health concerns such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity are going to continue onto take even more of a toll on society than they currently do.

Children have always had a different mortality rate than other age groups due to the many diseases that affect different age groups. Due to different severities of diseases some may lead to death, especially in young children after not having a fully grown immune system. There a few main diseases that have a high death rate due to the different symptoms, causes, and prevention. Three of the main diseases or illnesses that caused death in children in the 1970s are gastroenteritis, pneumonia, and…

and therefore experience higher levels of heart disease as a cause of death. While economic growth has helped increase life expectancy and has had a positive impact on improving health, it’s also brought about new health challenges. Changing lifestyles have meant that non-communicable diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes are now among the biggest health problems in China. Huang explained that these non-communicable diseases are “arising faster than expected, affecting…
