Lung

pulmonary disease(COPD) is a respiratory disease which leads by the abnormal inflammation of the lungs. It response to the inhalation of toxic gases, pollutants, and cigarette smoke. The chronic inflammation creates difficulty to breath. In overall, more than five hundred peoplesare diagonised with COPD. It classified as chronic bronchitis and Emphysema.Our lungs are spongy tissues, Bronchi which inside the lung which connected to the Trachea the wind pipe, the bronchi is expended to…

and that these continuous requirements are met. Exploring the main role of the respiratory system in this process and its relationship with the cardiovascular system is best explained in 4 main steps. 1. “Uptake in the lungs 2. Carrying capacity of blood 3. Global delivery from lungs to tissue 4. Cellular use of oxygen” (Treacher &…

What is asthma? Asthma is a day-and-night lung weakness that lights and limits the air travel routes. Asthma reasons repeating times of wheezing (a shrieking sound when you inhale), mid-section snugness, shortness of breath, and hacking. The hacking regularly happens during the evening or at a young hour in the morning. To comprehend asthma, it knows how the flying routes work. The navigation routes are tubes that do air into and of your lungs. Individuals who have asthma have excited aviation…

Nutrition Nutrition following lung transplantation is very important to patient healing. After transplant the patient should initially focus on consuming a high protein high calorie diet to promote healing. Foods high in protein like meat, eggs and pasteurized dairy products. Lung transplantation patients are on immunosuppression therapy so they are at a greater susceptibility for infection. These patients should not eat undercooked meats like sushi and they should eat red meat well done. Raw…

Unfortunately there is no known cure for asthma and those who have asthma never “grow” out of it they simply become dormant. However by working very closely with your primary doctor the two of you can manage…

Please hand your individual work into the Student Centre by the deadline. Exercise 1: Lung Volumes and Capacities The predicted values are based on the Goldman and Becklake equations for Pulmonary Function (cited from the John Hopkins Pulmonary Laboratory). 1.

well as damage the lungs. The main focus with irritants is caused by cigarette smoke, air pollution, chemical fumes as well as dust. At times with COPD you may not feel symptoms; there can either be no symptoms or mild symptoms. As the disease gets worse symptoms will then progress, they can then increase and become severe. Some of the symptoms can be cough with mucus, shortness of breath, wheezing, and/or chest tightness. Doctors may request exams and test. A common test is a lung…

The disease of the lungs, COPD, can be traced back to the 1600’s. It was the year 1679 when Swizz physician, Bonet, defined the disease as “voluminous lungs.” About a century later Italian anatomist, Giovanni Morgagni, termed cases of the lungs as “turgid.” A series of illustrations of the emphysematous lung putting forth the pathology of the disease was published by Baillie in 1789, thus emphysema was known to be a part of COPD early one (Mandal 2013). Over the years, Chronic Bronchitis became…

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) COPD is a type of lung disease marked by permanent damage to tissues in the lungs, making it hard to breathe. COPD includes chronic bronchitis, bronchi are inflamed and scarred and also emphysema, the alveoli are damaged. It develops over many years and is usually caused by cigarette smoking; pollutants, irritants, dust and chemical fumes can also be a cause. COPD is a progressive disease, which means it gets worse over time. Causing your…

Bronchiectasis Description Bronchiectasis is a lung condition in which there is stretching and enlargement of bronchial tubes (airways) of the lungs. It is permanent abnormal dilatation of one or more bronchi/ bronchiole due to destruction of ciliated epithelium, elastic and muscular tissue. The destructive process may be initiated by primary microbial infection (necrotizing pneumonia, tuberculosis, aspergillosis, etc.) or obstruction (foreign body, tumour, lymph node, etc.) resulting in stasis…
