Pathophysiology Q 1.1. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the name applied to two related diseases, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is characterised by abnormal inflammatory obstruction of the airways, lung parenchyma, (respiratory bronchioles and alveoli) and pulmonary blood vessels (Brown, 2013). Research shows that COPD is being recognised as an inflammatory disorder of the large and small airways characterized by remodelling and emphysematous…

The diagnosis of asthma is based on the physician's clinical examination and on pulmonary function. Initially, the doctor will look for clues that can make you think asthma (symptoms characteristic, trigger, etc.). In a second step, in case of suspicion, pulmonary function tests (PFT) will be conducted to measure the breath. For more information on these exams, see our text "How carried the diagnosis of asthma." What are…

Week # 5 Common symptoms of COPD exacerbation Smoking is the leading cause of COPD and served as a trigger for the disease. Smoking damage the airway and the lining of the lung, which lead to a decrease in lung expansion, which then leads to trouble moving air in and out of the lung causing difficulty with breathing, Irregular breathing, Coughing, discoloration of the skin or nail due to the lack of oxygenated blood. According to case study, Mary had signs of COPD…

Your Lungs or Mines There are many reasons why individuals choose to smoke. Most smokers start from a young age trying to fit in with the crowd, trying to look older, or probably just experimenting. As these individuals get older they try and deal with stress of every day life by smoking. It makes them feel more relaxed and at ease. Whatever the reason is, it is a hard habit to break once one starts. For many smokers today it is getting hard to find a place to smoke. I hear many…

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive disease of the lungs that causes obstruction of the airways and results in a gradual decline in the function of the lung (Stark). COPD is typically a combination of emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD has been around for a very long time, however, in previous decades it was called something else. In 1679 physician Bonet called it, ‘voluminous lungs’. In 1814 Charles Badham was the first person…

Physical Therapy is very beneficial to many of the body systems. Further investigation towards the effects of respiratory muscle training for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is critical. Exercise therapy is a regular component in the management of various (chronic) disorders, such as musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, and respiratory disorders. Respiratory diseases are defined as a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe.…

cigarettes be banned, in my personal opinion they should be, because they not only kill the person smoking them, but also the people around them. People who smoke are more likely to develop severe health issues, such as Cancer and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The risk of developing lung cancer while smoking is fifteen to thirty times higher than those who do not smoke.…

the body. Smoking may be an underestimate, because it considers deaths only from the 21 diseases that have been formally established as caused by smoking (12 types of cancer, 6 categories of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], and pneumonia including influenza) (Fielding, 2015). Adults ¥ Have higher chances of having “Cancer, heart disease, breathing problems, harder time getting pregnant, colds and flu, irritated eyes, nose and throat” (Smoke-free,…

Exercise induces a number of cardiovascular and respiratory responses to occur inside the body (1). As exercise commences the demand for oxygen rises in order for the body to continue providing energy for muscular function. To do this, oxygen uptake increases linearly to match skeletal muscle demand, until maximum oxygen consumption is reached (2). Ventilation will increase so more oxygen is being consumed and more carbon dioxide (CO2) is offloaded; cardiac output (the product of stroke volume…
