Obesity and COPD are chronic health conditions with an increasing incidence globally. They are the major causes for increasing morbidity and mortality. COPD is diagnosed with the use of spirometry and BMI is used for the diagnosis of obesity (1). In the United States‚ 6% of adults have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and 35% are obese (2). There are cases present where patients have comorbid COPD and obesity. Pulmonary issues are associated with obesity‚ some of which include a decrease

Summary of the Practice Issue Poorly managed COPD increases the patients’ risk of a faster progression of the disease and decreased activity tolerance to perform activities of daily living (ADLs)‚ such as walking‚ preparing meals‚ performing self-care‚ and obtaining medications from the pharmacy when needed (American Lung Association‚ 2016). Further‚ lack or patient knowledge concerning avoidance of environmental risk factors‚ proper medication administration‚ and the importance of joining a smoking

list of items‚ both tangible and non tangible‚ that trees give us. First of all‚ as we all know‚ trees are the most important and the only natural source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Without oxygen[->0]‚ life is not possible on earth. Trees consume the carbon dioxide[->1] from the environment and give out oxygen which balances the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide[->2] in the atmosphere. In addition to this‚ the wood that we obtain from trees is used in making paper‚ building houses‚ making furniture[->3]

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease‚ commonly known as COPD by most people‚ disrupts the airflow going in and out of the lungs which reduces lung function. This disease was the third leading cause of death in the United States in 2011. It has been expected that about 32 million people in the United States today have this disease. COPD occurs more often in men than in it does in women (COPD). Studies show that one can learn what Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is‚ understand how it disturbs

waters‚ such as lakes and streams. Phosphates are essential to aquatic plant growth‚ but too much phosphate can lead to the growth of algae and results in an algae bloom. Too much algae can cause a decrease in the amount in dissolved oxygen in the water. Oxygen in water is affected in many different ways by phosphates Phosphorus is usually present in natural waters as phosphate(Mcwelsh and Raintree‚ 1998). Phosphates are present in fertilizers and laundry detergents and can enter the water from

Oxygen Exchange and Transport Oxygen exchange or respiration takes place at a respiratory surface; a boundary between the external environment and the interior of the body. Gas exchange is the process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide (the respiratory gases) move in opposite directions across an organism’s respiratory membranes‚ between the air or water of the external environment and the body fluids of the internal environment. Oxygen is needed by cells to extract energy from organic molecules
