Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a lung disease that makes breathing difficult. It is progressive which means it gets worse over time if left untreated. In COPD‚ less air flows in and out of the airways because of one of the following: the airways and air sacs lose their elastic quality‚ the walls between many of the air sacs are destroyed‚ the walls of the airways become thick and inflamed and/ or the airways make more mucus than usual. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/copd/

To test the adaptation to the lung we can use pulmonary functions test to examine the effectiveness of lung muscles functioning‚ to check the vital capacity and to estimate the lung volumes. The function of the lung is to deliver O2 to gas exchanged surface and exhaust CO2 to atmosphere. To achieve this with brain functioning normally‚ breath begins with contraction of inspiratory

appropriate screening method for lung cancer in this patient? A: 3 consecutive sputum samples for cytology B: Chest radiography • The reason this is the wrong answer is because there is no mortality benefit that is associated with the yearly screening with a chest radiography. C: Low-dose CT of the chest • Because of the lack of mortality benefit from chest radiograph a low dose CT is recommended. Studies show that low-dose CT of the chest can identify early asymptomatic lung cancer. The USPSTF

These aberrant cells do not carry out the functions of mundane lung cells and do not develop into salubrious lung tissues. As they grow‚ the anomalous cells can compose tumors and interfere with the functioning of the lungs‚ which provides oxygen to the body via blood. There are two main

Cancer comes in many forms such as lung cancer‚ colon cancer‚ breast cancer and skin cancer. I’ve chosen to write about lung cancer because my grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer a few years ago. She doesn’t smoke now‚ but she did smoke for over fifty years. Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Cigarette smoking causes most lung cancers. The earlier you start smoking and how often you smoke increases your chance of developing lung cancer. High levels of pollution‚ radiation
