Numerous pulmonary diseases manifest with upper lobe predominance including cystic fibrosis, smoking-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and tuberculosis. Zonal hypoxia, characteristic of these pulmonary maladies, and oxygen stress in general is known to exert profound effects on various important aspects of cell biology. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Current diagnostic criteria based on the presence of fixed airflow obstruction and symptoms do not integrate the complex pathological changes occurring within the lung Abbreviations: microRNA, miRNA; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD; MiRNAs have been found to be associated with diverse biological processes in lung diseases such as lung cancer, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and chronic and found that miR-218 levels modulate airway epithelial gene expression in Of the various pulmonary diseases, TNFα is implicated in asthma, chronic bronchitis (CB), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In addition to its underlying role in the inflammatory events, there is increasing evidence for involvement of TNFα in the cytotoxicity. Both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer are There is a clear role for genetics since only 15% of lifetime smokers develop lung with improved outcome following lung volume reduction surgery. And have described numerous putative biological markers of lung cancer [72]. As a cold ends, a severe mucus cough starts. Sound familiar? Two studies now give explanations: First, crucial mechanisms of the mucus in both diseased and healthy airways; second, what happens in such chronic lung diseases as cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease both involve chronic inflammation of the lungs. But Peter Barnes explains how the inflammatory mediators and cells involved differ between the two diseases and how this affects their responsiveness to corticosteroids and ot Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a leading cause of death and disability, but has only recently been extensively explored from a cellular and molecular perspective. There is a chronic inflammation that leads to fixed narrowing of small airways and alveolar wall destruction (emphysema). This is characterised increased numbers of The chronic lung diseases, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are common affecting over 500 million people worldwide and causing substantial morbidity and mortality. Asthma is typically associated with Th2-mediated eosinophilic airway inflammation, in contrast to neutrophilic inflammation observed commonly in COPD.

Errors in inhaler handling, not taken into account in clinical trials, could impact drug delivery and minimise treatment benefit. We aimed to assess real-life inhaler device handling in COPD patients and its association with COPD INTRODUCTION Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common respiratory condition characterized airflow limitation [1,2]. It affects more than 5 percent of the population and is associated with high morbidity and mortality [3,4]. It is the fourth-ranked cause of death in the United GBD 2015 Chronic Respiratory Disease Collaborators Global, regional, and national deaths, prevalence, disability-adjusted life years, and years lived with disability for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, 1990 2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a leading cause of death and disability, but COPD is a major and increasing global health problem, which is predicted to While COPD and asthma both involve inflammation in the respiratory tract at different lung volumes to indicate the contribution of alveolar disease (and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised poorly reversible airflow obstruction and an abnormal inflammatory response in the lungs. The latter represents the innate and adaptive immune responses to long term exposure to noxious particles and gases, particularly cigarette smoke. All cigarette smokers have some Tobacco-related diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), account for 3.7% of the world burden of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), a measure of lost years of healthy life.Tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, and unhealthy diets and physical inactivity contribute to most preventable non-communicable diseases. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 (Gelatinase B, 92-kD type IV collagenase, EC 3.4.24.35) is an MMP that is present in low quantities in the healthy adult lung, but much more abundant in several lung diseases, including asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Disordered microbial communities in asthmatic airways. non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
