    Extractions: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) COPD is a term that refers to a large group of lung diseases which can interfere with normal breathing. It is estimated that 11 percent of the US population has COPD. The two most common conditions of COPD are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The causes of COPD are not fully understood. It is generally agreed that the most important cause of chronic bronchitis and emphysema is cigarette smoking. Causes such as air pollution and occupational exposures may play a role, especially when combined with cigarette smoking. Heredity also plays a contributing role in some patients' emphysema, and is especially important in a rare form due to alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency. Symptoms

    Extractions: Lung Volume Reduction Surgery Patient Success Story Education Resources Emphysema (a type of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD) occurs when the walls of the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs are damaged, becoming less elastic and therefore less able to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. Some alveoli may narrow and collapse while others stretch out of shape and become abnormally large. As a result, the lungs gradually become floppy and overexpanded, making it increasingly difficult for the person to move air in and out of them. Emphysema is usually caused by chronic irritation of the lung tissue, most commonly by cigarette smoke but sometimes by environmental pollutants as well. It can also be caused by an illness such as asthma or tuberculosis, allergy or infection, or an inherited deficiency of a protein called alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT). People with emphysema typically experience early symptoms such as troubled breathing or shortness of breath while engaging in normal activities like walking, climbing stairs, or doing household chores. If the condition advances without treatment, they may experience:

Chronic bronchitis and emphysema stop the lungs from working properly, typically causing breathlessness and wheezing. The two conditions lead to similar symptoms and are often referred to as "chronic obstructive pulmonary disease", or COPD for short. The biggest single cause of COPD is smoking, and the risk increases with the number of cigarettes smoked. Due to industrial smoke and pollutants, it is also more common in people living in cities than in the country, and in people who work in dusty environments. Generally, it is more likely to affect older people and the vast majority of sufferers are aged 70 to 85. Each year, around 28,000 people die from COPD. Bronchitis means inflammation of the bronchi – the main airways that lead from the trachea (windpipe) into the lungs. This inflammation may be caused by irritants, such as tobacco smoke or by infection.

These diseases include chronic bronchitis, asthma and emphysema. Of the more than 16 million Americans with COPD, nearly 3 million have symptomatic emphysema and millions more are in the early stages of the disease before signs and symptoms appear. Unlike asthma, which occurs when the muscles in your airways tighten, emphysema causes a loss of elasticity in the walls of the small air sacs in your lungs. Eventually, the walls stretch and break, creating larger, less efficient air sacs that aren't able to handle the normal exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Certain individuals are also genetically disposed towards emphysema; this form is called alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) emphysema. Extensive smoking can lead to irreparable lung damage, even if you quit smoking. In these cases, the condition is not likely to improve and death by respiratory or cardiac (heart) failure is the inevitable outcome (months to years). Is smoking worth three years on a respirator as your body wastes away? Quit today, if not for yourself then for your friends and families who don't want to deal with that.

    Extractions: Tobacco use and smoking are very dangerous addictions which commonly cause a wide variety of diseases, cancer and death. The vast majority of tobacco users and smokers are hooked when they are children. During this time period they are easily influenced by peer pressure and advertising. Once hooked, the majority of tobacco users become hopelessly addicted. Studies indicate that nonsmokers are also adversely affected by environmental tobacco smoke. There are 4000 chemicals in tobacco with 100 identified poisons and 63 known drugs which cause cancer. The most talked about drug in tobacco is nicotine. Nicotine is vasoconstrictor and a nerve toxin, it has been classified as a class I insecticide. Other poisons include: Arsenic, Cyanide, Formaldehyde (used to embalm bodies), Ammonia Bromide (a toilet cleaner )- Ref. 1.

    Extractions: Emphysema is the most common cause of death coughing and shortness of breath occur. In the latter stages, the lungs cannot supply sufficient oxygen to the blood. Emphysema often occurs with other respiratory diseases, particularly chronic bronchitis. Doctors, therefore, often refer to these diseases as one, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Emphysema is most common among people age 50 and older. Those with inherited emphysema may experience onset as early as their 30s or 40s. Males are more likely to develop emphysema by as much as 22%, but female cases are increasing as the number of female smokers rises. In 1993, 1.9 million people in the United States had emphysema. The symptoms of emphysema develop gradually over many years. Shortness of breath, a chronic mild cough, and sometimes weight loss are associated with emphysema. Coughing up a clear mucus (sputum) often occurs. Initially, a patient may only notice shortness of breath when he or she is exercising. However, as the disease progresses, it will occur with less exertion or no exertion at all. Emphysema patients may also develop an enlarged chest. Those with chronic emphysema are at risk for other complications resulting from weakened lung function. These include

    Extractions: What is emphysema? What is Asthma? This document was last revised on August 13, 2002 by F.W. Grannis Jr. MD. Emphysema is physical destruction of lung tissue that results in obstruction to air flow and development of enlarged air sacs. Emphysema is a smoking related disease that causes progressive obstruction of the airways and destruction of lung tissue. Because the airway is obstructed, more energy is required to ventilate the lungs. The patient will experience shortness of breath, and as the disease progresses, will become progressively limited in the ability to exercise. Chronic Bronchitis is a chronic disease of the airways that results in production of excess secretions and chronic infection. Both chronic bronchitis and emphysema reduce the ability of the patient to safely recover from surgical or radiation therapy. Patients with severe COPD are unable to cough effectively and clear secretions. The result can be steadily worsening difficulty in breathing during the post-operative period, culminating in respiratory failure and sometimes death. Damage to the lungs begins early on in smokers. Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) is a commonly used measure of lung function. In adolescent smokers FEV1 is reduced by an average of 390 ml in boys and 360 ml in girls (i.e. approximately 10-15% reduction). Reduction in FEV1 occurs normally with aging, but is faster in smokers by 15ml./year. By middle age 18% of male smokers have FEV1 reduced more than 2 standard deviations. The deficits are larger if there are other causes of obstruction such as asthma "the horse racing effect". Kerstjens et. al.. Decline in FEV1 by age and smoking status: facts figures and fallacies.

The money spent, even back then, by the tobacco companies, were in the billions of dollars, just in advertisements and cigarette handouts. Even now, their advertising dollars are directed to the younger generation.

Just click on Cigarette Ads Glenda Jones I have a disease know as emphysema. I would like to give all teenagers a brief description of my life as a person with emphysema. The facts that I provide to you will be a true-life experience of my trials and tribulation of my disease. Young people sometimes do not realize that smoking can destroy their future. They do not understand the problems that can develop from smoking. They do not understand the affect it can have on their health. When I was a young person, I never realized that smoking could diminish the most important factor in my life my breathing. When you can't breath you begin to realize how insignificant a cigarette can be in meeting your daily habit. I wish now I had never had a habit of smoking. I realize now breathing is a life function you can not live without, but cigarettes you can. If you had endured the pain I have suffered throughout the last ten years, you would never smoke a cigarette. I have had several collapsed lungs. I have had my back cut open, and had my lung partially removed. I have also spent months at a time in a hospital away from my family. The suffering is still not over; I now have to have my other lung partially removed. This procedure will prolong my life, for a later lung transplant.

    Extractions: March-April 1999 Every Breath You Take Preventing and Treating EMPHYSEMA by Carol Lewis We begin life with a breath, and the process continues automatically without a thought. It's only when we can't take a deep breath or, as in Shirley Gooden's case, can't catch our breath at all without effort, that we become aware of how precious easy breathing really is. Gooden, whose breathing is now supplemented with the help of an oxygen tank, was diagnosed with emphysema 14 years ago. Since then, the 68-year-old Bethesda, Md., resident has gradually felt the effects that the debilitating disease has had on her life as well as her lungs. "I'm held back from interacting with my grandchildren, " Gooden says, and like the healthy lungs she used to have, "that's something I can never get back." While it is true that the damage done to Gooden's lungs is not reversible, the disease is manageable, says John S. Saia, M.D., a pulmonary specialist with the Rockville Internal Medicine Group in Maryland, and Gooden's doctor. Saia adds that state-of-the-art medical advances can offer relief from many of the troubling symptoms of emphysema, and help patients breathe easier. What Is Emphysema?
