Akute Chronische Bronchitis, Oral Corticosteroids for COPD
#1
Question 
[size=4][b]Akute Chronische Bronchitis - Oral Corticosteroids for COPD[/b][/size][hr]COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a group of diseases that consist of chronic bronchitis, emphysema and asthmatic bronchitis. Oral corticosteroids tend to work best against COPD with an asthmatic component. Oral corticosteroid is a sufferer of COPD. Oral corticosteroids reduce irritation, swelling and mucus production. A physician may initiate a short trial in patients to determine if they respond to steroids. This trial lasts two to three weeks. If there is no immediate effect after continuous use of oral corticosteroids, this means that they have no value for the use of oral corticosteroids. Wink

Long term use of corticosteroids has many side effects such as water retention, bruising, puffy face, increased appetite, weight gain and stomach irritation. It may also impair bone metabolism. For an elderly population, the continuous use of oral corticosteroids for COPD has possible cardiac side effects. Recent studies notice that patients who show continuous use of oral corticosteroids for COPD may also suffer from acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Some proof suggests that patients with COPD who respond to corticosteroids have eosinophilic inflammation and other attributes of an asthma phenotype. Research on oral corticosteroids for COPD exacerbations reports improve lung function and reduced hospitalization. The incidence of treatment failure in the form of return to the hospital, death, or the need for a tube inserted through the mouth or nose and into the chest to deliver oxygen is also reduced.

[size=large][b]Corticosteroid Tablet is Used When the Inflammation Becomes Severe[/b][/size][hr]Oral corticosteroids have clinically significant effects on symptoms, exacerbations and health status. Oral corticosteroids inconsistently progress lung function in stable outpatients with COPD. In addition, there is a realistic proof for the use of systemic corticosteroids during acute exacerbations of COPD. Using oral corticosteroids for COPD patients decrease death rate and hospitalization. Suppressing our knowledge on Bronchitis is not our intention here. In fact, we mean to let everyone know more about Bronchitis after reading this!

[size=large][b]Oral Corticosteroids Should be Used Carefully, to Avoid Excessive Weight Loss[/b][/size][hr]Oral corticosteroid reduces the duration and impact of exacerbations. They improve the airflow and lung function, but there are increased side effects such as diabetes and osteoporosis. Low dose oral corticosteroid is often used in the treatment of acute exacerbations of COPD. Oral corticosteroids may be used when symptoms rapidly worsen (COPD exacerbation), especially when there is an increased mucus production. This is a dependable source of information on Asthmatic Bronchitis. All that has to be done to verify its authenticity is to read it!

Comfrey has a long history of effectiveness as a healer plant. It has the reputation of being able to knit bones together thus accounting for many of the common names (boneset, nipbone, knitbone, and healing herb).

[list][*]Comfrey leaves are similar to Foxglove leaves, though they have smaller veins not extending into the wings of the leaf-stalk.[*]The leafy stem, 2 to 3 feet high, is stout, angular and hollow, broadly winged at the top and covered with bristly hairs.[*]The lower, radical leaves are very large, up to 10 inches long and covered with rough hairs which make people itch when they touch them.[*]The flowers are either creamy yellow or purple, growing on short stalks.[*]They appear in April or early May.[/list]

Modern medicinal tincture, employed by homoeopaths, is made from the root with spirits of wine, and 10 drops in a tablespoonful of water are administered several times a day. Internally, the leaves are taken in the form of an infusion, 1 oz. of the leaves to 1 pint of boiling water.

The leaf has been tea that is gargled or used as a mouthwash to relieve throat infections, hoarseness, and bleeding gums. One reason for its effectiveness is its abundance of calcium and vitamin C and contains carotene (vitamin A), B12, and chlorophyll. Keeping to the point is very important when writing. So we have to stuck to Bronchitis, and have not wandered much from it to enhance understanding.

[size=large][b]Comfrey is Effective as a Healer Because It Contains Allantoin[/b][/size][hr]This is able to help grow new flesh and bone cells and accelerate the healing process. It also reduces the inflammation of pulled tendons. An extract can be used for acne and athletes foot. It is also used for certain female problems. Comfrey tea and extract has been used as a douche for yeast infections. Poultices applied to sore and caked breasts, helps the tenderness leave very quickly. We have used a mixture of seriousness and jokes in this composition on Bronchitis. This is to liven the mood when reading about Bronchitis.

Quote:Many claim that comfrey is so safe that anyone can use as much as they want any time. However, a few precautions are in order. Care should be taken when using Comfrey with very deep wounds as its rapid healing power can lead to tissue forming over the wound before it is healed deeper down, possibly leading to abscesses. Make sure that wounds are thoroughly cleaned and protected from infection. It is always better to use simple English when writing descriptive articles, like this one on Pleurisy Bronchitis. It is the layman who may read such articles, and if he can't understand it, what is the point of writing it?

[list][*]People who smoke, or live with smokers, often cough a great deal.[*]It's usually referred to as smokers cough, but in over 80% of all cases, it's COPD.[/list]

[size=large][b]Chronic Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]Chronic bronchitis exhibits inflammation and swelling of the lining of the airways of the lungs. This will leads to narrowing and obstruction of the airways. The inflammation evokes production of mucous, which itself further obstructs the airways. You may be filled with astonishment with the amount of information we have compile here on Bronchitis. that was our intention, to astonish you.

The result of improperly exchanged gases means that the person with will not be able to properly expel carbon dioxide and take in the necessary oxygen. Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis proved to be the foundation for the writing of this page. We have used all facts and definitions of Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis to produce worthwhile reading material for you. Big Grin.

[*]Emphysema Emphysema is the permanent enlargement of the alveoli (air sacks in the lungs).[*]This is caused by the destruction of the alveolar walls, reducing the elasticity of the lungs generally.[*]This loss of elasticity results in the collapse of the bronchioles, further obstructing airflow out of the alveoli.[*]Smoker's cough is only a symptom in about 12% of the cases, and usually the problem is COPD.[*]If you have COPD, there are medications and techniques to help you.[/list]

To just take some over-the-counter cough medicine, or 'live with it' is endangering who whole life. COPD? COPD stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and is usually a combination of two similar maladies, i.e. chronic bronchitis and chronic emphysema. We were a bit tentative when embarking on this project on Bronchitis Emphysema. However, using the grit and determination we have, we have produced some fine reading material on Bronchitis Emphysema.

[list][*]With early care, some patients with COPD can have the symptoms partially reversed, with asthma medications (bronchodilators).[*]These medications both enlarge and dilate the air passages.[*]Without care, great complications can (and will) develop with an early death as a result.[/list]

Air cannot leave the alveoli, so the lungs lose their ability to shrink during exhalation. The reduced exhalation reduces then the amount of air that is inhaled. It follows that less air and the normal exchange of gasses gets into and out of the lungs. An idle brain, is a devil's workshop they say. Using this ideology in mind, we ventured to write on Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis, so that something productive would be achieved of our minds.

This eventually leads to bacterial lung infections, and other dangerous complications. Chronic bronchitis is a daily cough with production of mucus for 90 days. The cough is persistent, often accompanied by fever. Writing something about Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis seemed to be something illogical in the beginning. However, with the progress of matter, it seemed logical. Matter just started pouring in, to give you this finished product.

[size=large][b]Respiratory Illnesses Have Significant Effects on the Lives of Millions of People[/b][/size][hr]When there is a respiratory illness where in the bronchial tubes of the lungs are irritated and swollen accompanied with pain it can be identified as bronchitis. It can be acute, when it is a short term illness and easily treatable. On the other hand, chronic bronchitis is difficult to treat and may cause damage to the respiratory tract.

Symptoms of bronchitis may resemble symptoms of other respiratory problems which is why it is important to consult your doctor to differentiate it from other conditions and to determine if the bronchitis is acute or chronic. The doctor will assess and conduct physical examinations to evaluate the condition. Furthermore, the doctors may recommend laboratory tests to be able to distinguish the condition.

[size=large][b]The Symptoms of Acute Bronchitis can Also be Experienced in Chronic Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]However they may be more severe.

However, with the progress of time, we not only gathered more matter, we also learnt more about Persistent Cough.

Malaise - feeling of discomfort when there is acute bronchitis. Back and muscle pain - soreness of bones in the back and muscle. Chronic bronchitis is another type of bronchitis, where the airways in lungs have too much phlegm causing violent coughing. Chronic bronchitis is not necessarily caused by infection and is generally part of a syndrome called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; it is defined clinically as a persistent cough that produces sputum (phlegm) and mucus, for at least three months in two consecutive years.

An ordinary cold and cough should not be taken for granted; treating it the right way to prevent it from developing into a more serious condition like bronchitis is important. Opportunity knocks once. So when we got the opportunity to write on Persistent Cough, we did not let the opportunity slip from our hands, and got down to writing on Persistent Cough.
