Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mainly includes three related respiratory
diseases, namely chronic bronchitis, chronic asthma and pulmonary emphysema. In
each of the aforementioned conditions, there is a degree of chronic obstruction
in the passage of airflow through the airways and through the lungs. This
obstruction is generally permanent and may be progressive in the course of
years.
A
new paper of interest the abstract reads:
“The
aim of the present study is to highlight the seasonal cases diagnosed with
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, present in the specialized medical
service with acute symptomatology. In order to establish a more accurate diagnosis,
besides the specialized medical examination, paraclinical investigations such
as standard pulmonary radiography and spirometry, were used.”
