Ever heard about "Bronchial thermoplasty" ???

Airway Obstruction in Asthma:
The airway in the human lung is generally a tube through which the inhaled air travels to the lung and to the other parts of the body. In Normal Lung, there is a flow inhaled air without any obstruction and the smooth muscles present in the lung allows the air to pass through without any difficulties. Obstruction in the airways is the most common indication in the condition of Asthma, where the lungs are easily disrupted by the presence of undesirable particles such as mucus that are formed as a result of Asthma.

In Asthma affected Lung, there is a layered mucus formation over the smooth muscles in the lung airway which causes the difficulty for the steady flow of air which ultimately leads to the Obstruction in the airway of the lung. One of the treatment methods for asthma is Bronchial Thermoplasty.

 Bronchial Thermoplasty:
Various treatment of Asthma is present and implemented along the years, One of the precarious treatment for Asthma in recent times is Bronchial Thermoplasty. Bronchial Thermoplasty is a simple treatment that involves using a bronchoscope that is operated at a certain temperature which is inserted into the patient without any incision. The Bronchoscope tube is inserted through the mouth or nose of the person, it also has a camera fixed into the tip of the bronchoscope which can be used by the physician to analyze the airway blockage. The material by which the tube is made causes no harm or minimally invasive side effects on the person also it can also be flexible enough to be used by the physician effectively on the person. As the name implies the tube uses a certain level of temperature for widening the smooth muscles which consist of layered mucus and other unwanted materials which causes the airway blockage. The temperature applied in the procedure is made sure that it does not cause any damage to surrounding tissues. Commonly temperature around 38'C-44'C is preferred for the procedure.

Usually, the person is sedated and then the tube is inserted into the person's lung airway. The process takes place as 3 stages which can be performed simultaneously at the same moment or it can be performed within weeks. During the initial stage, the upper airway lobes are treated where the bronchoscope tends to increase the temperature of the smooth muscles which leads to the widening of narrowed smooth muscles due to Asthma. 

 Thus similarly the procedure is done for the middle region and lower region of the airway lobes. Though this procedure can provide an instant cure for Asthma. But the rate of reoccurring of asthma is moderate which varies according to the person's body condition and lifestyle.

By Anonymous
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic disease composed of multiple components, which can include asthma, emphysema and/or chronic bronchitis. To reach a diagnosis of COPD you must have two or more of these diseases as diagnosed by your pulmonary (lung) doctor. All of these are considered to be obstructive respiratory diseases. Obstructive lung diseases are categorized as such because they impair the ability of your body to breathe oxygen into the lungs and expire carbon dioxide out of the lungs. Since COPD is a combination of two or more diseases, your symptoms tend to be more severe than if you suffered from only one of the diseases. Various Stages of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD) STAGE 1 - Mild COPD STAGE 2 - Moderate COPD STAGE 3 - Severe COPD STAGE 4 - Very Severe COPD STAGE-1: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a scourge in numerous parts of the world. Most patients with COPD exhibit gentle ailment. Mil...

POPCORN LUNGS!

By Anonymous
Disease Name:   bronchiolitis obliterans Nickname: POPCORN LUNGS What happens inside a lung?? Breath In  Breath In---> Diaphragm contracts and moves downwards---> Lung Space increases As the Lung space increases, air is sucked from the nose and then air travels down your windpipe and into your lungs. After passing through your bronchial tubes, the air finally reaches and enters the alveoli (air sacs) Through the very thin walls of the alveoli, oxygen from the air passes to the surrounding capillaries (blood vessels). A red blood cell protein called hemoglobin helps move oxygen from the air sacs to the blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide moves from the capillaries into the air sacs. The gas has traveled in the bloodstream from the right side of the heart through the pulmonary artery. Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs is carried through a network of capillaries to the pulmonary vein. This vein delivers the oxygen-rich blood to the left side of the hea...
