[size=4][b]Chronic Bronchitis - Death by Cigarettes[/b][/size][hr]Has long been known that smoking and lung cancer are causally linked. After having discovered this association though, much has been made of the heightened incidence of other forms of cancer caused by of smoking. I am going to highlight the data that reiterates the claims and suggest that the evidence is not so strong for other forms of cancer being causally linked with smoking. The evidence is analysed from the mortality statistics for the UK in 2002.
[i]Some sources suggest that pneumonia is more likely to kill in smokers but only 17% of the 36,000 fatal pneumonia cases were found in smokers suggesting this is not the case.
[/i]
Finally, heart disease is the biggest single killer in the UK with over a quarter of a million deaths a year as a result of its various forms. Of all the major forms of heart disease, ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, aortic aneurysm, myocardial degeneration and atherosclerosis, the percentage of smokers suffering from aortic aneuryism was just under 60%. All other forms of heart disease showed near 26% or below. This suggests that smoking may not be the main contributory factor but it almost certainly will have had an impact.
Oesophageal cancer deaths numbered just under 5,000 and the deceased were found to be 66% smokers, 71% and 65% men to women respectively; again another clear link that smoking and oesophageal cancer are linked. We were a bit tentative when embarking on this project on Bronchitis. However, using the grit and determination we have, we have produced some fine reading material on Bronchitis.
[list][*]Emphysema is the destruction of the lung leading to loss of surface area, alveoli (air sacks in the lungs) and the loss of elasticity.[*]Chronic bronchitis manifests itself through swollen bronchii and over production of mucus within the lung.[*]It is characterised by daily coughing, bringing up sputum.[*]Both emphysema and bronchitis lead to slow, debilitating and frustrating deaths for their victims.[*]Using the intuition I had on Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis, I thought that writing this article would indeed be worth the trouble.[*]Most of the relevant information on Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis has been included here.[/list]
Will work through the statistics because 26% of the population are smokers and so one might reasonably assume that any incidence of cancer where less than 26% of sufferers are smokers may have other more prevalent causes than smoking. An idle brain, is a devil's workshop they say. Using this ideology in mind, we ventured to write on Bronchitis, so that something productive would be achieved of our minds.
[i]Deaths from COPD in 2002 in the UK numbered 28,500 of which 84% were smokers demonstrating a clear link between the inhalation of tobacco smoke and the disease as is the case with lung cancer.[/i]
[size=large][b]Next, Bladder Cancer Takes Over 1,800 Lives Per Year of Which 37% are Found to be Smokers[/b][/size][hr]However, only 19% of female cases were smokers compared with 47% of male cases. It is fair to assume that there are other factors more prevalent in female bladder cancer other than smoking but the link is clear in men. Writing something about 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.
[list][*]Kidney cancer is another cancer where smokers are seen less frequently than non-smokers in the statistics.[*]The next disease we shall look at is the non-cancerous, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD.[*]The disease manifests itself mainly in two forms, being emphysema and chronic bronchitis.[*]We had at first written a rough assignment on Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis.[*]Then after a few improvisions and enhancements here and there, we have ended up with this end product. :o[/list]
All in all, there were over 114,000 premature deaths in 2002 from cigarette smoking, mostly from cancer, but also from heart disease and pulmonary (lung) disease. The best way to improve ones chances of not suffering from a shortened life and succumbing to one of the diseases mentioned in this article is by quitting smoking once and for all. Benefits have been clearly documented and the sooner smokers quit, the bigger the benefits of quitting become on their life expectancy. Indeed, smokers who quit before they reach thirty, statistically negate virtually all the ill health effect of smoking and can generally expect to live as long as a non-smoking contemporary. Our objective of this article on Curing bronchitis Emphysema was to arouse your interest in it. Bring back the acquired knowledge of Chronic Bronchitis Emphysema, and compare it with what we have printed here.
Stomach cancer took 1,650 lives in 2002 but is found in 35% of men compared with only 11% of female smokers. It is reasonable therefore to draw the same conclusion about the causes as for bladder cancer between men and women. Opportunity knocks once. So when we got the opportunity to write on Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis, we did not let the opportunity slip from our hands, and got down to writing on Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis.
Death from cancer of the upper respiratory tract was found at a rate of 66% in smokers, nearly three times the percentage of smokers. Note though that women sufferers represented half of their cohort compared with three quarters of men, suggesting upper respiratory cancer is more likely in men than in women smokers.
Chronic bronchitis refers to inflammation and often infection of the bronchia, manifested by persistent, sputum-producing cough. Patients are diagnosed with chronic bronchitis if they experience sputum expectoration for more than three months of the year over a period of two years in a row, in the absence of other respiratory or cardio-vascular problems that can also generate recidivating cough. Chronic bronchitis usually occurs on the premises of weakened natural cure defenses of the respiratory tract (cilia barriers), triggered by infection with viral or bacterial organisms, or prolonged exposure to cigarette smoke, chemicals, industrial pollutants and other irritants. Most cases of chronic bronchitis occur as a result of interaction between these factors.
The process of diagnosing chronic bronchitis, doctors usually account for two major aspects: the recurrence of the symptoms generated by the disease and conclusive evidence of patients' exposure to airborne irritants. Patients with chronic bronchitis may experience the following symptoms: sputum-producing cough (yellowish aspect of the phlegm and expectoration of blood are indicators for bacterial infections), chest pain and discomfort that intensify with deep breaths, wheezing, pronounced shortness of breath and accelerated breathing. Along with hypoventilation, cyanosis usually points to spreading of the disease at the level of the lungs. In the absence of an appropriate medical treatment, people with chronic bronchitis are very exposed to the development of serious complications such as emphysema and pneumonia. Did you ever believe that there was so much to learn about Chronic Bronchitis Treatment? Neither did we! Once we got to write this article, it seemed to be endless.
[list][*]The first step in the management of chronic bronchitis is to reduce or completely eliminate patients' exposure to airborne irritants.[*]In order to increase the efficiency of medical treatments, regular smokers are advised to quit smoking for good.[*]Chronic bronchitis sufferers should avoid exposure to passive smoke, chemicals and industrial pollutants as much as possible.[*]For most patients, symptoms such as cough and difficult breathing can be alleviated simply by minimizing the exposure to irritants.[*]We worked as diligently as an owl in producing this composition on Bronchitis Treatment.[*]So only if you do read it, and appreciate its contents will we feel our efforts haven't gone in vain.[/list]
People with chronic bronchitis are usually prescribed combination treatments that include prophylactic antibiotics, corticosteroids, cough suppressants, expectorants (medications that have the opposite effects of suppressants) and chest physiotherapy. However, doctors don't recommend ongoing treatments with expectorants. Prolonged chest physiotherapy and postural drainage should also be avoided. Instead, cough-suppressing medications such as codeine or dextromethorphan can be prescribed in short courses for relieving persistent cough and obstruction of the airways.
[size=large][b]Is Important to Note that There is No Specific Cure for Chronic Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]The treatment of chronic bronchitis varies from a patient to another, according to the intensity, the duration and the stage of the disease. The recurrent character of chronic bronchitis renders most medical treatments ineffective in completely overcoming the disease. Thus, the treatment of chronic bronchitis is primarily aimed at providing temporary symptomatic relief and preventing the occurrence of further complications. Go ahead and read this article on Bronchitis. We would also appreciate it if you could give us an analysis on it for us to make any needed changes to it.
Quote:[list][*]Pancreatic cancer is another cancer that is less prevalent in smokers than the general population.[*]Indeed 20% of men and 26% of women dying from the disease in 2002 were smokers, suggesting parity with women and a disparity with men.[*]It may be reasonable therefore to assume that there are other contributory factors in male pancreatic cancers.[*]There has been a gradual introduction to the world of Bronchitis Emphysema projected in this article.[*]We had done this so that the actual meaning of the article will sink within you.[/list]
