  2. Asthma-COPD overlap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asthma-COPD_overlap

    Excluding ACO with late-onset asthma, ACO has better survival (lower mortality) than COPD, but higher mortality compared to asthma. [4] In other studies, ACO was associated with worse dyspnea symptoms, more coughing, wheezing, and sputum production, as well as more frequent and more severe exacerbations as compared to COPD or asthma. [5]

  3. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_obstructive...

    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of progressive lung disease characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. [8] GOLD 2024 defined COPD as a heterogeneous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnea or shortness of breath, cough, sputum production or exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (bronchitis ...

  4. Complications of diabetes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complications_of_diabetes

    Lung restriction in diabetes could result from chronic low-grade tissue inflammation, microangiopathy, and/or accumulation of advanced glycation end products. [46] In fact the presence restrictive lung defect in association with diabetes has been shown even in presence of obstructive lung diseases like asthma and COPD in diabetic patients. [47]

  5. Obstructive lung disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_lung_disease

    Types of obstructive lung disease include asthma, bronchiectasis, bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although COPD shares similar characteristics with all other obstructive lung diseases, such as the signs of coughing and wheezing , they are distinct conditions in terms of disease onset, frequency of symptoms, and ...

  6. Respiratory arrest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_arrest

    Obstructive conditions of the lower airway, including severe asthma or COPD episodes, can also lead to respiratory arrest. During these episodes, known as exacerbations, airway resistance is increased due to inflammatory changes in the lungs. This leads to increased work of breathing and decreased oxygen delivery to tissue.

  7. Chronic condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_condition

    Common chronic diseases include diabetes, functional gastrointestinal disorder, eczema, arthritis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, autoimmune diseases, genetic disorders and some viral diseases such as hepatitis C and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. An illness which is lifelong because it ends in death is a terminal illness ...

  8. Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_exacerbation_of...

    High flow oxygen may be harmful in those with an acute exacerbation of COPD. In the prehospital environment those given high flow O 2 rather than titrating their O 2 saturations to 88% to 92% had worse outcomes. [14] In specific circumstances high flow oxygen however can be beneficial. [15] Antibiotics and steroids appear useful in mild to ...

  9. Obesity hypoventilation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_hypoventilation...

    Symptoms of this disorder occur because the heart has difficulty pumping blood from the body through the lungs. Fluid may, therefore, accumulate in the skin of the legs in the form of edema (swelling), and in the abdominal cavity in the form of ascites ; decreased exercise tolerance and exertional chest pain may occur.
