COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary (PULL-mun-ary) disease, is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. &#8220;Progressive&#8221; means the disease gets worse over time. </p>
<p>COPD can cause coughing that produces large amounts of mucus (a slimy substance), wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and other symptoms.</p>
<p>Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD. Most people who have COPD smoke or used to smoke. Long-term exposure to other lung irritants, such as air pollution, chemical fumes, or dust, also may contribute to COPD. </p>
<p>COPD is caused by noxious particles or gases, most commonly from smoking which trigger an abnormal inflammatory responsein the lung.The inflammatory response in the larger airways is known as chronic bronchitis which is diagnosed clinically when people regularly cough up sputum In the alveolithe inflammatory response causes destruction of the tissue of the lung, a process known as emphysema The natural course of COPD is characterized by occasional sudden worsenings of symptoms called acute exacerbations, most of which are caused by infectionsor air pollution<br />
The diagnosisof COPD requires lung function testsImportant management strategies are smoking cessation, vaccinations rehabilitation and drug therapy (often using inhalers Some patients go on to requiring long-term oxygen therapy or lung transplantation</p>
<p>COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a serious lung disease that, over time, makes it hard to breathe. It is the 4th leading cause of death in the United States and causes serious, long-term disability. The number of people with COPD is increasing. More than 12 million people are currently diagnosed with COPD and an additional 12 million likely have the disease and don&#8217;t even know it.</p>
<p>You may have heard COPD called other names, like emphysema or chronic bronchitis. In people who have COPD, the airways—tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs—are partly blocked, which makes it hard to get air in and out.

Sarcoidosis—what&#8217;s that?
It&#8217;s an immune system disorder that affects tens of thousands of Americans. Symptoms include a persistent cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, night sweats, weight loss, small red bumps on the face, arms or buttocks, red, watery eyes, and arthritis in the ankles, elbows, wrists and hands, according to the Mayo Clinic.

<p>Sarcoidosis—what&#8217;s that?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s an immune system disorder that affects tens of thousands of Americans. Symptoms include a persistent cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, night sweats, weight loss, small red bumps on the face, arms or buttocks, red, watery eyes, and arthritis in the ankles, elbows, wrists and hands, according to the Mayo Clinic. Most cases are mild, but severe cases can cause scarring in the lungs, a complication that occurs in 20 to 25 percent of patients.</p>
<p>What causes it?</p>
<p>Typically, our bodies fight perceived threats with an inflammatory response. With sarcoidosis, this response becomes excessive and ends up producing small clumps of cells that can cluster throughout the body. Large clusters can interfere with the functioning of organs, most commonly the lungs (more than 90 percent of cases), the eyes and the skin. In addition to lung scarring, it can cause serious eye conditions such as cataracts and glaucoma, or aching and swelling in the legs accompanied by arthritis.</p>
<p>Who gets it?</p>
<p>This is primary an illness of adults in the 20- to 40-year-old range. African-Americans are more prone to the condition than whites (the incidence rate among blacks is 35.5 cases per 100,000; among whites it&#8217;s 10.9 per 100,000). African-American women are twice as likely as African-American men to be struck with the illness.</p>
<p>Why do people get it?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not clear what causes sarcoidosis, though experts believe environmental contaminants can help trigger a genetic susceptibility. Studies have found a link between this condition and irritants such as tree pollen, insecticides and moldy environments.</p>
<p>Can it be cured?</p>
<p>Not currently. The most common treatment is Prednisone, a steroid that can have serious side effects. Occasionally, physicians prescribe drugs known as immune system suppressants (such as Plaquenil and Methotrexate). While sarcoidosis can be severe, less than 5 percent of patients die of it. In the vast majority of cases, symptoms are mild and disappear over time. Mac had the condition until it went into remission in 2005. About one-third of patients have an &#8220;unrelenting,&#8221; progressive form of this illness that typically leads to organ impairment.</p>
