Introduction of bronchitis
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the air passages between the nose and lungs. Acute bronchitis usually follows a viral infection like a cold and resolves within two weeks, while chronic bronchitis presents symptoms for at least three months per year for two consecutive years, often caused by smoking. Treatment for acute bronchitis focuses on air flow optimization using expectorants, bronchodilators, and sometimes antibiotics or corticosteroids. Treatment for chronic bronchitis emphasizes smoking cessation and uses long-acting bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids to manage symptoms.
Bronchitis
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes that carry air to the lungs. It can be acute, lasting a few weeks, or chronic, persisting for months. Chronic bronchitis is characterized by a mucus-producing cough for at least three months a year. Smoking is a major risk factor. Symptoms include cough, mucus production, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Diagnosis involves physical exam, chest x-rays, and pulmonary function tests. Treatment focuses on antibiotics for bacterial infections, cough suppressants, bronchodilators, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Complications can include asthma, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
obstructive bronchitis
The document discusses obstructive bronchitis in children. It defines bronchitis as an inflammation of the bronchial mucosa that can affect the upper respiratory tract. The main causes of obstructive bronchitis in children are viruses, bacteria, hypothermia, poor air quality, and contact with sick children. The symptoms of obstructive bronchitis include a heavy cough, cyanosis, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Treatment involves reducing bronchial obstruction through pulmonary medications, humidified oxygen, and bronchodilators.
Acute bronchitis
Acute bronchitis in dogs is an inflammation of the bronchi and bronchioles that may extend to lung tissues, characterized by paroxysmal exudative cough. It can be secondary to heart disease, parasitism, or due to predisposing factors like bacterial/viral infection, allergens, irritant smokes/gases, or sudden environment changes. Clinical symptoms include cough after rest/exercise/environment changes, elevated temperature, moist rales on auscultation, and mucopurulent exudate. Treatment involves rest, warmness, expectorant medications, medicated steam inhalation, antibiotics, oxygen therapy, and antihistamines.
Bronchitis
Acute bronchitis (brahn-KITE-uss), or chest cold, is a condition that occurs when the bronchial (BRAHN-kee-uhl) tubes in the lungs become inflamed. The bronchial tubes swell and produce mucus, which causes a person to cough. This often occurs after an upper respiratory infection like a cold. Most symptoms of acute bronchitis (chest pain, shortness of breath, etc.) last for up to 2 weeks, but the cough can last for up to 8 weeks in some people.
Acute and chronic Bronchitis & Nursing care
This document discusses acute and chronic bronchitis. Acute bronchitis involves inflammation of the bronchi and trachea lasting less than 10 days. It is usually caused by viral or bacterial infections. Chronic bronchitis is repeated inflammation of the airways causing long-term symptoms. Both involve cough with mucus, difficulty breathing, and are treated with medications like antibiotics, bronchodilators, steroids and oxygen therapy. Nursing care focuses on monitoring, breathing exercises, nutrition, and avoiding irritants.
Bronchitis
Acute bronchitis is an inflammatory condition of the trachea and main bronchi caused by viral infection. It is usually preceded by inflammation of the upper airways. The diagnosis is typically made clinically based on symptoms and history of upper respiratory infection. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms through rest, hydration, humidification, and avoiding irritants.

Homeo pathy bronchits
Bronchitis can be acute or chronic. Acute bronchitis is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection and presents with a dry cough that may later produce sputum, while chronic bronchitis causes a long-term productive cough. Homeopathic treatments target the specific symptoms presented in each case and can help prevent acute bronchitis from turning chronic.
11a. Bronchitis.pptx
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi, or air passages between the nose and lungs. It can be acute, lasting a few weeks, usually following a cold or viral infection like the flu. Chronic bronchitis is characterized by a persistent cough on most days for at least three months a year for two years. Symptoms include coughing, mucus production, shortness of breath, and wheezing. Bronchitis is diagnosed through history, physical exam, imaging like chest x-rays, and tests of lung function. Treatment depends on the cause but may include antibiotics, cough medicine, bronchodilators, and anti-inflammatory drugs.
PNEUMONIA PATHOPHYSIOLOGY.pptx
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms. It occurs when air sacs in the lungs become inflamed and fill with fluid or pus, making breathing difficult. Pneumonia affects people of all ages but is most common in young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include cough, fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, sweating, and chills. Pneumonia is diagnosed through physical exam, history, symptoms, chest x-ray, and tests of sputum or blood samples. Treatment involves antibiotics if bacterial, with most cases treated through oral antibiotics.
Respiratory system diseases
This document provides information about respiratory tract diseases presented by a group of students. It begins with welcoming the audience and introducing the group members. Then it provides definitions of respiratory tract diseases and describes the anatomy and locations of the respiratory system. Next, it discusses five common respiratory diseases in detail - common cold, asthma, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and bronchiolitis. For each disease, it covers the definition, causes, signs/symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. In closing, it thanks the audience for their time.
Bronchitis
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes that carry air from the lungs. Acute bronchitis is usually caused by viruses and develops from a cold or respiratory infection, while chronic bronchitis is often due to long-term smoking and causes constant irritation of the bronchial tubes. Risk factors for bronchitis include smoking cigarettes, exposure to air pollution, dust or toxic gases, and conditions that weaken the immune system such as colds, chronic illness, old age or young age.
Tuberculosis Presentation
Tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease typically affecting the lungs that is caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium. It can be active and contagious or latent and non-contagious. Symptoms of active TB include fever, chills, weight loss, and coughing up sputum or blood. TB is generally detected via a skin test and treated with a multi-month course of antibiotics, though it cannot be fully cured.

Air borne diseases
1) Airborne diseases are spread through the air by viruses, bacteria, or fungi transmitted through respiratory droplets when people cough, sneeze, or talk.
2) Common symptoms of airborne diseases include cough, fever, and breathing difficulties.
3) Prevention methods include proper hand hygiene, wearing masks, cleaning surfaces, and covering coughs and sneezes to limit the transmission of pathogens through the air.
Awareness on Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease usually caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis that generally affects the lungs. It spreads through the air when infected people cough, spit, speak, or sneeze. While it most commonly involves the lungs, causing symptoms like chest pain and coughing, it can also spread to other parts of the body in 15-20% of cases. Proper ventilation, covering coughs, spending time outdoors, and avoiding crowds can help prevent the spread of the disease.
Clinical manifestations of influenza
Seasonal influenza is an acute respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that typically occurs during winter. Common signs include fever, cough, sore throat, and muscle aches. While influenza is usually self-limiting, it can lead to serious complications like pneumonia, especially in high-risk groups. Pneumonia is the most common complication and can be either viral or secondary bacterial infections with pathogens like streptococcus pneumoniae or staphylococcus aureus. Influenza may also cause other rare complications affecting the heart, brain or muscles.

Lungs (amy t, alexis s, sam m)
This document summarizes information about lung transplantation. It discusses that lungs are located in the chest and function to oxygenate blood and remove carbon dioxide. Over 1,200 lung transplants are performed annually in the US, with a 5-year survival rate of 72-83%. However, over 111,000 people are waiting for lungs and over 6,500 people die each year waiting. Lung transplants are considered for those with end-stage lung disease who have less than 2 years to live. The procedure takes 4-8 hours in specialized hospitals and has a high cost, but can extend life for transplant recipients who must follow medical therapies and lifestyle restrictions long-term.
Heart 1
The heart is located in the center-left portion of the chest and pumps oxygen-rich blood to all cells in the body. The United States performs over 2,000 heart transplants annually, with survival rates of 81% after 1 year and around 68% after 5 years. Heart transplants may be required for severe heart failure or defects that cannot be treated otherwise. Recipients must meet health criteria and take anti-rejection drugs lifelong, while living with cardiac monitoring and dietary restrictions after transplant.
Cornea(1)
The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that transmits and focuses light. About 40,000 cornea transplants are performed in the US each year, with a 90% success rate. Candidates are screened for infections or health risks and may be disqualified for certain conditions. The transplant procedure takes 1-2 hours and costs around $7,500. Post-surgery therapy includes eye drops, pills, and activity restrictions for healing.
Asthma project
Asthma is a chronic inflammation of the airways that affects millions of adults and children in the U.S. It is caused by triggers like dust, pollen, pet hair, or tobacco smoke that bring about symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. While asthma cannot be passed between individuals, chronic coughing may impact transmission of other illnesses. The disease affects the bronchial tubes leading to the lungs and symptoms are often worse in the morning or evening in response to cold air. Preventative inhalers can help control symptoms and attacks to manage the disease, which is lifelong once developed, though its effects can be minimized with proper treatment.

Rabies is caused by a virus transmitted through the saliva or nervous system tissue of an infected animal. It causes flu-like symptoms that can develop into cerebral dysfunctions, anxiety, and delirium. Over 50,000 people in Asia and Africa die from rabies each year. While rabies can be either acute or chronic depending on treatment, prevention focuses on vaccinating pets, removing strays, and avoiding contact with wild animals.
Narc
Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that affects sleep control, making it difficult to stay awake during the day. Its causes are unknown but believed to be genetic and related to low levels of the brain chemical hypocretin. Symptoms include extreme daytime sleepiness with focus problems, loss of muscle tone during wakefulness, and vivid dreams or hallucinations when waking or falling asleep, typically affecting people ages 15-25 or those who don't sleep well at night.
ssa
Sickle cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder caused when both parents carry the sickle cell trait and pass it to their child. The red blood cells take on a sickle shape, which prevents them from properly carrying oxygen throughout the body. Symptoms may appear after four months of age and include attacks of pain, breathing issues, fatigue and more. While there is no cure, new treatments are helping those with sickle cell anemia live longer, into their 50s rather than the previous average of 20-40 years of age. Prevention includes vaccinations, genetic counseling before having children, and living a normal life with proper precautions.

Leprosy is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae, which is usually spread through respiratory droplets. Children are more susceptible than adults. The top three countries with the most reported leprosy cases are India, Brazil, and Burma. Leprosy has an average incubation period of 3-5 years and the primary sign is pale skin lesions with reduced sensation. If diagnosed early, nerve damage and disability can be avoided through treatment with antibiotics such as rifampicin and daspone.
Aids presentation
HIV and AIDS can be transmitted sexually or through blood and from pregnant women to their babies. While anyone can contract HIV, those most at risk are drug users and the sexually active. Since 1977, HIV/AIDS has been a major problem in Africa due to a lack of money for medicine and treatment.

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder caused by a defect in the collagen gene that results in brittle bones that break easily from minor stress or trauma. There are four main types of OI that vary in severity from very mild to lethal in infancy. While there is no cure for OI, treatments focus on increasing bone strength through bisphosphonates and low-impact exercise, as well as surgery to repair broken bones. People with OI must manage their condition for life through precautions to avoid further fractures.
Amanda mcgurk lupus
Lupus is an autoimmune disease with no known cause that predominantly affects women aged 15-44, especially those of African American, Asian, Native American, or Pacific Islander descent. Common symptoms include arthritis, joint pain, fever, fatigue, skin rash, and sensitivity to sunlight. While the signs and symptoms vary per individual, lupus produces antibodies that attack the body's own tissues and can affect the lungs, blood, brain, kidney, heart, and joints. There is no cure for lupus currently, but treatment involves medications like steroids, immunosuppressants, and anti-inflammatories to reduce symptoms, though it can sometimes be fatal depending on the severity of the case.
Yellow fever slide
Yellow fever is caused by a virus transmitted through the bites of infected female mosquitoes, with an incubation period of 3-6 days. Symptoms include headache, fever and muscle aches initially, and potentially progressing to jaundice, liver failure, and black vomit. While most cases are mild, the disease can be fatal for around 3% of infected individuals in the second more severe phase if left untreated.
Bulimia
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging. It can be caused by genetic and environmental factors like role models and social pressures. While anyone can develop it, girls aged 15-24 are most at risk. Bulimia damages the entire body and can lead to organ failure or death if left untreated. Treatment focuses on breaking the binge-purge cycle through therapy and support to address underlying emotional issues.

Black death marley(2)
Bubonic plague is caused by the Yersinia pestis bacterium which is typically transmitted through the bites of infected fleas living on rodents like rats, squirrels, and prairie dogs. Symptoms include fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes, and other flu-like symptoms appearing 1-6 days after exposure. While not usually chronic, one can be reinfected, so prevention focuses on controlling rodent populations to limit flea-borne transmission of the plague bacterium.
African trypanosomiasis
African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is caused by a parasite called Trypanosoma and transmitted by the bite of the tsetse fly. It affects people in rural parts of Africa and causes symptoms like swelling at the bite site, severe fatigue, headaches, joint pain, behavioral changes, and disturbed sleep patterns. While it can cause neurological disorders and death if left untreated, it can be prevented by avoiding tsetse fly habitats or wearing protective clothing, and treated with drugs like Pentamidine, Suramin, and combinations of other drugs.
Shingles
Varicella-zoster virus causes both chickenpox and shingles. Shingles occurs when the virus reactivates after dormancy in the nervous system following chickenpox. It is characterized by a painful rash that typically affects a limited area on one side of the body. Treatment aims to reduce pain and complications through antiviral medication started within 24 hours of symptom onset, along with anti-inflammatory drugs and soothing baths. While shingles itself is usually not fatal, high-risk groups could die if exposed without proper medical care.
Anthrax
Anthrax is caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis. It can infect humans through contact with infected animals or animal products, as well as through inhalation of anthrax spores. There are three main types - cutaneous (skin), inhalation (lungs), and gastrointestinal (digestive system). Symptoms vary depending on type but can include lesions, vomiting, diarrhea, and respiratory issues. Anthrax spores can also be used as a biological weapon. Diagnosis involves cultures and antibody tests while treatment requires long courses of antibiotics.

Bronchitis
- 1. BRONCHITIS BY: KELSEYLYNN YORI
- 2. What is bronchitis? Bronchitis is an acute inflammation of the air passages in the lungs. It happens when the trachea and the large and small bronchi (airways) within the lungs become inflamed because of infection or other causes.
- 3. Transmitted Viruses like Influenza A & B and bacteria like Mycoplasma and pneumoniae can cause it. along with the winter/ cold weather and in the flu seasons. You could also get it by inhaling irritating fumes and dust.
- 4. 2 Types There is acute and chronic. Acute is when it only lasts for about a week or a little longer and then goes away. Chronic is when you have it for like a month or up to several years. It does not matter how old you are. All ages get both types.
