December 2nd, 2009 admin
Have you ever coughed so hard that you were unable to catch your breath. Or cough because you’ve had phlem stuck in your throat for days? How about when you walk up a short flight of stairs and you can’t catch your breath and start wheezing? These are the things that someone with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD deals with on a daily basis.

Study Finds Improved Way to Treat C...This is the VOA Special English Health Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, is a life-threatening condition commonly caused by years of smoking. Doctors say that over time the damage interferes with the natural exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs. COPD is not curable but treatment can extend a patient's life. Doctors often treat it with steroids. Now, a study shows that low doses of the medicine given by mouth are equal to, or better than, a heavy dose administered into the blood.Researchers studied patients treated at four hundred hospitals in two thousand six and two thousand seven. The patients received steroids either intravenously or by mouth. The study found that those who received lower doses of steroids by mouth spent less time in the hospital. Also, their risk of side effects such as glaucoma, high blood pressure and edema, or swelling in the legs, was reduced. Peter Lindenauer from Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts, led the study. The findings are in the Journal of the American Medical Association.The World Health Organization estimates that more than two hundred million people have been found to have COPD. Most live in low and middle income countries. COPD blocks airflow in the lungs. Patients have to think about their breathing. They also have to exercise. And they have to learn to calm themselves, especially when they are short of breath. Chronic obstructive <b>...</b>
