In this case, patients would not feel isolated and poorly understood by their family members and friends. Through socializing and social support, these patients will also have the energy to venture outside home and reach out to their family members or friends for help. As an important part of the process, the article states that positive people and supportive relationships are crucial for patients with respiratory diseases (Limberg, 2013).
In relation to exercise and nutrition counseling or support, the paper suggests getting daily activity and creating healthy habits. The daily activity is part of exercise, which helps in effective management of respiratory disease through baseline physical assessments. Notably, these physical assessments or activities are based on the prescribed exercise targets and supervision by physicians, friends, and family members. In addition to supervision, patients are encouraged to accomplish moderate levels of muscle fatigue and relative breathlessness...
The creation of healthy habits is based on eating various foods through counseling to improve choices and achieve weight-loss goals.
In conclusion, the advice provided in the article is an effective procedure for managing respiratory disease because it involves the major components of pulmonary rehabilitation. However, the article does not include education as part of this process despite of the importance of this component. Education should be included in the procedures because it helps in treatment, medication, and self-management at home.

Periodontal disease and respiratory disease: A systematic review of the evidence," Agado & Bowen (2012) perform a systematic review or meta-analysis style of research to determine whether there is a correlation between periodontal disease and pneumonia, or between periodontal disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a "common" condition that includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Smoking is a major risk factor for COPD; but pneumonia can be caused by a
The most common progressive chronic lung situations that would require the rehabilitation include interstitial lung disease, chest wall disease, bronchiectasis, and pre and post thoracic surgery. The fourth category of patients to offered pulmonary rehabilitation is those with recent exacerbation of COPD requiring hospitalization, without the anticipated recovery path, and whose functional baseline has changed significantly ("Service Specification," 2012). The Problem: Chronic lung diseases have developed to become one of the
It has also been suggested that low-level viral replication associated with RSV may be a driver in chronic inflammation in some sufferers of chronic lung disease, although this is so far uncertain (Openshaw, 2005). It is estimated that infants who develop a wheeze as a result of RSV contraction develop a recurring wheeze in around two thirds of all cases. It is also estimated that around half of these children
Acute Upper Respiratory Infection URI is a prevalent acute illness in the general population and outpatient setting that results in missed school or work days. The incidence of URI has been increasing globally. The WHO Statistics indicate 650,000 deaths related to URI and 18.8 billion incidences of URI globally with an estimated cost exceeding $22billion annually in the United States. The WHO report indicates the prevalence of deaths related to URI
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder COPD COPD Diagnosis, Management, and Exacerbation Prevention The treatment objectives for chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) outlined by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease are two-fold: (1) the immediate relief of symptoms and (2) the long-term management of disease (GICOPD, 2013). Patients will present in the clinic with shortness of breath, a chronic cough, or production of sputum and a complete patient history will often reveal pulmonary
Diseases and Pathogens Pathogens Pathogens are disease-causing or infectious microorganisms (EPA 2011, Kennedy 2012). Some of them are often found in water from sewage discharges, leaking septic tanks, or runoff from feedlots. They enter the body and cause disease every day through the air we breathe, food, water or direct personal contact. The body's immune system is able to destroy many pathogens. When it cannot, infection occurs and the person gets sick.
