Chronic bronchitis (CB) is an inflammatory disease and is characterized by bronchial tube irritation. The bronchial tube irritation can result in the accumulation of mucus. CB is a part of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, causing blockage of airflow and thereby problems i...

The management of COPD is largely symptom driven, thus a staging scheme based on clinical symptoms as well as physiologic pulmonary function measurements has been suggested.1 It has been estimated that 16 million Americans have chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both.3 The prevalence of smoking, ...
There have been discrepancies among various studies in this regard which may be a result of different phenotypes studied (emphysema versus chronic bronchitis predominant) that by themselves have a different effect on the skeletal muscle mass. Hyperlipidemia is another cardinal manifestation of the MetS....
