Respiratory acidosis involves a decrease in respiratory rate and/or volume (hypoventilation). Common causes includeimpaired respiratory drive(eg, due to toxins, CNS disease), and airflow obstruction (eg, due to asthma, COPD [chronic obstructive pulmonary disease], sleep apnea, airway edema). How ...

COPD is often associated with destruction of the alveoli (small air sacs in the lungs) and the accumulation of mucus in the airways and alveoli. The most common cause of COPD is smoking. Symptoms of COPD include difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, weakness, and ...
they are likely to become more severely ill when infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). To test this hypothesis, we searched the literature extensively. Polymorphisms of genes, such as those that encode angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 (ACE1), have been associa...
The most common chronic illnesses in these patients are respiratory disease such as chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), cardiovascular disease, and diabetes mellitus. In addition, certain habits, such as cigarette smoking and alcohol abuse, also are common in those with SCAP. Indeed, cigarette...
