Because asthma causes resistance, or obstruction, to exhaled air, it is called obstructive lung disease. The medical term for such lung conditions ischronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseorCOPD. COPDis actually a group of diseases that includes not only asthma but alsochronic bronchitisandemphysema. So...
Early detection and correction of airway obstruction can help in proper growth of the dentofacial region.doi:10.4103/ijds.ijds_124_21Ahmed, TanzeemAhmed, SamsuddinKaushal, NikhilIndian Journal of Dental Sciences
Asthmais a clinical syndrome of chronic airwayinflammation characterized by recurrent, reversible, airway obstruction. Airway inflammation also leads to airway hyperreactivity, which causes airways to narrow in response to various stimuli. Asthmais a common chronic condition, affecting 68 per thousand indi...

Choking(foreign object obstruction).This is when food or an object gets stuck in your airway and blocks air from getting to your lungs. Older adults are at a higher risk, especially those who live alone, wear dentures, or have trouble swallowing. Babies and toddlers also have higher odds o...
Most of the air- way resistance in children occurs in the upper airway. Nasal obstruction can lead to severe respiratory distress due to infants being obligate nose breathers. Their rela- tively large tongue and small mouth can lead to airway obstruction quickly, espe- cially when the ...
Bleeding immediately after the operation can result in ahaematomaforming beneath the skin. Large haematomas can cause airway obstruction, which is an emergency. In this situation the surgicalwound must be re-opened(on the ward!) to allow drainage of the haematoma and the patient will need to go...

alveoli, aveolar ducts and septa. The enlarged alveoli form cyst-like bullae, which may compress surrounding tissue. There is almost no airway obstruction and may be clinically insignificant until complications arise. It is one of the more common causes of a spontaneous pneumothorax among young ...
The heterogeneous nature of asthma is evidenced in its varying clinical presentations, spectrum of airway inflammation, and differences in individual responses to asthma treatments2–14. Moreover, the risk loci dis- covered by genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in very large samples of ...
