Significance of Pulmonary disease
Pulmonary disease encompasses various disorders impacting the lungs and airways, such as asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Conditions like tuberculosis and cystic fibrosis exemplify severe pulmonary issues, while other respiratory problems may complicate recovery following surgery. Various treatments, including plant-based remedies, may be linked to pulmonary health, and environmental factors like air pollution can exacerbate these diseases. Additionally, pulmonary disease remains a critical health concern, highlighted by its association with other medical conditions and the ongoing challenges presented by conditions such as COVID-19.
