Life-Threatening Lung Disease Often Undiagnosed Top Physicia
Life-Threatening Lung Disease Often Undiagnosed Top Physician and Patient Discuss Importance of Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) Approximately 100,000 people in the United States and 200,000 patients worldwide suffer from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), an incurable, life-threatening disease often misdiagnosed as other pulmonary conditions such as emphysema and asthma. PAH is a debilitating disease characterized changes in the blood vessels in the lungs leading to high pulmonary arterial pressures. Patients with PAH suffer from shortness of breath as the heart struggles to pump against these high pressures. If left untreated, previous estimates suggest that the average patient would not be expected to live more than 2.8 years beyond the time of diagnosis, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Despite the availability of a variety of therapies, PAH is often not diagnosed in a timely manner, largely because classic PAH symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest pain can be attributed to more common medical conditions.
Dr. Aaron Waxman of Massachusetts General Hospital shares insight on the symptoms of PAH, provides details on the physical impact of this disease and mentions how often the disease is misdiagnosed. He also talks about the new sense of hope as research has progressed and multiple treatment therapies have become available. He will be joined by his patient, Norma Morey. Ten years ago, Norma began experiencing shortness of breath and difficulty walking short distances. Having been a smoker, she was not surprised when her primary care physician began treatment for asthma and emphysema. In 2005, Norma was diagnosed with PAH. She will share the story of her diagnosis with PAH and how she is living with the disease.

A Breath of Air: What Pollution is Doing to Our Children
“In healthy children, lungs grow as the body develops, but the greatest growth rate is during puberty. From ages 10-14, healthy children see their lungs grow by about 12% each year. By the late teens or early twenties, lungs have essentially stopped growing. The Children’s Health Study shows that during the crucial puberty years, the lungs of a child exposed to high levels of pollution will grow 10% less each year. Over a period of four years, that is a significant deficit in lung function compared with kids growing up in low-pollution neighborhoods.”
Air pollution from diesel vehicles can affect everyone, especially children. Exposure to the toxic particles of diesel exhaust has been linked to cancer, asthma, and other diseases and conditions.
The clip discusses the findings of the Children’s Health Study, which was begun in 1992. The study was conducted by a team of scientists at the University of Southern California and funded by the California Air Resources Board. Scientists looked at 5,500 children from 12 communities in Southern California with differing types and levels of air pollution. The scientists followed children from each of these communities and then compared their respiratory health with the pollution levels in their communities.

My Lung (Parody of Justin Timberlake’s “My Love”)
Go be our friend at MySpace.com/Crumbypicsmusic!! =D
Ok, so we’ve been thinking about this song for about a year now, and finally decided to get to work on it! Once again I feel the need to point out the fact that I am too caucasian to rap, but I figured if Eminem can pull it off, why not give it a try?! Yes, we realize that this is quite lame, and it probably deserves any hate comments it’s going to get. It is far from a perfect video, but hey…we’re CRUMBYpics. 
“My Lung”
Ain’t no other organ that can take your spot, my lung.
Lung I wrote this simple song you see, just to say how much you mean to me.
(you know that it’s true)
Don’t you know that you are beautiful?
Since you keep me breathing regular.
(thank you, thank you)
You and me we’ve been around the world,
deep breathing in and out it makes me whirl.
(I whirl)
So many organs you’re my favorite one, but there’s just one thing I need from you.
(Breathe that air through) – because –
When I see my smokin’ friends,
walkin’ down the street cigarette in hand,
I can see deep down inside their lungs are sayin’ “Don’t let me die”.
You have been my whole life, I’d die without you (maybe).
Lung, you amaze me.
What you do is crazy.
See all I want you to do is be my lung.
(So don’t give out)
My lung, (so don’t give out)
My lung, (so don’t give out)
Ain’t no other organ that can take your spot my lung, (so don’t give out)
My lung, (so don’t give out)
My lung, (so don’t give out)
Ain’t no other organ that can take your spot my lung,
lung, my lung, my lung.
Now if I ran a 20 mile race,
would you keep a steady breathing pace?
(Tell me would you?)
Inspiration don’t come easily.
Please don’t give out just like my kidney.
(In 1992)
See what’s the point in askin’ you this stuff,
’cause what you do is far more than enough.
(I just love you)
It’s a respiratory job well done,
lung, you’ve got to be my number one
(There’s no one like you) – because –
When I see my smokin’ friends,
walkin’ down the street cigarette in hand,
I can see deep down inside their lungs are sayin’ “Don’t let me die”.
You have been my whole life, I’d die without you (maybe).
Lung, you amaze me.
What you do is crazy.
See all I want you to do is be my lung.
(So don’t give out)
My lung, (so don’t give out)
My lung, (so don’t give out)
Ain’t no other organ that can take your spot my lung, (so don’t give out)
My lung, (so don’t give out)
My lung, (so don’t give out)
Ain’t no other organ that can take your spot my lung, lung,
my lung, (‘Aight it’s time to get it Rachie)
my lung. (I dunno what ya hesitatin’ for, girl).
You breathe air like a fan, exhale once again,
you were there that time scuba diving off Japan.
Listen lung, I don’t wanna be a mean man,
but if you got a minute, lemme give the game plan
’cause I’ve been a bad guy, now I’m worried I might die.
I’m havin’ trouble breathin’ and I don’t know why.
You don’t really wanna let the chance go by,
so come with me to the doctor guy.
Oh lung of mine don’t let me die,
let me live please won’t you try?
Back home they call me smoker guy, (why?)
Just because those cigs I guy. (puff puff)
I’d hate to have to cancel my vacation ’cause I’m ’bout to die.
I’m waitin’ for the reason why,
Don’t go do this, you’ll make me cry.
Hold up! What you mean misdiagnosis (what?)
Ne emphysema? (You got halitosis)
No oxygen tank, I’m free, I’m free!
Whippin’ past you like a winter breeze,
easy now, let’s take things slow,
because you had so far to go.
Breathing comes so easy now.
The way you work I don’t know how.
Check it…our video is now on TheLungChallenge.com, hoping to make a difference in the lives of those who watch it! http://thelungchallenge.com/play.php?vid=96
P.S.
Don’t smoke.

COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary (PULL-mun-ary) disease, is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. “Progressive” means the disease gets worse over time.
COPD can cause coughing that produces large amounts of mucus (a slimy substance), wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and other symptoms.
Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD. Most people who have COPD smoke or used to smoke. Long-term exposure to other lung irritants, such as air pollution, chemical fumes, or dust, also may contribute to COPD.
COPD is caused by noxious particles or gases, most commonly from smoking which trigger an abnormal inflammatory responsein the lung.The inflammatory response in the larger airways is known as chronic bronchitis which is diagnosed clinically when people regularly cough up sputum In the alveolithe inflammatory response causes destruction of the tissue of the lung, a process known as emphysema The natural course of COPD is characterized by occasional sudden worsenings of symptoms called acute exacerbations, most of which are caused by infectionsor air pollution
The diagnosisof COPD requires lung function testsImportant management strategies are smoking cessation, vaccinations rehabilitation and drug therapy (often using inhalers Some patients go on to requiring long-term oxygen therapy or lung transplantation
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a serious lung disease that, over time, makes it hard to breathe. It is the 4th leading cause of death in the United States and causes serious, long-term disability. The number of people with COPD is increasing. More than 12 million people are currently diagnosed with COPD and an additional 12 million likely have the disease and don’t even know it.
You may have heard COPD called other names, like emphysema or chronic bronchitis. In people who have COPD, the airways—tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs—are partly blocked, which makes it hard to get air in and out.
