spiriva
I read that roflumilast is a new drug that controls the inflammation that causes copd to get more severe. I currently use Spiriva and this article said that there was a higher rate of sudden death with the mist inhalers in people with vascular disease. So I am thinking about switching up after talking it over with my doctor.roflumilast is a pill you take daily.So I guess your answer would be anti-inflammatory.
Because of serious side effects I quit the use of inhaled steroids two years ago. (I am at the lower edge of stage II COPD). I substituted natural anti-inflammatories and my breathing is better for it. What had been serious bronchitis abated. I continued to use DuoNeb and Zyrtec. But the real improvement was when a respiratory therapist suggested I take nebulized Mucomyst (acetylcisteine). I have not coughed one single time since I started using it and my FEV1 has improved 20 per cent.
The New England Journal of Medicine has a write up of the studies done showing that Epstein-Barr and other viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma's are causitive factors in developing Autoimmune diseases.
Just goes to show you that you need to find out WHY you have the disorder not just accept and ignore. Most people don't push to find out why and dig further.
Found an article from the New England Journal of medicine NEJM first hit in my google search
“Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis Associated with Hepatitis C Virus Infection“
Apparently this condition is on the spectrum of known extrahepatic conditions that are associated with hep c infection in some patients.
There is an article titled “Extrahepatic manifestations of chronic hepatitis C virus infection” on ncbi.nlm.nih.
Would a Fractional flow Reserve or FFR, posted on the New England Journal of Medicine on JAN. 2009 would have been a better procedure as opposed to an angiogram with die and implant of an Integrity RX BMS STENT on a 88 year old male with no history of cardio or pulmonary issues, fairly healthy who suffered his first heart attack at 88 years of age? just curious.
At my six-monthly checkup at my local hospital here in Spain there was a replacement doctor and since he was young I thought he might be willing to hear why I was not taking spiriva and steroids. He confirmed that a person with severe COPD MUST use these medicines. But - I objected - they do not cure, they’re only supposed to make you feel a little better and have nasty adverse effects.
Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder) has a maximum duration of action of about 36 hours. To be safe, you would want to be off the medicine for 48 to 72 hours before the spirometry. It would have been preferable, but not mandatory to do the pulmonary function tests (PFTs) at the time the diagnosis of chronic lung disease was made especially if the diagnosis was unequivocal. The other important question would be, “Why 3 CT scans, presumably of your lungs, in 16 months?
I agree. They still work for me but a part of me still misses my old white buddy, rather than this new blue imposter!
Kathy~What country do you live in. Usually in the U.S., the enlargement of an aortic root is given in centimeters. Having said that, I recently (August this year) had ascending thoracic aneurysm surgery with a st jude valve implantation. If they told you that you have an enlarged aortic root....that, translated is ANEURYSM. If it is 4cms or larger, surgery is usually indicated if it is an ascending (on the way up to the aorta).
s also probably something that is not really appropliate for discussion here). In fact, a study in the New England Journal of Medicine finds that the optimal number of male ejaculations per month for prostate health is 25, so you may inadvertantly be doing yourself a favor. There are people here who would disagree with me based on their religous beliefs, but that's the beauty of America.
