Respiratory diseases and injury-induced respiratory failure constitute a significant public healthiness in both developed and fewer developed countries. Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other chronic respiratory conditions are spread globally. These conditions are exacerbated by pollution , smoking, and burning of biomass for fuel, all of which are on the rise in developing countries1,2 Patients with underlying lung disease may develop respiratory failure under a selection of challenges and should be supported mechanical ventilation. These are machines which mechanically assist patients inspire and exhale, allowing the exchange of oxygen and CO2 to occur within the lungs, a process mentioned as procedure. Design and prototyping of a inexpensive portable mechanical ventilator to be utilized in mass casualty cases and resource-poor environments. The ventilator delivers breaths by compressing a typical bag-valve mask (BVM) with a pivoting cam arm, eliminating the need for an individual's operator for the BVM. Now a days, COVID-19 is one among the main issue goes on, and during this disease ventilator is plays the important role. during this project report, we've focused on to style and development of semi-automatic low cost mechanical ventilator.

Although there has been a drastic decline in the cases of Tuberculosis in the United States, the prevalence of infections caused by Mycobacterium avium Complex (MAC) has steadily increased in the past decades. Mycobacterium avium (M. avium) is one of the most abundant microorganisms in the MAC species. The mycobacterium genus is divided into two major groups: tuberculosis causing mycobacteria and non-tuberculous mycobacteria. MAC is most prominent among the non-tuberculous mycobacteria. MAC is an opportunistic pathogen that is present in soil, water, and droplets in the air. MAC infections can result in respiratory disease and can disseminate in affected patients. MAC infections are especially prevalent in patients with preexisting respiratory conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). COPD is one of the most common lung conditions in the world with the primary cause being smoking in developed countries. COPD involves chronic inflammation of lung tissue resulting in increased susceptibility to infection. There is a lack of research regarding the pathophysiology that leads COPD patients to be susceptible to MAC infection. Our review paper therefore aims to investigate how the pathogenicity of MAC bacteria and immune decline seen in COPD patients leads to a greater susceptibility to MAC infection among COPD patients.
