Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)is 4th leading cause of death and its prevalance is increasing steadily due to lifestyle changes and unhealthy habits. COPD includes Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema, it is 2nd most common lung disorder after Pulmonary TB.According to Ayurveda,clinical features of COPD can be correlated with disorders of Pranvaha Strotasdusti and occurs usually in prolonged conditions of Tamak Shwasa.Etiological factors includes smoking,cold weather,dust,air pollution, chemicals etc which are also mentioned in Tamak Shwasa hetu-"Rajasa Dhoomvatabhyam Shitathanambusevanam Rukshanna Vishamashana".Identification,Treatment, Prevention and Control of COPD are important steps to be taken along with lifestyle modifications which are well explained in treatment principles and formulations mentioned in Tamak Shwasa for Prevention and Management of COPD.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, is the third leading cause of death and over the last 20 years, its prevalence has gradually increased. The key explanation may be rapid socio-economic growth, resulting in a transition from traditional to modern lifestyles. From Ayurveda point of view, COPD can be compared with Pranavaha Srotas disease, as the etiological factors and clinical characteris- tics mentioned in Ayurvedic classics for Pranavaha Srotodushti are almost identical to those for COPD and usually occur in Tamaka Shwasa. Risk factors include exposure to air pollution, second-hand smoke and occupational dusts and chemicals, smoking, cold weather etc. which are also mentioned in Ayurvedic classics “Rajasa Dhoomvatabhyam Shitathanambusevanam Rukshanna Vishmashana”. Identification, reduction, and control of risk factors to prevent the onset of COPD are important steps towards developing strategies for prevention of COPD. References regarding lifestyle modification along with treatment principle & formulations mentioned in Ayurveda can be adopted for the prevention and management of COPD.

The Impact

This chapter describes the hazards for construction workers, with a particular focus on injuries as well as exposures to hazardous chemicals and dusts. A section describes hazardous exposures to lead and other heavy metals. Another section describes noise exposure. The impact of musculoskeletal disorders among construction workers is then discussed. A section on respiratory diseases focuses on asbestosis, silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthma. Exposures known to cause dermatitis and cancer are reviewed. There is a discussion of engineered nanomaterials as a potential emerging hazard. Various approaches to prevention and control, including regulations and health services, are described.

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) leads to limited activity and reduced quality of life. Treatment of this disease is a long-term process that requires the cooperation of patients in monitoring and treatment. Methods: In the present study which was conducted from April 2019 to March 2021 in Masih Daneshvari Hospital, Tehran, Iran, 75 patients were randomly divided into telerehabilitation and control groups. Patients in the control group received pulmonary rehabilitation including respiratory, isometric, and aerobic exercises for 8 weeks, three times per week. In the second group, patients were given a lung rehabilitation booklet and asked to repeat the exercises three times a week for four weeks according to a specific schedule. In addition, patients installed Behzee care application on the mobile phone that recorded various indicators such as heart rate, SpO2, dyspnea, fatigue, and daily activities. This application reminded the patient of the program every day and at a specific time. Finally, the patients’ conditions were compared in the two groups after 8 weeks using CAT and mMRC questionnaires and 6-Minute Walk (6MW) exercise indices as well as spirometry tests. Results: In all four indicators (6MW, CAT,  and mMRC questionnaires as well as spirometry), patients showed improvement after rehabilitation (p<0.001). This improvement was significantly higher in the telemedicine group compared to the other group (p<0.01). Conclusion: The use of telerehabilitation in COPD patients is effective in improving spirometry indices, quality of life, as well as activity and sports indices.

We present data of clinical-genealogical study of patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis (82 people) and control group (108 people). Study of frequency of lung’s disease in parents and relatives of seek patients and patients from control group revealed the prevalence of bronchopulmonary pathology in the first group in comparison with the second. Study of frequency morbidity depending on the gender of descendents determined the significant prevalence in girls than in boys. Study of type of family burdening in seek patients revealed the prevalence of the type «seek mother, healthy father».

Background: The use of vitamin D in the treatment of depressive disorders in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is justified by its pathophysiology, but it is not always feasible in clinical practice. This may be related to the lack of guidelines for implementation for this patient group, as well as to the inadequate sample of patients with baseline high vitamin D levels or mild psychoemotional distress.Objective: To assess the changes of psychoemotional status over time in COPD patients against the maintenance of vitamin D levels at>34.3 ng/ml for one year.Materials and methods: The study included 264 COPD patients randomized into the treatment and control groups (135 and 129 patients, respectively). The patients in both groups were divided into 4 subgroups according to their forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) values and vitamin D levels. All the patients were administered an inactive vitamin D (colecalciferol): in the main group, according to the scheme ensuring maintenance of the micronutrient value above the goal for 12 months, and in the control group according to the standard scheme of correction of vitamin D deficiency. Depression symptoms were assessed in Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) at the beginning of the study and at its end.Results: After 12 months of vitamin D treatment, the main group showed a statistically significant decrease in the rate of severe depression (14.8% vs 6.7%, χ2=4.67, p=0.04) and an increase in the proportion of patients with normal psychoemotional status (28.2% vs 49.6%, χ2=13.11, p=0.03). In addition, there was a significant difference between the rates of severe depression in the main and control groups after 12 months of treatment: 6.7% vs 14.7% (χ2=4.52, p=0.02).Conclusion: Maintenance of vitamin D levels above 34.3 ng/ml in COPD patients for 12 months reduces the proportion of patients with severe depression.
