A Surgical Exploration of the Mechanism and Regulation of the Respiratory System: A Conceptual Analysis
Abstract: The respiratory system plays a vital role in facilitating the movement of air in and out of the body, comprising a complex network of anatomical pathways. It is conventionally divided into two primary sections: the upper respiratory tract and the lower respiratory tract. Within the upper respiratory tract lie structures extending from the nasal passages down to the vocal cords, crucial for phonation. These vocal cords, composed of mucous membrane …

In Silico Screening and Molecular Docking of Cynodon dactylon phytochemicals against COPD-Associated Proteins
Abstract: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD is a pulmonary disease that obstructs airways and alveoli accompanied by respiratory issues like emphysema and bronchitis. This disease is caused mainly by inflammatory responses of the body to foreign particles that enter the respiratory path including tobacco smoke, air pollutants and irritants. The hallmark of COPD is excessive inflammation caused by imbalance in protease anti-protease activity. Proteases like elastase breakdown the ECM of …

Bronchiectasis- An Ayurvedic Review And Treatment – A Case Study
Abstract: Bronchiectasis is an epidemic of chronic, complex, heterogeneous and progressive irreversible airways disease. The pathophysiology of the disease is understood in terms of the interconnected concept of immune-inflammatory disease effects, impaired mucociliary clearance and structural lung damage causing irreversible damage and differential movement in recurrent exacerbations and persistent bronchiectasis. Research is needed about the larger world. Management of the disease is the most difficult aspect. Understanding the pathophysiology and biomarkers …

Pulmonary Function Status in Underweight Adults: A Literature Review
Abstract: Pulmonary functions are generally determined by respiratory muscle strength, compliance of the lung, thoracic cavity, airway resistance and elastic recoil of the lungs. Vital capacity depends on age, sex, height, mass, activity status and ethnicity. Underweight status represents depleted body fat and lean tissue stores. Recent researches, meta analysis and clinical oriented literatures were taken in the study to establish evidence-based efficacy of pulmonary function status in underweight young adults. …
