Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: History, Community, Culture & Applications

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a long-term lung condition that makes it progressively harder to breathe. It occurs when the airways and lung tissue become damaged, leading to reduced airflow and reduced efficiency of oxygen exchange in the lungs. COPD develops gradually over time, and while it cannot currently be cured, treatments and…
