    Extractions: WEB SERVICES: (AP) A risky surgery to remove part of the damaged lungs of emphysema patients appears to at least temporarily improve their ability to breathe, walk and lead more normal lives, a small study found. While a few thousand people with severe emphysema have had the operation and reported substantial improvement, Medicare and private insurers won't pay for it without proof it works better than standard medical care.

23. NHLBI, COPD, Chronic Bronchitis And Emphysema
    What Are Chronic Bronchitis and emphysema? The number of individuals withemphysema in the United States is estimated to be 2 million.  
    http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/lung/other/copd/bronemph.htm
    
    Extractions: HOME SITE INDEX CONTACT US TIPS ... Publications Chronic bronchitis, one of the two major diseases of the lung grouped under COPD, is diagnosed when a patient has excessive airway mucus secretion leading to a persistent, productive cough. An individual is considered to have chronic bronchitis if cough and sputum are present on most days for a minimum of 3 months for at least 2 successive years or for 6 months during 1 year. In chronic bronchitis, there also may be narrowing of the large and small airways making it more difficult to move air in and out of the lungs. An estimated 12.1 million Americans have chronic bronchitis. People with familial emphysema have a hereditary deficiency of a blood component called alpha-1-antitrypsin resulting in the loss of a lung structural protein, elastin. In emphysema there is permanent destruction of the alveoli, the tiny elastic air sacs of the lung, because of irreversible destruction of a protein in the lung called elastin that is important for maintaining the strength of the alveolar walls. The loss of elastin also causes collapse or narrowing of the smallest air passages, called bronchioles, which in turn limits airflow out of the lung. The number of individuals with emphysema in the United States is estimated to be 2 million. In the general population, emphysema usually develops in older individuals with a long smoking history. However, there is also a form of emphysema that runs in families. People with familial emphysema have a hereditary deficiency of a blood component, alpha-l-protease inhibitor, also called alpha-l-antitrypsin (AAT). The number of Americans with this genetic deficiency is quite small, probably no more than 70,000. It is estimated that 1 in 3,000 newborns have a genetic deficiency of AAT, and 1 to 3 percent of all cases of emphysema are due to AAT deficiency.

    Extractions: Emphysema Advertising Emphysema is one of the lung disorders classified as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In emphysema, damage to the air sacs in the lungs reduces their ability to pick up oxygen from the air we breathe. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause. Others are air pollution, allergies, and infections. Dust or chemical-filled air at work can cause emphysema. The disease becomes more likely as we get older. The most common symptom is gradually increasing difficulty in breathing that grows worse over a period of many years. Finally, breathing becomes difficult even when you're resting. You may also cough up small amounts of sputum or have swelling in your feet and hands. People with emphysema tend to have very pink skin, to be thin, and have a barrel-shaped chest. Treatment is aimed at helping you breathe more easily. If the problem is severe, you may need a stay in the hospital, where you can get oxygen, breathing treatments, and medicine.
