A polluted environment nurtures a disease ridden society
(Based on an interview with Dr KC Mohanty, Founder President of The Environmental Medical Association)
The 20th National Conference on Environmental Sciences and Pulmonary Medicine--NESCON, was organized in Mumbai in very green surroundings during the last week of June 2014, by the Academy of Respiratory Medicine under the auspices of the Environmental Medical Association. As always, this Environment and Lifestyle diseases conference emphasized upon the impact of various controllable environmental factors on human health through an increasing disease burden.
Beware of the cough and spit: It can cause TB
Shobha Shukla, CNS ColumnistSeveral interesting aspects about the survival of the tuberculosis (TB) causing aerobic bacteria in real life environments were discussed in a lively talk by Dr Tushar Sahasrabudhe of Dr DY Patil Medical College, Pune, on the last day of the 20th National Conference on Environmental Sciences and Pulmonary Diseases (20th NESCON), organized by the Academy of Respiratory Medicine under the auspices of Environmental Medical Association in Mumbai.
Is it Asthma or COPD?
Shobha Shukla, CNS ColumnistBoth asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are chronic diseases involving airflow obstruction and are consequences of gene environment interaction. COPD includes progressive respiratory diseases like emphysema and chronic bronchitis and is characterized by decreased airflow over time and increased inflammation. While airway obstruction in asthma is reversible, airflow limitation in COPD is usually not reversible, although one third of COPD patients do respond to bronchodilators agents and show good reversibility.

Oxygen therapy is like a prescription drug: Use it rationally
Shobha Shukla, CNS Columnist
An optimum amount of oxygen is essential for the functioning and survival of all body tissues and even a few minutes deprivation can prove fatal. When saturation level of oxygen in the body falls due to some respiratory illness or injury then we need to replenish it artificially to maintain an optimum level by giving oxygen therapy to the patient. This method of dealing with ‘respiratory failure’ was explained succinctly by Dr Girija Nair, Head Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Dr DY Patil Medical College, Mumbai on the 1st day of 20th NESCON, (20th National Conference On Environmental Sciences And Pulmonary Diseases), organized by the Academy of Respiratory Medicine in Mumbai under the auspices of Environmental Medical Association.
