INTRODUCTION
n (COPD) represents an important public health challenge and is a
major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality throughout the world.
n COPD is currently the fourth leading cause of death in the world but
is projected to be the 3rd leading cause of death by 2020.
n More than 3 million people died of COPD in 2012 accounting for 6%
of all deaths globally.
n Globally, the COPD burden is projected to increase in coming
decades because of continued exposure to COPD risk factors and
aging of the population.
Burden of COPD
The burden of COPD is projected to increase in coming
decades due to continued exposure to COPD risk factors and
the aging of the world’s population.
COPD is associated with significant economic burden.

Definition of COPD
COPD, a common preventable and treatable disease, is
characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually
progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic
inflammatory response in the airways and the lung to noxious
particles or gases.
© Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
COPD includes
1) Chronic Bronchitis
2) Emphysema
PRIOR TO 2004 Asthma was also included
under the same umbrella.
Chronic bronchitis
Defined as a chronic productive cough
for three months in each of two
successive years in a patient in whom
other causes of chronic cough have
been excluded
Emphysema
Abnormal and permanent enlargement
of the airspaces distal to the terminal
bronchioles that is accompanied by
destruction of the airspace walls, without
obvious fibrosis
PATHOLOGY
Airways
 Chronic inflammation
 Increased numbers of goblet cells
 Mucus gland hyperplasia
 Fibrosis
 Narrowing and reduction in the number of small airways
 Airway collapse due to the loss of tethering caused by
alveolar wall destruction in emphysema
Global Strategy for Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD
Mechanisms Underlying Airflow Limitation in COPD
Small Airways Disease
• Airway inflammation
• Airway fibrosis
• luminal plugs
• Increased airway resistance
Parenchymal Destruction
• Loss of alveolar attachments
• Decrease of elastic recoil
Lung Parenchyma
Emphysema affects the structures distal
to the terminal bronchiole, consisting of
the respiratory bronchiole, alveolar
ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli, known
collectively as the acinus.
Normal Acinus
Subtype of emphysema.
Centrilobular emphysema (Proximal acinar)
Abnormal dilation or destruction of the respiratory
bronchiole, the central portion of the acinus. It is
commonly associated with cigarette smoking,
Panacinar emphysema
Refers to enlargement or destruction of all parts of the
acinus.
Seen in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and in smokers
Paraseptal emphysema
Distal acinar - the alveolar ducts are
predominantly affected.
Emphysema
Risk Factors for COPD
Genes
Infections
Socio-economic status
Aging Populations© 2017 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
The risk of developing COPD is related
to the following factors:
Tobacco smoke –
including cigarette,pipe,
cigar, water-pipe and
other types of tobacco
smoking popular in many
countries, as well as
environmental tobacco
smoke(ETS)
Indoor air pollution - from biomass fuel used
for cooking and heating in poorly vented dwellings,
a risk factor that particularly affects women in
developing countries
• Genetic factors - such as severe hereditary
deficiency of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AATD).
• Age and gender - aging and female gender increase COPD risk.
Occupational exposures - including organic
and inorganic dusts, chemical agents and fumes,
are under-appreciated risk factors for COPD
The risk of developing COPD is related to
the following factors:
• Outdoor air pollution - also
contributes to the lungs’ total burden of
inhaled particles,although it appears to
have a relatively small effect in causing
COPD.
Lung growth and development –
any factor that affects lung growth durin
gestation and childhood (low birth weight,
respiratory infections, etc.) has the potential to increase an individual’s
risk of developing COPD.
Socioeconomic status - there is strong evidence that the risk of
developing COPD is inversely related to socioeconomic status. It is
not clear, however, whether this pattern reflects exposures to indoor
and outdoor air pollutants, crowding, poor nutrition, infections, or other
factors related to low socioeconomic status.
• Asthma and airway hyper-reactivity - asthma may be a risk factor
for the development of airflow limitation and COPD.
• Chronic bronchitis - may increase the frequency of total and
severe exacerbations.
• Infections - a history of severe childhood respiratory infection has
been associated with reduced lung function and increased respiratory
symptoms in adulthood.
Genetics
Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic condition that is
responsible for about 2% of cases of COPD.
In this condition, the body does not make enough of a protein,
alpha 1-antitrypsin.
Alpha 1-antitrypsin protects the lungs from damage caused by
protease enzymes, such as elastase and trypsin, that can be
released as a result of an inflammatory response to tobacco
smoke.
Smoking is by far
recognized to be most important risk
factor for development of COPD
But smoking is not the only risk factor!
Biomass smoke
Occupational exposure
Outdoor pollution
3 billion people exposed to biomass fuel
worldwide
Long-term exposure to ambient air pollutants
increased the risk of COPD by 2-fold
Eur J Epidemiol 2003; 18: 45-53 , JAPI 2012; 60 (Suppl):5-7
Non smokers reported greater lifetime burdens of respiratory
disease
10-12% of individuals with COPD have never smoked
Indian Edition
/Vol.4,No.1,2014
Mosquito coil
One mosquito coil emmits particulate matter equivalent to those with
around 100 cigarettes
Pulmonary tuberculosis
Prevalence of airflow obstruction varies from 28 to 68%.
Asthma
10-fold increased risk of chronic bronchitis and 17-fold increased risk
of emphysema

COPD and Asthma
COPD
•Onset in mid-life
• Symptoms slowly progressive
• Long smoking history
ASTHMA
• Onset early in life (often childhood)
• Symptoms vary from day to day
• Symptoms worse at night/early morning
• Allergy, rhinitis, and/or eczema also present
• Family history of asthma

Asthma patients frequently have symptom free periods but
COPD patient can never be asymptomatic
Professor Peter J. Barnes, MD
National Heart and Lung Institute, London UK
The characteristic symptoms of COPD are chronic and progressive
dyspnea, cough, and sputum production that can be variable from day-
to-day.
Dyspnea: Progressive, persistent and characteristically worse with
exercise.
Chronic cough: May be intermittent and may be unproductive.
Chronic sputum production: COPD patients commonly cough up sputum.

Severity of COPD
© 2017 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
The goals of COPD assessment are to determine the severity of
airflow limitation, its impact on the patient’s health status and the risk
of future events (such as exacerbations, hospital admissions or
death), in order to, eventually, guide therapy.
To achieve these goals, COPD assessment must consider the
following aspects of the disease separately
1- The presence and severity of the spirometric abnormality
2- Current nature and magnitude of the patient’s symptoms
3- Exacerbation history and future risk
4- Presence of comorbidities
severity of airflow obstruction

Global Strategy for Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD
Combined Assessment of COPD
• The “ABCD” assessment tool of the 2011 GOLD update was a major advancement from
the simple spirometric grading system of the earlier versions of GOLD because it
incorporated patient-reported outcomes and highlighted the importance of exacerbation
prevention in the management of COPD.
• there were some important limitations. Firstly, the ABCD assessment tool performed no
better than the spirometric grades for mortality prediction or other important health
outcomes in COPD.
• Moreover, group “D” outcomes were modified by two parameters: lung function and/or
exacerbation history, which caused confusion.
• To address these and other concerns (while at the same time maintaining consistency
and simplicity for the practicing clinician), a refinement of the ABCD assessment tool is
proposed that separates spirometric grades from the “ABCD” groups.
Example: Consider two patients - both patients with FEV1 < 30% of
predicted, CAT scores of 18 and one with no exacerbations in the
past year and the other with three exacerbations in the past year.
Both would have been labelled GOLD D in the prior classification
scheme.
However, with the new proposed scheme, the subject with 3
exacerbations in the past year would be labelled GOLD grade
4,group D;
the other subject with no exacerbations would be labelled GOLD
Grade 4, group B.
Deferential diagnosis
Management
Management
Based on the principles of
Prevention of further progress of disease
Preservation and enhancement of
pulmonary functional capacity
Avoidance of exacerbations in order to
improve the quality of life.
1.Bronchodilators
Bronchodilators are central to the symptomatic
management of COPD.
Improve emptying of the lungs,reduce
dynamic hyperinflation and improve
exercise performance .
Bronchodilators
Three major classes of bronchodilators:
β2 - agonists:
Short acting: salbutamol & terbutaline
Long acting :Salmeterol & formoterol
Anticholinergic agents:
Ipratropium,tiotropium
Theophylline (a weak bronchodilator, which may
have some anti-inflammatory properties)
2.Glucocorticoids
Regular treatment with inhaled glucocorticoids is
appropriate for symptomatic patients with an
FEV1<50%pred and repeated exacerbations.
Chronic treatment with systemic glucocorticoids
should be avoided because of an unfavorable
benefit-to-risk ratio.
Influenza vaccines can reduce serious illness. Pneumococcal
polysaccharide vaccine is recommended for COPD patients 65
years and older and for COPD patients younger than age 65 with
an FEV1 < 40% predicted.
Other Pharmacologic Treatments
Alpha-1 antitrypsin augmentation therapy:
not recommended for patients with COPD
that is unrelated to the genetic deficiency.
Mucolytics:Patients with viscous sputum may
benefit from mucolytics; overall benefits are
very small.
Antitussives: Not recommended.
Global Strategy for Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD
Therapeutic Options: Other Pharmacologic
Treatments
Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen -- >15 h /d
Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) improves
survival,exercise,sleep and cognitive performance in
patients with respiratory failure.
The therapeutic goal is to maintain SaO2 ≥ 90% and
PaO2 ≥ 60mmHg at sea level and rest .
Pulmonary rehabilitation
Nutrition
Surgery:
Bullectomy
Lung volume reduction surgery
Lung transplantation
Other Treatments
Exacerbations
 The most common causes of COPD
exacerbations are viral upper respiratory
tract infections and infection of the
tracheobronchial tree.
 The goal of treatment is to minimize the
impact of the current exacerbation and to
prevent the development of subsequent
Global Strategy for Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD
Manage Exacerbations: Key Points
Smoking cessation has the greatest capacity to
influence the natural history of COPD
Pharmacotherapy and nicotine replacement reliably
increase long-term smoking abstinence rates.
Smoking cessation
Complications
Pneumothorax
Cor pulmonale
Exacerbations of copd
Respiratory failure
COPD Comorbidities
COPD patients are at increased risk for:
Cardiovascular diseases
Osteoporosis
Respiratory infections
Anxiety and Depression
Diabetes
Lung cancer
Bronchiectasis
These comorbid conditions may influence mortality and hospitalizations
and should be looked for routinely, and treated appropriately.

Lung neoplasm
Introduction
L.Ca is the most common cause of cancer-related death in men and
women worldwide, responsible for over 1 million deaths annually.
Each year, more people die of L.Ca than of the next three leading
causes of cancer death combined: breast, colon, and prostate
cancer.
Despite advances in surgical techniques and combined therapies,
L.Ca remains a disease with a dismal prognosis. Although 1-year
survival has improved over the past few decades, overall 5-year
survival has remained relatively unchanged at 12% to 16% over the
past 30 years
Genetic and Molecular
Changes in Lung
driver mutations & passenger mutations
lung cancers harbor specific mutations that are essential for
malignant growth (i.e., “driver mutations”), which lead to gain of
function of oncogenes or loss of function of tumor suppressor genes
(TSGs)
harbor mutations that are functionally insignificant (i.e., “passenger
mutations”).

    Introduction L.Ca is themost common cause of cancer-related death in men and women worldwide, responsible for over 1 million deaths annually. Each year, more people die of L.Ca than of the next three leading causes of cancer death combined: breast, colon, and prostate cancer. Despite advances in surgical techniques and combined therapies, L.Ca remains a disease with a dismal prognosis. Although 1-year survival has improved over the past few decades, overall 5-year survival has remained relatively unchanged at 12% to 16% over the past 30 years
