Almost everybody knows somebody that has developed dementia.  The progressive loss of cognition and function can have devastating effects on the individual and their family and loved ones.  Furthermore, patients with dementia can develop personality and behavior changes that can significantly strain the function and stability of their personal relationships.

Currently there are no known ways to prevent dementia.  Our inability to prevent dementia is partially due to an incomplete understanding of what causes many of the most common forms of dementia, such as Alzheimers disease.

In the absence of clear treatment strategies to prevent dementia, a plausible next option is to try to treat or prevent risk factors known to cause it.

Cough, shortness of breath, and tightness in the chest are some common symptoms of COPD.

Millions of Americans suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive loss of lung function, but many might not know they have it. COPD symptoms often go ignored. “The most common symptom is shortness of breath,” says Norman Edelman, MD, chief medical officer for the American Lung Association in Washington, D.C. “It may be very subtle. A person might just think ‘I’m getting a little puffy on the golf course, I’m getting old, fat.’ People tend to put it aside and not worry about it.”
