Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia are two of the few fatal lung diseases which share common adventitious lung sounds. Diagnosing the disease from lung sound analysis to design a noninvasive technique for telemedicine is a challenging task. A novel framework is presented to perform a diagnosis of COPD and Pneumonia via application of the signal processing and machine learning approach. This model will help the pulmonologist to accurately detect disease A and B. COPD, normal and pneumonia lung sound (LS) data from the ICBHI respiratory database is used in this research. The performance analysis is evidence of the improved performance of the quadratic discriminate classifier with an accuracy of 99.70% on selected fused features after experimentation. The fusion of time domain, cepstral, and spectral features are employed. Feature selection for fusion is performed through the back-elimination method whereas empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT)-based techniques are used to denoise and segment the pulmonic signal. Class imbalance is catered with the implementation of the adaptive synthetic (ADASYN) sampling technique.

The most frequent chronic lung disease characterized by increased resistivity to airflow as a result of airway obstruction. A study to assess the effectiveness of breathing exercises on selected pulmonary parameters on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. To assess the pulmonary function before administering breathing exercises, to assess the pulmonary function after administering breathing exercises. The research design used in this study was quasi-experimental, two groups before and after design. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was followed to allow the samples to an experimental and control group. The tool contains 3 parts part A-demographic variables, part B-measurement of pulmonary parameters and part C-self-instructional module on breathing exercises. The practicing of breathing exercise was found to be effective in improving the pulmonary parameters. Younger age patients gained more breathing hold time after practicing breathing exercise. Non-smokers gained more chest expansion and PEFR after practicing breathing exercise. The results of the study were concluded that selected breathing exercises (Pursed lip and Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise) given to the COPD patients was effective to improve in their pulmonary parameters.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease, showing the exaggerated response of airways to any injurious stimulus. It is no longer considered as the disease of men as it is becoming increasingly prevalent in females. Evidence suggests that gender affects the clinical presentation of the disease. The objectives of the study is to compare spirometry data between male and female smokers with COPD and to study the association of cough, sputum, and dyspnea with gender in smokers with COPD. METHODOLOGY: This descriptive study was conducted at the University of Health Sciences Lahore. The study sample included 41 COPD patients with a history of smoking. After taking written informed consent, patients were recruited from the outpatient departments of tertiary care hospitals of Lahore by convenience sampling technique. A complete history was taken, and spirometry was done on each subject. The subjects were divided into male and female groups, followed by the comparison of Spirometry data between the groups and association of symptoms with gender using appropriate statistical techniques. RESULTS: The results of this study demonstrated females were significantly younger and exhibited a greater decline of lung functions with similar pack-years history compared to male smokers with COPD. The most common presentation of females was breathlessness compared to male patients, who had sputum production as the most common presentation. CONCLUSION: Significant differences were seen in spirometry and clinical presentation of the disease in male and female COPD groups, showing the onset and symptomology of the disease.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a leading cause of death and disability. Thus, the effort to reduce the symptoms, such as dyspnea is necessity. Pursed lip breathing is assumed increasing oxygen saturation.Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of pursed lips breathing in increasing oxygen saturation in patients with COPD in internal ward 2 of the General Hospital of Dr. R. Soedarsono Pasuruan on May 16 - June 30, 2017.Methods: This was a pre-experimental design with pre-posttest design. There were 24 patients with COPD selected using simple random sampling technique. Pulse oximetry (oximeter pulse fingertip) was used to measure oxygen saturation. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test.Results: Findings showed p-value 0.000 (0.05), which indicated that there was a statistically significant difference in oxygen saturation before and after pursed lips breathing.Conclusion: There was a significant effect of pursed lips breathing on oxygen saturation in patients with COPD in the internal ward 2 of the general hospital of Dr. R. Soedarsono Pasuruan. Thus, pursed lips breathing could be applied as a nursing intervention in patients with COPD.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic infectious disease characterized by air flow resistance in the airways that is progressively non-reversible or partial reversible, this condition can cause patients to experience shortness of breath, giving rise to conditions of discomfort in body functions and patient limitations in carrying out activities daily. The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of diaphragm therapy for the comfort of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The design of this study was one group pre-post test. The population in this study were all patients in the Cempaka pavilion in Jombang General Hospital with an average of 26 patients per month. The sample in this study was 20 respondents using simple random sampling technique. Data collection using a questionnaire. Processing data using editing, coding, scoring, tabulating and analyzing data using statistical tests Paired Sample T Test with alpha 0.05.
