Respiratory Diseases and Disorders

Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by reversible airflow obstruction and bronchospasm.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious reaction to various forms of injuries or acute infection to the lung.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder leading to respiratory congestion, multiple organ failure, and metabolic changes.

Hypoxia, or hypoxiation, is inadequate oxygen supply to the body as a whole (generalized hypoxia) or a region of the body (tissue hypoxia).
