Small Airway Disease in COPD Associated to Biomass Exposure

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex and heterogeneous entity that may result from different causative agents and risk factors and may follow diverse clinical courses, including COPD secondary to biomass smoke exposure. At present, this phenotype is becoming more important for two reasons: first, because at least almost half of the world's population is exposed to biomass smoke, and second, because the possibility of it being diagnosed is increasing. Biomass smoke exposure COPD affects pri… Show more

“…COPD is a chronic lung disease that obstructs the airflow from the lungs ultimately causing difficult breath. Growing sources of evidence stated that the population worldwide resulted in an increased burden of COPD in the coming years (Mannino, & Buist, 2007;Ramírez-Venegas et al;Sullivan et al, 2000). The future challenge is considered to be the implementation of preventive and management measures that are cost-effective and result in accurate COPD treatment (Mannino, & Buist, 2007;Magitta et al, 2018 of pieces of evidence revealed that pomegranate juice plays a vital role in inhibiting the effect of cigarette smoke on human alveolar cells in vitro.…”

“…A growing body of evidence supports that WS-COPD, unlike TS-COPD, is predominantly and markedly a disease of the airways with mild or minimum emphysema [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54]. Although recent publications have focused on the compromise of the small airways in biomass COPD [46,50,52], different from TS-COPD, in WS-COPD there is also a notorious compromise of the central airway due to carbon deposition (bronchial anthracofibrosis) with plaque formation and reduction in the caliber of the lobar bronchi [55][56][57]. In addition to this fundamental pathological difference between WS-COPD and TS-COPD, there are many other differences that we summarize in Table 1 and review it below.…”

“…Ocakli et al described a more significant compromise of FVC with higher FEV1/FVC ratio in people with COPD related to biomass smoke suggesting restrictive ventilatory alteration, but lung volumes were not measured [71]. The chronic airflow limitation in patients with WS-COPD is possibly due not only to the small airways compromise [46,50,52,54], but to anthracofibrosis of the large airways [55][56][57].…”
