Journal on obstructive pulmonary disease (Sasha Huber) -http://www.thepcrj.org/journ/vol16/16_1_7_15.pdf This is an article on the steps that are necessary to diagnosis asthma in patients younger than five. It suggest that asthma may be over diagnosed in children of this age group. The author is Andrew Bush a professor of Pediatric Respirology and a honorary consultant pediatric chest physician. The author provides references but no way to contact him. This is a nonprofit organization. The article was last updated in 2007 and the journal was last updated in 2011. The goal of the journal is “devoted to the management of respiratory disease in primary care” (http://www.thepcrj.org/about/about_the_pcrj.php). There are no fees associated with the journal. The Primary Care Respiratory Journal is peer reviewed. The journal is written by health care professionals and is intended for medical professionals only. However, it is from the United Kingdoms. I found this journal article interesting as it is about a obstructive pulmonary disease and is about pediatric patients.

James Earley, smokers lungs. This girl is holding healthy lungs and a cigarette smokers lungs. I am glad I quit smoking over a year ago but the truth is that after smoking for 20 years it may be to little too late. I am not sure that I will escape the repercussions of my actions.

COPD The paradigm of COPD has changed in the last 10 years. This journal gives us a review of the latest therapies used and their effectiveness. COPD is the 4th leading cause of death in the US claiming 2.7 million lives anually. This journal gives clear explanations of the disease and the treatments currently used. //US Respiratory Disease// is a peer-reviewed bi-annual journal comprising review articles, case reports, practice guides, theoretical discussions, and original research. It features balanced and comprehensive articles written by leading authorities, addressing the most important developments in the field of respiratory. I found it interesting that this is a completely preventable disease and the destruction it causes is devastating. Great journal article. Rabinovich, R., & MacNee, W. (2010).

__**Trentin Moya - American Lung Association Website Evaluation**__

The American Lung Association (ALA) is a well respected, internationally recognized organization. Since 1915 there researchers have been bettering the lives of individuals (ALA, n.d.a). Due to their research efforts, "P remature babies are less likely to die from respiratory distress syndrome; TB rates are at an all time low; and young and old with chronic lung diseases are benefitting from improved treatment options such as lung transplantation, oxygen therapy and genetically-based medicines" (ALA, n.d.a).

This website contains current information on lung health and healthy air. Users can learn about lungs, how they work, how to protect them, and warning signs of lung disease (ALA, n.d.e). Another link teaches what lung disease is and gives a simplified explanation to a more in-depth discussion on Asthma, COPD, Influenza, and Lung Cancer (ALA, n.d.d). Healthy air includes not only outside air but the air we breathe in our homes, schools, and work areas (ALA, n.d.b).

Though there are no dates listed for last update, I believe this is a credible site with an exemplary reputation. This site was recommended by National Jewish as a resource for my grandparent when a lung disease was diagnosed. This site provides not only general information regarding the lungs, but it also provides the ability to locate current trials and research.

**__Website review: COPD Foundation (.org). Marjorie McGowen __** This website is a non-profit website offered for the information, help and education of those who live with COPD themselves or assist with the medical issues and care of loved ones. They offer free journals and digests regarding the ongoing research and latest medical advances for COPD. The COPD Digest is focused on providing information to those diagnosed with COPD. The Lung Health Professional Magazine they offer is targeted to medical professionals such as physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and other ancillary care personnel. They also offer various other resources including one they collaborated on with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute which is called “The COPD Resource Kit.” This kit includes much of the information, handouts, and DVD’s available from this website. It is to be used a resource for those individuals who seek to educate, inform, and fund-raise for the interests of COPD patients in their own communities. One of the more interesting portions of this website is the portion devoted to research. There are various links in this area to ongoing research regarding COPD, both genetic and treatment related. I would highly recommend this website as it addresses so many venues and areas of interest regarding the COPD experience - from COPDers and caregivers, to medical professionals, to research, resources, and even Blogs. I trust this website as it is linked professionally with The Institutes of Medicine and other nationally recognized organizations all of which promote and work for the betterment of our national health. Please take a few moments to check this out if you or someone you love is dealing with COPD. Also – this would be a __very good resource to write down in our clinical notebooks__ to recommend to families that are newly diagnosed or to ones who may have new concerns regarding their condition.

[|Flu Attack! How A Virus Invades Your Body] By Andrea Pedrosa “All viruses want to spread” is the point of this video animation of how the influenza virus invades the respiratory system - how it enters the cell nucleus and replicates, and how our immune system potentially fights the disease. It is narrated by one of NPR’s hosts, Robert K rulwich about a year ago.

Following is a link to an interesting peer-reviewed, very technical medical article which highlights a few potential complications that our friends and family may experience when coming to visit us from sea level. Three major syndromes, acute mountain sickness (AMS), high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), and high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) are discussed in this article and all caused by a lack of oxygen.
