Based on epidemiologic studies of workers in the uranium processing industry, the chronic exposure to aerosols of uranium compounds has not been related to chronic pulmonary health effects, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder or lung cancer. 

The electron-rich thiophene and benzothiophenes are widely used as isosteres of their phenyl cousins in medicinal chemistry. These ring systems can be found in many pharmaceuticals with varied therapeutic applications such as the inhibition of platelet aggregation, treatment of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), bipolar disorder, psychosis, and prevention of osteoporosis, among many others. ... 

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects over 5% of the adult population, is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide and is the only major cause of mortality that is increasing worldwide. It is an inflammatory disorder of the lungs, caused mainly, but not exclusively, by cigarette smoking. 15-20% of smokers develop COPD. 

Other disorders of the lower respiratory tract include emphysema (lung disorder in which the terminal bronchioles or alveoli become enlarged and plugged with mucus) and chronic bronchitis (chronic inflammation and possibly infection of die bronchi). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is die name given collectively to emphysema and chronic bronchitis because die obstruction to die airflow is present most of the time. Asdima diat is persistent and present for most of die time may also be referred to as COPD. 

The symptoms of many chronic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are caused in large part by an excessive and chronic inflammatory response and are therefore potential human diseases for drugs which inhibit the SSAO/VAP-1 activity. Notably, it has been recently shown that patients suffering from either atopic eczema or psoriasis, both chronic inflammatory skin disorders, demonstrate an increase in SSAO/VAP-1 positive vessels in their skin compared to skin from healthy controls [47,48].

Many disorders benefit from exercise (Pederson Saltin, 2005). These include asthma, cancer, chronic heart failure, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), depression, type 1 diabetes melUtus, type 2 diabetes melUtus, hypertension, intermittent claudication, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and obesity.

Correct answer = B. o1-Antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder that can cause pulmonary emphysema even in the absence of cigarette use. An deficiency of a1-antitrypsin permits increased elastase activity to destroy elastin in the alveolar walls, even in nonsmokers. a1-antitrypsin deficiency should be suspected when chronic obstructive pulmonary disease develops in a patient younger than 45 years who does not have a history of chronic bronchitis or tobacco use, or when multiple family members develop obstructive lung disease at an early age.
