EMPHYSEMA There is a complicated medical definition for emphy- iema, but for the sake of simplicity let's just call it chronic overlnflatlon of the lungs, Too much air may cause breathlessness as well as too little.

The essential feature of emphysema is difficulty in The body, which can go for weeks without food and days without water, demands Its air moment by There is no mechanism in the body for storing oxygen beyond that which is in the red blood cells and is constantly being used up. Anybody will become as a result of unusual activity, and this Is normal, as long asrecoveryls reasonable prompt. When, however, one becomes breathless under conditions which did not formerly cause this experience, the situation is abnormal. A great many persons think that short-windedness comes with age, But age a lone does not account forbreath- lessness there must be other factors. One among many, but increasingly common as our older population grows, is emphysema involving the lungs.

Emphysema brings about many changes in the minute structure of the lungs, which lend to interfere with breath- Ing instead of helping it. A these become established, it grows more difficult to do anything for the patient; therefore breathlessness is a symptom requiring prompt attention. The sooner treatment is begun, the more likely will results be good. The causes of the changes in the lungs are not exactly known, but suspicion points at many colds with bronchial and lung complications, polluted air, loss of resilience in aging tissues, possibly some hereditary influence.

Many of these causes operate a ear Her ages, underlining the Importance of the often repeated and too seldom heeded warnings about neglecting colds and apparently minor Infections. Some authorities advise against smoking, certainly when one has emphysema, and possibly ass preventive measure. Certain occupations requiring use of the breath, such as glass blow ing and wind-instrument playing, a re blamed for emphysema, but these alone are not enough; there must be underlying trouble in the lungs. There Is no cure for developed emphysema, but there is a great deal of medical treatment which can help the patient even though the disease is not cured. The sufferer from emphysema mustusually be under continuous medical supervision and under active treatment whenever his comfort so requires.
