AB  - Although  most  asthmatic  attacks  are  mild  and  reversible,  severe  attacks  can  be  fatal  and  many  patients  develop  chronic  airflow  limitation  from  permanent  airway  remodeling.  Asthma  is  the  most  common  chronic  disease  of  childhood,  while  chronic  obstructive  pulmonary  disease  (COPD)  is  a  leading  cause  of  death  in  the  world.  COPD  is  the  only  major  cause  of  death  that  is  increasing  in  frequency,  a  phenomenon  attributed  to  tobacco  abuse.  The  prevalence  has  been  stable  in  men,  whereas  the  prevalence  in  women  has  doubled  in  the  past  few  decades  and  women  now  account  for  >50%  of  COPD-related  deaths.
