Pharmacological Treatment in Asthma and COPD
Many lines of previous studies have reported that differences and similarities between bronchial asthma (BA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The pathological and physiological abnormalities of these diseases have been also discussed. BA and COPD have some similarities such as airfl...

However, both two diseases are regarded different diseases since their mechanisms of development are quite different.
