Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with the respiratory system. COPD is often treated with inhalers whose two major ingredients are the bronchodilators and the steroids. In this paper we mathematically model the deposition of the inhaled drug on the infected airway into Cauchy-Euler differential equation and use Visual Basic to simulate the evolution of the recovery of the inflamed airway.
