Maladie respiratoirevignette|Prévalence des maladies respiratoires dans le monde (selon DALY/OMS 2004) Une maladie respiratoire est une maladie qui touche l'appareil respiratoire ou qui provoque des troubles de la respiration. L'étude des maladies respiratoires est connue sous le nom de pneumologie. Les maladies respiratoires ont sans doute toujours existé, mais elles ont évolué. Jusqu'à la révolution industrielle, la médecine traitait des maladies phtisiologiques et essentiellement la tuberculose, la grippe et quelques autres infections respiratoires endémiques de nombreuses régions habitées par l'homme.
Professional degreeA professional degree, formerly known in the US as a first professional degree, is a degree that prepares someone to work in a particular profession, practice, or industry sector often meeting the academic requirements for licensure or accreditation. Professional degrees may be either graduate or undergraduate entry, depending on the profession concerned and the country, and may be classified as bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degrees.
Engineer's degreeAn engineer's degree is an advanced academic degree in engineering which is conferred in Europe, some countries of Latin America, North Africa and a few institutions in the United States. The degree may require a thesis but always requires a non-abstract project. Through the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB), Engineers Canada accredits Canadian undergraduate engineering programs that meet the standards of the profession.
