The name Centereach was chosen when it was discovered that a name in Upstate New York already had the name New Village. The name indicates the centrality of the hamlets location on Long Island. Dawn Estates and Eastwood Village were the first suburbs in the area, built in the 1950s.
Steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs such as prednisone, can be used for asthma as well as other lung diseases. Prednisone and other steroids (inhaled, oral, or by injection) help calm airway inflammation in asthma.
Sometimes steroids may be used to ease wheezing and bronchospasm. Pneumonia can be very dangerous for someone with COPD, since people with COPD have reduced lung function. The strain of pneumonia can produce respiratory failure, and breathing assistance with a ventilator (breathing machine) may be needed. In some cases, pneumonia-related complications can lead to death.
