This section presents a definition of asthma, a description of the processes on which that definition is based—the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of asthma, and the natural history of asthma. Asthma is a common chronic disorder of the airways that involves a complex interaction of airflow obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and an ...
Asthma involves many patho - physiologic factors, including bronchiolar inflammation with airway constriction and resist-ance that manifests as epi-sodes of coughing, shortness of breath, and wheezing. Asthma can affect the tra - chea, bronchi, and bronchi-oles. Inflammation can exist even though obvious signs and symptoms of asthma may not al ...
basic features of asthma include episodic airways inflammation, airways hyperresponsiveness, and mucous hypersecretion. Although we understand the basic clinical features of asthma, the links between symptoms, physical signs, and underlying pathophysi-ological mechanisms are still being delineated. Asthma
24 Ιουν 2023 · Asthma is most likely transmitted by multiple genes, with some variation of locus heterogeneity and polygenic inheritance leading to asthma expression being multifaceted. Atopy or IgE antibodies attack specific antigens or pollutants, which can contribute to the disease.
This book focuses on the recent studies on its pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment on bronchial asthma. It explores the latest findings regarding the phenotypes and endotypes of asthmatic patients, making it of particular interest to those involved with eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic asthma.
This arti-cle provides a primer focusing on the current conception asthma in terms of definition, possible etiologies, inflam-matory profile, pathophysiology, subtypes, and overlapping conditions. Conclusion: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disor-der arising from not fully understood heterogenic gene-environment interactions.
The Pathophysiology of Asthma ]ames C. Hogg, M.D. • For the purpose of this discussion, the pathophysiologic features of asthma will be di vided into muscle spasm, airways inflammation with edema, and mucus hypersecretion. While all three are relatively constant features of asthma, their propor
