Asthma: the pulse is not the paradox

Lung
M H Williams

Abstract

Some interesting, unusual features of asthma are discussed: that patients may be better able to evaluate the severity of their asthma than physicians; that expiratory obstruction indirectly increases the work of inspiration; that 1 of the responses to airflow obstruction is hyperventilation; that localized areas of airflow obstruction may cause increased ventilation/perfusion ratios by decreasing perfusion more than ventilation; that increasing tidal volume may cause a reduction in alveolar ventilation; and, finally, that there is evidence that asthma has worsened in recent years, despite advances in the understanding and treatment of this disease.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
