Abstract

Asthma is an inflammatory illness of which the morbidity and mortality are on the increase. Its diagnosis is by clinical history, exploration of respiratory function, immuno-allergological investigation, skin tests and biological measurements that today are well-developed. Treatment of asthma must first fight the bronchial inflammation before a consideration of the etiological aspects. It uses inhaled corticosteroids (CSI), which is the step of etiological treatment, because of their good dose-efficacy properties. Bronchial penetration of CSI in an aerosol dose is often uncertain because of problems of hand-lung coordination. Beclojet 250, thanks to its Jet inhalation device, gives optimal broncho-pulmonary penetration.

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.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
