Patient education in asthmatic adults

Abstract

Despite the advances in the understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms, clinical assessment, and medical treatment of asthma, an increase of mortality and morbidity has been observed. It is clear from several studies, however, that this discrepancy may be at least partly due to serious defects, among asthmatic patients, in the ability to judge the severity of their asthma, and in the knowledge of medication and the correct action to take, when deterioration occurred. Therefore, to effectively manage asthma, structured education programs for adult asthmatics appear to be useful including information about the disease and the medication as well as training of self-management of airflow limitation by the patients. The evaluation of the course of the disease before and after the education revealed a reduction of severe attacks, hospitalizations, and days lost from work in trained asthmatics.

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.
