Abstract

Though several biologic factors have been suggested to play a role in the development and persistence of severe asthma, those associated with psychologic factors remain poorly understood. This study assessed levels of psychologic distress and a range of disease-relevant emotional and behavioral coping styles in patients with severe vs moderate asthma. Eighty-four patients (50% women, mean [M] age 46 years) with severe (n = 42) and moderate (n = 42) asthma were recruited. Severe asthma was defined according to American Thoracic Society criteria. Patients underwent demographic and medical history interviews and pulmonary function and allergy testing. Patients also completed questionnaires measuring asthma symptoms and the Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic Inventory, which assesses psychologic distress and emotional/behavioral coping factors that influence disease progression and treatment. After adjustment for covariates and applying a correction factor that reduced the significant P level to < .01, patients with severe vs moderate asthma reported experiencing more psychologic distress, including worse cognitive dysfunction (F = 6.72, P < .01) and marginally worse anxiety-tension (F = 4.02, P < .05). They also reported worse ...Continue Reading

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.
