[Immunologic aspects of clinical approaches to occupational respiratory diseases]
Abstract:
The authors presented a review on contemporary programs of immunologic examination for patients suffering from occupational respiratory diseases, materials on immunologic mechanisms and on pathogenetic and diagnostic criteria. Comparison covers immunologic parameters proving efficiency of immune modulators inclusion into complex treatment. The authors justify prospects of immunologic studies of receptor-dependent Fas-induced apoptosis, cytokine profiles (inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines) and immune therapy improvement.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification
Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
