[Role of membranous disturbances in the development of bronchial hyperresponsiveness]
Abstract:
The biophysical parameters of lymphocytic membranes and their phospholipid spectrum were studied in relation to the manifestations of nonspecific hyperreactivity of the bronchial tree in 69 patients with bronchial asthma of varying severity. Impairments of the biochemical and structural states of membranes were ascertained to be one of the major pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for the clinical, pathophysiological, and pathomorphological manifestations of the disease, its severity and persistent course.

Asthma I: Introduction
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.
