Abstract:
Among neuroeosinophilic syndromes, neuromuscular disorders are considered as a special group, including perimyosistis, polymyositis and fasciitis. These three disorders are considered as a continuum. They usually without a recognized cause, and are considered to be spontaneous or exercise-induced. We report the case of a 43 year-old woman who experienced angioedema followed by an histologically proven-fasciitis with eosinophilia after Ramipril (Triatec) use. Causal attribution to Ramipril was considered "plausible". To our knowledge this side effect has never been reported with this drug.

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.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:

Amebiasis
Allergic Reactions
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.
