Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs01:25

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition for which new therapeutic avenues, including anti-inflammatory drugs like mast cell stabilizers and anti-IgE treatments, continue to be developed.
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
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.
Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.
Asthma I: Introduction01:28

Asthma I: Introduction

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways characterized by variable airflow obstruction and heightened bronchial responsiveness to a wide range of triggers. The underlying inflammation leads to airway swelling, mucus hypersecretion, and smooth muscle constriction, all of which narrow the airway lumen and impede airflow. Clinically, asthma presents with recurrent episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, symptoms that typically vary in intensity and...
Asthma-IV: Diagnostic and Management01:30

Asthma-IV: Diagnostic and Management

The diagnosis and management of asthma are comprehensive, encompassing clinical assessments, lung function tests, and pharmacological interventions. Here's an overview:
Clinical Assessment for Asthma:
This is the first step in diagnosing and managing asthma. It includes:
Drugs Used in Lower Respiratory Disorders: Overview01:17

Drugs Used in Lower Respiratory Disorders: Overview

Lower respiratory tract disorders present challenges that often require skilled and nuanced approaches for effective management. Common ailments, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have prompted the development of intricate treatment strategies involving bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory drugs, each tailored to ease breathing and revitalize the lungs.
Bronchodilators, the first step of respiration enhancement, come in various forms, each with its own mechanism...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Pulmonology
  • Allergy

Background:

  • Asthma is a chronic airway inflammatory disease characterized by hyper-responsiveness and variable airflow obstruction.
  • Airflow obstruction can lead to irreversible airway remodeling over time.
  • Traditional subcutaneous immunotherapy has been used for over a century.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution and current landscape of asthma immunotherapy.
  • To discuss novel therapeutic strategies beyond conventional methods.
  • To highlight the potential of immunotherapy in preventing allergic progression.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on asthma immunotherapy.
  • Analysis of various immunotherapy types, including subcutaneous, sublingual, and recombinant allergens.
  • Examination of biologics targeting IgE and other inflammatory mediators.
  • Assessment of T-cell targeted therapies and cytokine modulation.

Main Results:

  • Sublingual immunotherapy is widely used in Europe but less so in North America.
  • Monoclonal antibodies targeting IgE are effective for severe allergic asthma.
  • Emerging therapies focus on modulating Th 2 immune responses and associated cytokines.
  • Classical immunotherapy demonstrates a benefit in preventing new allergic sensitivities.

Conclusions:

  • Asthma treatment has advanced with diverse immunotherapy options.
  • Targeting specific inflammatory pathways and IgE offers new hope for severe asthma.
  • Immunotherapy may play a role in preventing the development of new allergies.
