Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

1.5K
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.

Asthma I: Introduction01:28

Asthma I: Introduction

112
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...

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

2.4K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Respiratory Medicine
  • Public Health Interventions
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory condition in children.
  • Primary schools offer a key setting for health interventions.
  • Evidence for school-based asthma programs requires synthesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively review literature on primary school asthma interventions.
  • To identify research gaps in school-based asthma management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Extensive literature search across multiple databases (Medline, PubMed, ERIC, IPA, CINAHL, Embase, Informit).
  • Keywords included "asthma", "asthma intervention", and "school-based asthma education program".
  • Inclusion criteria applied to 23 selected articles, including eight Randomized Controlled Trials.

Main Results:

  • Interventions varied in type, content, delivery, and outcome measures.
  • Most studies reported improvements in clinical (e.g., symptoms, medication use) and humanistic (e.g., quality of life) markers.
  • Few studies assessed academic outcomes, sustainability, or cost-effectiveness; intervention details and outcome measures lacked consistency.

Conclusions:

  • School-based asthma interventions yield positive clinical, humanistic, health economic, and academic outcomes.
  • Despite heterogeneity, these programs demonstrate significant benefits.
  • Further research is needed on intervention specifics, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
