Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview01:16

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview

1.0K
Upper respiratory tract disorders, including viral infections and allergic rhinitis, cause significant discomfort and disrupt daily life. Managing these conditions involves a variety of drugs, such as antihistamines, intranasal steroids, decongestants, antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics. Specific examples of drugs in each category are provided.
Antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl) block histamines from binding. Histamines are chemicals released during an allergic reaction in the body. As a...

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

815
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Microbiota of the Respiratory Tract01:29

Microbiota of the Respiratory Tract

47
The human respiratory tract, comprising the upper and lower segments, serves as a critical interface with the external environment. The upper respiratory tract (URT)—including the nostrils, sinuses, pharynx, and oropharynx—is heavily colonized by microbes, while the lower respiratory tract (LRT), composed of the larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs, was long thought to be sterile. However, recent molecular studies have revealed that the lungs are not devoid of microbes but act more...

Asthma III: Clinical Manifestations01:13

Asthma III: Clinical Manifestations

20
Asthma presents with a characteristic pattern of episodic respiratory symptoms that reflect underlying airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus hypersecretion. Although severity varies among individuals, certain clinical manifestations are considered hallmarks of the disorder and often guide diagnosis and assessment.Respiratory SymptomsA persistent cough is one of the most common early features of asthma. It is frequently dry and tends to worsen at night or in the early morning,...

Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

17.3K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Asthma-I: Introduction01:29

Asthma-I: Introduction

3.8K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...

Area of Science:

  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Occupational Medicine
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Occupational rhinitis involves nasal symptoms like congestion and sneezing due to workplace exposures.
  • It is classified into allergic and nonallergic types based on pathogenesis and causative agents.
  • Prevalence is unknown, but certain jobs increase risk; it can co-occur with occupational asthma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the classification, prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment of occupational rhinitis.
  • To highlight the medical and socioeconomic significance of this occupational disease.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on occupational rhinitis.
  • Analysis of existing data on classification, prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment.

Main Results:

  • Occupational rhinitis presents with varied nasal symptoms linked to workplace allergens or irritants.
  • Classification depends on immune response (allergic) or non-immune mechanisms (nonallergic).
  • Higher-risk professions and the link to occupational asthma are noted.

Conclusions:

  • Occupational rhinitis is a significant health issue with considerable socioeconomic implications.
  • Further research into prevalence and effective management strategies is warranted.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are key for affected workers.
