Abstract:

The purpose of research--the study of the diagnostic value of indicators of metabolic and phagocytic activity of effector cells (eosinophils, neutrophils) in atopic asthma (ABA) in children. To achieve this goal were formed two clinical groups. Group I included 25 children with ABA, in II clinical group consisted of 26 patients with a diagnosis of asthma without evidence of atopy. In group I there is a tendency to reduce the metabolic activity of blood eosinophil according to NBT-test, the intracellular content of cationic proteins, peroxidase, and their phagocytic activity. Stimulation level NBT test blood eosinophil less than 0,2 c. u. in conjunction with other tests can be used to verify the ABA, as declines in phagocytic activity (less than 60%) and phagocytic number (less than 2 c. u.) of eosinophilic granulocytes blood associated with a significantly higher risk of having atopic asthma.

Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification

Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification

Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory condition marked by inflammation and hyperresponsiveness of the airways. Its pathophysiology involves complex interactions among inflammatory pathways, immune responses, and neural mechanisms.
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:

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:

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

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-III: Symptoms and Complications

Asthma-III: Symptoms and Complications

Asthma, a common chronic respiratory condition, is classified considering the frequency and severity of symptoms alongside lung function impairment. Understanding this classification is essential for appropriate treatment and management. Here's a detailed look at the classification of asthma and its clinical features and complications:
