Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification01:26

Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification

4.8K
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: Pathogenesis and Management

1.6K
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: Introduction

3.7K
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:

  • Pulmonology
  • Clinical Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory disease.
  • Asthma frequently co-occurs with other medical conditions (comorbidities).
  • These comorbidities can significantly impact asthma severity and treatment effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically identify and map the spectrum of key comorbidities associated with asthma.
  • To enhance the understanding of the interplay between asthma and its comorbid conditions.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive systematic scoping review methodology will be employed.
  • Extensive literature searches will be conducted across multiple major electronic databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar.
  • Reference lists of eligible studies and conference proceedings will also be screened for additional relevant literature.

Main Results:

  • This section is to be populated upon completion of the review.

Conclusions:

  • The findings will provide a comprehensive overview of asthma comorbidities.
  • Improved understanding of these comorbidities is expected to inform clinical practice and research directions for better asthma care.
