Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

2.1K
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...

Inhaled Medications

929
Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...

Asthma-I: Introduction

3.6K
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...

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.

Inhalational Anesthetics: Overview01:20

Inhalational Anesthetics: Overview

1.3K
Inhalation anesthetics are drugs that induce general anesthesia upon inhalation. They work by increasing the sensitivity of GABAA receptors or inhibiting NMDA receptors, leading to a decrease in central nervous system activity. The depth of anesthesia can be rapidly adjusted by changing the concentration of the inhaled gas. Some common examples of inhalational anesthetics include volatile liquids like isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane and gases like xenon and nitrous oxide. Isoflurane, a...

Summary

This review identifies common aeroallergens in Portugal and patient sensitization levels. The findings map allergen distribution, aiding clinicians in allergy diagnosis and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental science
  • Allergology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Aeroallergens are significant triggers for allergic diseases worldwide.
  • Understanding local aeroallergen prevalence is crucial for effective allergy management.
  • Portugal lacks a comprehensive overview of its aeroallergen landscape and patient sensitization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize research on prevalent aeroallergens in Portugal.
  • To present aeroallergen sensitization levels in Portuguese patients.
  • To map the temporal and spatial distribution of aeroallergens across Portugal.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing studies on aeroallergens in Portugal.
  • Data compilation and summarization into tables.
  • Geographical mapping of aeroallergen distribution and exposure periods.
