Asthma-I: Introduction

3.3K
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...

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

1.7K
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: Pathogenesis and Management

1.1K
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.

Bronchodilators are critical in managing asthma, a chronic respiratory condition characterized by airway constriction due to inflammation and hyper-reactivity. Specifically, bronchodilators ease this constriction by relaxing the bronchial muscles, facilitating easier breathing.
One class of bronchodilators includes β2-adrenoceptor agonists. These agents target the β2-adrenoceptors located on bronchial smooth muscle cells. By stimulating these receptors, β2-agonists induce...

    Summary

    Muslims fasting during Ramadan may avoid asthma inhalers, risking health. Islamic rulings on inhalers vary, but timing medication use or seeking exemptions for illness can ensure asthma control while observing religious practices.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Science
    • Islamic Jurisprudence
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Ramadan fasting involves abstaining from food, drink, and medication from sunrise to sunset.
    • Asthma management requires consistent use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting beta-agonists (LABA) to prevent exacerbations.
    • There is religious debate among Islamic scholars regarding whether asthma inhaler use invalidates fasting.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the dilemma faced by Muslim asthma patients regarding inhaler use during Ramadan fasting.
    • To provide guidance on maintaining asthma control while adhering to religious obligations.
    • To highlight the importance of physician education on asthma management during Ramadan.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of Islamic jurisprudence concerning fasting and medication use.

  • Analysis of asthma treatment guidelines and patient adherence challenges during Ramadan.
  • Exploration of strategies for timing inhaler use and utilizing religious exemptions.

    • Main Results:

    • Divergent scholarly opinions exist on whether inhalers break the fast, with some citing gaseous nature and others mucosal precipitation.
    • Strategic timing of twice-daily inhaler use at Sehour and Fetour can align with fasting hours.
    • Islamic principles permit exemptions for individuals with chronic illnesses like asthma, allowing them to break fast if necessary.

    Conclusions:

    • Physicians must educate asthma patients on the critical importance of adhering to preventer inhaler therapy during Ramadan.
    • Timing medication or utilizing religious allowances for illness can ensure asthma control without compromising religious observance.
    • Integrating asthma management during Ramadan into medical, nursing, and pharmacy curricula is recommended.
