Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

1.0K
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-II: Pathophysiology and Classification

3.8K
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:

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Pulmonology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Equine asthma, a significant respiratory condition in horses, shares similarities with human asthma.
  • Understanding its diverse phenotypes and endotypes is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize current knowledge on equine asthma, including causes, pathophysiology, and phenotypes.
  • To compare equine asthma with human asthma models.
  • To identify research priorities and foster collaboration.

Main Methods:

  • The 2019 Havemeyer Workshop convened experts in equine respiratory disease.
  • Discussions included comparative analysis of human and equine asthma phenotypes and endotypes.
  • Review of infectious/non-infectious causes, genetics, and pathophysiology.

Main Results:

  • Limited diagnostic tools and biomarkers hinder field practice for equine asthma.
  • Need for accessible, standardized diagnostics to identify specific phenotypes/endotypes.
  • Establishment of the Equine Asthma Group to bridge research and practice.

Conclusions:

  • Targeted treatments and management strategies for equine asthma require better diagnostic capabilities.
  • The Equine Asthma Group will facilitate communication, guideline dissemination, and research collaboration.
  • Further research is needed to refine understanding and diagnostics of equine asthma.
