Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview01:16

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview

334
Upper respiratory tract disorders, including viral infections and allergic rhinitis, cause significant discomfort and disrupt daily life. Managing these conditions involves a variety of drugs, such as antihistamines, intranasal steroids, decongestants, antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics. Specific examples of drugs in each category are provided.
Antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl) block histamines from binding. Histamines are chemicals released during an allergic reaction in the body. As a...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.7K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

3.9K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Common Respiratory Disorders01:31

Common Respiratory Disorders

795
Respiratory disorders, a prevalent health concern globally, are generally divided into two primary categories: upper and lower respiratory tract disorders. The categorization is based on the area of the respiratory system they affect.
Upper respiratory disorders impact the airways above the vocal cords, encompassing areas like the nose, sinuses, and throat. Various conditions fall under this category, including the common cold and allergic rhinitis. These disorders can stem from several causes,...

Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract I: Health History01:28

Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract I: Health History

344
Physical assessment of the respiratory tract is critical to patient care. It allows healthcare professionals to identify and manage various respiratory conditions. The process involves a combination of subjective and objective data collection.
Subjective Data
Subjective data provides vital information about the patient's health history and symptoms. This data is typically collected through interviews in which patients describe their experiences, symptoms, and concerns.
Health history and...

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics01:23

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics

384
Respiratory symptoms, such as congestion and cough, commonly accompany respiratory tract conditions. Various medications, such as antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics, play crucial roles in providing relief.
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla.  Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by...

Area of Science:

  • Digital health and eHealth applications in biomedical research.
  • Leveraging advanced computer science for healthcare innovation.

Background:

  • eHealth, including mobile health (mHealth) apps, offers transformative potential for healthcare delivery.
  • mHealth apps can gather extensive real-time, longitudinal data, advancing biomedical knowledge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and review mobile health apps for rhinitis and rhinosinusitis.
  • To assess the scientific validation and clinical utility of these apps in diagnosis and management.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive search of Google Play and Apple App stores was conducted using a JavaScript-based market research tool.
  • Over 1500 rhinitis and rhinosinusitis apps were identified; a subset with published scientific literature was selected for review.

Main Results:

  • Only seven apps (six for rhinitis, one for rhinosinusitis) have published scientific results.
  • Reviewed apps were assessed for validation, novel phenotype discovery, pollen season identification, diagnosis, management, and treatment adherence.

Conclusions:

  • Published evidence highlights the potential of mHealth apps in characterizing, diagnosing, and managing rhinitis and rhinosinusitis.
  • Further research and validation are needed for the majority of available apps to realize their full clinical potential.
