Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

405
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.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

299
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...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Exercise Physiology

Background:

  • Asthma affects millions globally, with higher prevalence in elite athletes (20-70%).
  • Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is common in athletes, impacting performance and well-being.
  • Athlete asthma phenotypes vary, presenting unique management challenges due to heightened airway sensitivity and environmental exposures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of EIB in athletes.
  • To highlight the specific factors contributing to EIB in athletic populations.
  • To emphasize optimal diagnostic and management strategies for athletes with EIB.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on EIB in athletes.
  • Focus on physiological and environmental factors in EIB pathogenesis.
  • Discussion of diagnostic approaches including exercise and provocation tests.
  • Analysis of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options.

Main Results:

  • EIB pathogenesis involves airway dehydration, cooling, inflammation, and hyper-responsiveness.
  • Elite athletes show distinct inflammatory responses and heightened sensitivity.
  • Swimming and chlorine exposure increase EIB risk.
  • Objective diagnostic tests, particularly provocation tests, are essential for EIB diagnosis in athletes.
  • Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are the primary treatment, with other medications and non-pharmacological strategies playing supportive roles.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis of EIB in athletes is fundamental for effective management.
  • Optimal management improves athletes' quality of life and competitive performance.
  • A comprehensive approach combining trigger avoidance, appropriate medication, and regular monitoring is key.
