Asthma-I: Introduction01:29

Asthma-I: Introduction

2.6K
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-II: Pathophysiology and Classification

2.6K
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:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Rising global obesity rates are linked to increased asthma prevalence and severity.
  • Obesity exacerbates asthma control and susceptibility.
  • The relationship between obesity and asthma is evident from childhood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the interplay between asthma and obesity using objective imaging methods.
  • To assess the consistency of imaging techniques with anthropometric measures (BMI, Waist Circumference).
  • To explore how fat distribution and composition relate to respiratory function in asthma.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search of PubMed, Web of Sciences, and Scopus up to January 2024.
  • Keywords: asthma, obesity, imaging techniques.
  • Review of studies correlating anthropometric data and imaging findings with asthma parameters.

Main Results:

  • Consistency between anthropometric methods and imaging techniques for obesity assessment in asthma is uncertain.
  • Imaging methods precisely locate adipose tissue and distinguish fat from lean mass, correlating with airway parameters.
  • Abdominal visceral fat is a key asthma predictor, particularly in pediatric populations; sex-based differences in lung function and obesity exist.

Conclusions:

  • Imaging techniques provide more accurate and reproducible assessments of fat mass (visceral and subcutaneous) than anthropometric methods.
  • These advanced methods enhance understanding of obesity's impact on lung function and asthma.
  • Further research using imaging is crucial for personalized asthma management in obese individuals.
