Summary
Achieving asthma remission, defined as a sustained absence of symptoms and exacerbations, is a feasible goal. Holistic care, including managing allergic airway diseases and lifestyle factors, significantly supports remission.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonology
- Allergology
- Clinical Medicine
Background:
- Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease with variable symptoms and airflow limitation.
- Current treatments offer control but not a definitive cure, making remission a key management goal.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current understanding of asthma remission rates and influencing factors.
- To evaluate the impact of various therapeutic strategies on achieving asthma remission.
- To emphasize the importance of comprehensive care for asthma management.
Main Methods:
- Literature review summarizing recent findings on asthma remission.
- Analysis of therapeutic strategies including immunotherapy and biologics.
- Evaluation of comprehensive asthma care components.
Main Results:
- Clinical remission is an achievable goal in asthma management.
- Factors influencing remission include immunotherapy, biologics, and comprehensive care.
- Holistic approaches like treating comorbid allergic conditions and lifestyle modifications are critical.
Conclusions:
- While a cure for asthma remains elusive, clinical remission is attainable.
- Integrated management of allergic airway diseases and lifestyle adjustments are vital for improving asthma control and achieving remission.
- Further research is needed to explore the possibility of an asthma cure.

01:25Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
446
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...

01:20Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
573
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.
