Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification

4.1K
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:

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview

626
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...

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

1.2K
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-I: Introduction

3.4K
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...

Allergic Drug Reactions

1.3K
Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

Summary

Individuals with allergic rhinitis (AR) show higher high-frequency hearing thresholds, particularly at 4000Hz and 8000Hz. Brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) did not reveal significant differences, suggesting AR impacts peripheral hearing.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Allergy Immunology

Background:

  • Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common condition affecting the upper airways.
  • Potential impacts of AR on auditory function are not fully understood.
  • Investigating auditory thresholds and brainstem function in AR is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare auditory thresholds and brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) between individuals with and without allergic rhinitis (AR).
  • To synthesize existing evidence on the relationship between AR and hearing function.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search across major databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, etc.).
  • Inclusion of observational studies comparing auditory outcomes in individuals with and without AR.
  • Meta-analysis of auditory thresholds (250Hz-8000Hz) and BERA parameters (wave latencies, interpeak intervals) using a random effects model.

Main Results:

  • Five studies involving 432 participants were included in the meta-analysis.
  • Significantly higher auditory thresholds were observed in individuals with AR at 4000Hz (MD = 7.83 dB) and 8000Hz (MD = 8.66 dB).
  • No significant differences in auditory thresholds below 4000Hz or in BERA outcomes were found between groups.

Conclusions:

  • Allergic rhinitis is associated with elevated high-frequency auditory thresholds, suggesting a peripheral auditory system effect.
  • No consistent impact of AR on brainstem auditory pathway function (BERA) was identified.
  • Findings indicate that AR may affect high-frequency hearing sensitivity without compromising neural conduction at the brainstem level.
