Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

1.4K
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.

Pulmonary Hypertension: Classification and Pathogenesis

671
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe health condition in which the mean pulmonary arterial pressure increases to 25 mmHg or more, even when the body is at rest. This high pressure in the blood vessels that transport blood from the heart to the lungs can cause various symptoms, including shortness of breath, can lead to right heart failure, and significantly affect the overall quality of life.
There are various classifications for PH, each relating to different underlying causes and also...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Immunology
  • Corneal Diseases

Background:

  • Peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) is a sight-threatening corneal disorder.
  • It often indicates underlying systemic autoimmune or vasculitic diseases.
  • PUK can lead to severe morbidity or mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize current knowledge on PUK pathophysiology, presentation, diagnosis, and management.
  • To focus on idiopathic forms like Mooren's ulcer.
  • To explore immunological mechanisms driving corneal destruction.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review on PUK.
  • Exploration of immunological pathways involved in peripheral corneal destruction.
  • Classification of PUK etiologies.
  • Review of diagnostic and management strategies.

Main Results:

  • Immunological mechanisms include complement activation, matrix metalloproteinases, and immune dysregulation.
  • Etiologies range from systemic autoimmune diseases to infections and iatrogenic causes.
  • A stepladder management approach is recommended.

Conclusions:

  • PUK requires a thorough diagnostic workup to identify underlying systemic conditions.
  • Management involves a stepwise approach from local therapies to systemic immunosuppression and surgery.
  • Understanding PUK pathophysiology is key to effective treatment and sight preservation.
