- 综合医学是一个整体的医学.
- 青少年健康 青少年健康
背景情况:
- 补充和替代医学 (CAM) 在儿科喘管理中很常见.
- 之前的研究强调,需要了解城市青少年群体中CAM患病率和感知有效性.
- 评估CAM的使用与喘严重程度和治疗坚持是全面护理的关键.
研究的目的:
- 评估CAM在患有喘的城市青少年中使用的流行率和感知有效性.
- 为了确定CAM使用是否与喘严重程度,喘控制和遵守处方喘药物的相关性.
- 更新以前关于CAM在这个人口群体中的使用的里程碑式研究的发现.
主要方法:
- 在纽约布朗克斯,对203名患有喘的青少年 (13-18岁) 进行了一项调查.
- 收集的数据包括CAM利用率,感知CAM有效性,处方遵守率和喘控制测试 (ACT) 成绩.
- 喘严重程度和处方数据是从电子健康记录中获得的;逻辑回归分析了关联.
主要成果:
- 82%的青少年报告使用至少一种形式的CAM治疗喘.
- 心身和自然产品是最常用的CAM疗法,具有高的感知效率 (81%).
- 使用CAM与控制喘没有显著的关联 (ACT得分),但处方遵守与使用CAM有很强的正相关性 (AOR:7.79).
结论:
- 在患有喘的城市青少年中,CAM使用仍然很普遍,类似于2002年的发现.
- 尽管CAM的有效性很高,但CAM的使用与改善的喘控制没有相关性.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
222
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...

Adrenergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses
712
Adrenergic agonists have diverse therapeutic uses across various medical conditions and emergencies.
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.
