Common abbreviations are PEFR and PFR.Weather: The state of the ATMOSPHERE over minutes to months.Administration, Inhalation: The administration of drugs by the respiratory route. It includes insufflation into the respiratory tract.Puerto Rico: An island in the Greater Antilles in the West Indies. Its capital is San Juan. It is a self-governing commonwealth in union with the United States. It was discovered by Columbus in 1493 but no colonization was attempted until 1508. It belonged to Spain until ceded to the United States in 1898. It became a commonwealth with autonomy in internal affairs in 1952. Columbus named the island San Juan for St. John's Day, the Monday he arrived, and the bay Puerto Rico, rich harbor. The island became Puerto Rico officially in 1932. (From Webster's New Geographical Dictionary, 1988, p987 & Room, Brewer's Dictionary of Names, 1992, p436)Respiratory Sounds: Noises, normal and abnormal, heard on auscultation over any part of the RESPIRATORY TRACT.Allergens: Antigen-type substances that produce immediate hypersensitivity (HYPERSENSITIVITY, IMMEDIATE).ParisForced Expiratory Volume: Measure of the maximum amount of air that can be expelled in a given number of seconds during a FORCED VITAL CAPACITY determination . It is usually given as FEV followed by a subscript indicating the number of seconds over which the measurement is made, although it is sometimes given as a percentage of forced vital capacity.Nebulizers and Vaporizers: Devices that cause a liquid or solid to be converted into an aerosol (spray) or a vapor. It is used in drug administration by inhalation, humidification of ambient air, and in certain analytical instruments.Adrenal Cortex HormonesAcute Disease: Disease having a short and relatively severe course.Nitrogen Dioxide: Nitrogen oxide (NO2). A highly poisonous gas. Exposure produces inflammation of lungs that may only cause slight pain or pass unnoticed, but resulting edema several days later may cause death.

(From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp814-6)Asthma, Exercise-Induced: Asthma attacks following a period of exercise. Usually the induced attack is short-lived and regresses spontaneously. The magnitude of postexertional airway obstruction is strongly influenced by the environment in which exercise is performed (i.e. inhalation of cold air during physical exertion markedly augments the severity of the airway obstruction; conversely, warm humid air blunts or abolishes it).Seasons: Divisions of the year according to some regularly recurrent phenomena usually astronomical or climatic. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed)Emergency Service, Hospital: Hospital department responsible for the administration and provision of immediate medical or surgical care to the emergency patient.Glucocorticoids: A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity.

It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.Epidemiologic Methods: Research techniques that focus on study designs and data gathering methods in human and animal populations.Age Distribution: The frequency of different ages or age groups in a given population. The distribution may refer to either how many or what proportion of the group.

It is hydrolyzed by ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE at a considerably slower rate than ACETYLCHOLINE and is more resistant to hydrolysis by nonspecific CHOLINESTERASES so that its actions are more prolonged. It is used as a parasympathomimetic bronchoconstrictor agent and as a diagnostic aid for bronchial asthma. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1116)Retrospective Studies: Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.Rhinitis, Allergic, Perennial: Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose similar to that found in hay fever except that symptoms persist throughout the year. The causes are usually air-borne allergens, particularly dusts, feathers, molds, animal fur, etc.Physician's Practice Patterns: Patterns of practice related to diagnosis and treatment as especially influenced by cost of the service requested and provided.Spirometry: Measurement of volume of air inhaled or exhaled by the lung.BrazilBudesonide: A glucocorticoid used in the management of ASTHMA, the treatment of various skin disorders, and allergic RHINITIS.Eosinophils: Granular leukocytes with a nucleus that usually has two lobes connected by a slender thread of chromatin, and cytoplasm containing coarse, round granules that are uniform in size and stainable by eosin.Bronchi: The larger air passages of the lungs arising from the terminal bifurcation of the TRACHEA.

It contains MUCUS, cellular debris, and microorganisms. It may also contain blood or pus.Mites: Any arthropod of the subclass ACARI except the TICKS. They are minute animals related to the spiders, usually having transparent or semitransparent bodies. They may be parasitic on humans and domestic animals, producing various irritations of the skin (MITE INFESTATIONS). Many mite species are important to human and veterinary medicine as both parasite and vector. Mites also infest plants.Cough: A sudden, audible expulsion of air from the lungs through a partially closed glottis, preceded by inhalation. It is a protective response that serves to clear the trachea, bronchi, and/or lungs of irritants and secretions, or to prevent aspiration of foreign materials into the lungs.Migraine Disorders: A class of disabling primary headache disorders, characterized by recurrent unilateral pulsatile headaches. The two major subtypes are common migraine (without aura) and classic migraine (with aura or neurological symptoms). (International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd ed. Cephalalgia 2004: suppl 1)Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid: Washing liquid obtained from irrigation of the lung, including the BRONCHI and the PULMONARY ALVEOLI.

  • According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , seven million children in the U.S. have asthma (about nine percent), and the rate has been climbing steadily in recent years. (foxnews.com)
  • Fewer children are having asthma attacks, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) . (healthline.com)
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that about 10 percent of children had asthma in 2009. (emaxhealth.com)
  • According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are over 6 million children under the age of 18 living with asthma. (yahoo.com)
  • In fact, the number of kids with asthma who had one or more asthma attacks in the past year dropped from nearly 62 percent in 2001 to about 54 percent in 2016, according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (doctorslounge.com)

Steroids21
  • Doctors say steroids can help to treat the underlying lung inflammation associated with the condition, but they add that better drugs are needed to treat asthma attacks. (newscientist.com)
  • Another finding was that vitamin D supplementation reduced the rate of asthma attacks needing treatment with oral steroids. (healthcentral.com)
  • Obesity has been demonstrated to increase asthma risk, and one of the most significant effects of obesity in asthma is that it seems to impair response to steroids (a hallmark treatment in asthma). (healthcentral.com)
  • However, generally the amount of steroid in standard dosages for asthma patients is not high enough to result in a positive test for steroids in athletics. (health-care-information.org)
  • That report, of which Dr. Lazarus was a co-author, found that once asthma was controlled by inhaled steroids and long-acting beta agonists, most patients tested could cut their steroid dose in half with no increase in asthma problems. (nytimes.com)
  • Serious asthma attacks in adults can be reduced by a temporary but significant increase in the dose of inhaled steroids during severe episodes of asthma, according to a new UK-wide study led by experts at the University of Nottingham. (nottingham.ac.uk)
  • Previous research at the University has found that doubling the dose of inhaled steroids during worsening asthma did not prevent the frequency of serious attacks, so this new NIHR-funded clinical trial was set up to see if quadrupling the dose had a more beneficial effect. (nottingham.ac.uk)
  • But they also need to take their controller medications including inhaled steroids which prevent asthma attacks, Oyefara said. (yourlawyer.com)
  • Dr. John Mills MD - "Conventional drugs used for treating asthma, particularly steroids, can impair immune function and lead to more serious health problems. (shirleys-wellness-cafe.com)
  • There were some things we expected beforehand, like that oral therapies would be inferior to inhaled steroids, but asthma is a very individual disease and some patients will not experience any symptoms, and other patients will suffer a lot from the symptoms," lead author Dr. Rik Loijmans, from the Academic Medical Center at the University of Amsterdam, was quoted as saying . (drugstorenews.com)
  • Half of all asthma patients will at some point have an attack that needs treating with oral steroids such as prednisolone , while a quarter will end up in hospital emergency departments. (theguardian.com)
  • Quadrupling the dose of inhaled steroids temporarily when asthma control begins to deteriorate could reduce the risk of a severe asthma attack. (pulsetoday.co.uk)
  • This finding follows previous research from the university, which found that doubling the dose of inhaled steroids during worsening asthma did not prevent the frequency of serious attacks. (pulsetoday.co.uk)
  • Since standard 'Asthma Action Plan' includes increasing the dose of inhaled steroids at first signs of an exacerbation or URTI, I am not sure of the merit of a control group which did not follow this basic response. (pulsetoday.co.uk)
  • Steroids are the main treatments for asthma prescribed now, but they are not effective for all patients. (healthcanal.com)
  • In addition, medications -- such as inhaled steroids -- can prevent most asthma attacks. (doctorslounge.com)
  • Corticosteroids, which are often just known as steroids, are commonly prescribed when people with asthma have an asthma attack, a flare-up of their symptoms. (cochrane.org)
  • Although we know that steroids are very effective for treating asthma attacks, we also know that many people experience unpleasant side effects, such as nausea, insomnia and changes in their mood. (cochrane.org)
  • We wanted to find out whether there was evidence about the dose or length of a course of oral steroids for asthma attacks that would ensure that people with asthma get better without experiencing too many side effects. (cochrane.org)
  • With these problems in mind, we have to conclude that the current evidence is not strong enough to reveal whether shorter or lower-dose courses of steroids work less well for asthma attacks than longer or higher-dose courses, or if longer or higher dose courses cause more side effects. (cochrane.org)
  • Therefore, any changes to the way in which asthma attacks are currently managed with oral steroids would need to be supported by larger studies than have been conducted so far. (cochrane.org)

  • Vitamin D pills can halve the risk of serious asthma attacks according to a major review of research into the impact the supplements have on the condition. (theguardian.com)
  • An international team spearheaded by researchers from the University of Copenhagen has identified the genes that put some children at particularly high risk of serious asthma attacks, including one not previously suspected of being implicated in the disease. (bio-medicine.org)

  • For this reason, Sebastian Johnston at Imperial College London, UK, and colleagues tested telithromycin, a relatively new type of antibiotic made by Sanofi-Aventis, in 278 adults with asthma. (newscientist.com)
  • A team, led by Faith S. Luyster, PhD, University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing, examined the links between sleep duration, patient-reported outcomes, and healthcare use in adults with asthma. (consultantlive.com)
  • While research points to insufficient and excessive sleep duration as major contributors to adverse effects on health, there is little known about the impact of sleep duration on health outcomes specifically in adults with asthma. (consultantlive.com)
  • The investigators found 1389 adults with asthma, 26% of which reported sleep duration, 66% of which reported normal sleep duration, and 8% of which reported long sleep duration. (consultantlive.com)

Visits5
  • So, if your child has asthma, regular doctor visits are a must. (healthcommunities.com)
  • The study found that nine to 23 million annual asthma emergency room (ER) visits globally (8 to 20 per cent of total global asthma ER visits) may be triggered by ozone, a pollutant generated when car, power plant and other types of emissions interact with sunlight. (indianexpress.com)
  • Although the air in the US is relatively clean compared to South and East Asian countries, ozone and particulate matter were estimated to contribute 8 to 21 per cent and 3 to 11 per cent of asthma ER visits in the US, respectively, they said. (indianexpress.com)
  • The baseline figure of 18.7 asthma visits was an average of statistics from a two-year period before the trial. (futurity.org)
  • But, the rate of asthma visits probably would have started climbing if the tax had not been made permanent. (futurity.org)
Exacerbation2
  • In individuals with asthma, statins may modulate the immune response to rhinovirus, which can potentially affect the risk of a viral-induced asthma exacerbation. (medindia.net)
  • The primary outcome asthma symptom scores were mean (SD), 4.14 at exacerbation and 2.09 at 10 days for the azithromycin group and 4.18 and 2.20 for the placebo group, respectively. (physiciansweekly.com)
