Treatment For Acute asthma attacks Diseases

Acute Asthma

An asthma attack should get treatment as soon as possible to open the airways. Drugs used to prevent disease are also used to treat asthma, but in higher doses or in a different form.

Receptor agonist beta-2 adrenergic is used in the form of inhalers (inhaled medications) or as a nebulizer (for shortness of breath very heavy). Nebulizer directs air or oxygen under pressure through a solution of the drug, resulting in a fog for inhaled by patients.

Treatment of asthma can also be done by giving injections of epinephrine or terbutaline and aminophylline under the skin (like theophylline) through intravenous infusion.

Patients who experience severe attacks and did not show improvement on other treatment, can get an injection of corticosteroids, usually administered intravenously (through the veins).

In severe asthma attacks usually low blood oxygen levels, so that given the additional oxygen. If there is dehydration, may need to be given fluids intravenously. If the suspected infection, given antibiotics.

Asthma Medicine

Asthma Medicine

Anti-asthma treatment can be done to treat asthma attack is happening or prevent asthma attacks do not occur. Treat it means eliminating the symptoms in the form of shortness, cough, or wheezing, not a total cure diseases suffered asthma.

With drugs, people with asthma can live normal lives. Medications are taken immediately to control the asthma attack is different from routine treatment to prevent asthma attacks. To treat asthma attack is going to eliminate the drug needed asthma symptoms immediately. The drug is composed of:

1. Group bronchodilators

Mean bronchodilator drugs that can dilate the airways by flexing the muscles of the airways that are shriveled.

2. Group corticosteroid system

Corticosteroids are anti-inflammation and allergy drug that is given systemically is distributed throughout the body via blood circulation.

There is a group of patients who often gets the attack, so that almost never experienced a period free of symptoms of asthma. The situation is called chronic because it can last for months and even years. Treatment requires a long time, and patients must take medication every day routine.

Asthma Maternal and Fetal Sex

Asthma Maternal and Fetal Sex

Difficult to connect between pregnant women who have asthma with the fetus gender. But researchers in Australia found that pregnant women with asthma will have more frequent asthma attacks when he gets a girl pregnant. The cause is unknown, allegedly a female fetus to produce a compound that can make asthma worse mother. Such as outlined in the American Thoracic Society conference in Florida.

Of the 118 pregnant women who have asthma, nearly 70% of male fetuses contained, free from asthma attacks during pregnancy. Containing the fetus was female, 61%, which is free of asthma up to 18 weeks of pregnancy, and only 28% are free of asthma at the age of 30 weeks. Asthma symptoms that occur at night as seen increased in pregnant women that contain a female fetus when the pregnancy was 18-30 weeks. Not so for those that contain male fetuses, are not having problems breathing problems at night.

Sports can be overcome porous bones

Handling of bone disorders, particularly bone loss, so far only focused on the problem of hormone and calcium alone. However, a recent study concluded that exercise has an important role to overcome the disease.

Osteoporosis (porous bones) is the process of bone degeneration. Regular exercise and enough is known not only build muscle, but also maintain and improve bone strength. Sports, drugs, and setting a good meal is a good combination to tackle the treatment of osteoporosis compared with eating alone or settings.

Those who exercise regularly know better bone density than those who are not physically active. Bone density levels are also associated with the burden of its activities. They are not physical activity would decrease bone density.

In another study, exercise load on the forearm are done by women menopause (53-74 years) can increase bone density 3.8% after five months of training, three times per week and once practiced 50 minutes.

Passive Smokers Fate

Passive Smokers Fate

Even non-smokers, cigarette smoke exposure on breast-feeding mothers and babies can still damage the health. Please note, if someone smokes, it means he just suck the smoke around 15% only, while 85% will be released and eventually inhaled by passive smokers. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that even nearly about 700 million children, or about half of all children in the world, including nursing baby at his mother, forced to suck the air that is polluted by tobacco smoke.

The content of nicotine in cigarettes would be quickly absorbed from the respiratory tract into the flow of maternal blood vessels and directly transferred into milk by diffusion. So if there are outsiders who smoke near the baby, then in addition to nicotine is absorbed from breast milk by mothers who are exposed to cigarette smoke, will also be absorbed directly through the small breathing air. Nicotine and other toxic substances of cigarette smoke going into the baby's airways. Nicotine accumulates in the body will eventually endanger the health of baby and toddler. Disorders in infants caused by cigarette smoke include vomiting, diarrhea, colic, heart rate increased, and others.
