Asthma: Grundlagen — Diagnostik — Therapie
by Gerhard Schultze-Werninghaus M. DebelicDas Interesse an pulmonalen Erkrankungen, besonders an Asthma, hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren in erheblichem Maße verstärkt, bedingt durch Hinweise auf eine zunehmende Häufigkeit derartiger Krankheitsbilder und durch die Annahme eines Zusammenhanges mit den Umweltbedingungen in der Industriegesellschaft. Asthma ist eine vielschichtige Krankheit - Ätiologie, Pathophysiologie, Klinik und Befunde sind uneinheitlich - die in der verfügbaren Literatur in unterschiedlicher Weise abgehandelt wird. In diesem Buch beschreiben 26 Autoren das Krankheitsbild Asthma unter dem aktuellen Gesichtpunkt der Entzündung der Atemwege und der daraus resultierenden Hyperreagibilität. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der nervösen und neurohumoralen Regulation, den Grundlagen der Hyperreagibilität sowie Diagnostik und Therapie. Das Buch ist sowohl für den niedergelassenen Arzt als auch den Krankenhausarzt eine umfassende Informationsquelle über das aktuelle Krankheitsbild.

Asthma And Beyond
by Dr Paul SherwoodAfter helping thousands of people with back and heart problems, Doctor Sherwood deals with more ailments - from the small but irritating symptoms of colds to the life-threatening diseases such as appendicitis. Having studied the human lymphatic system for most of his life Paul Sherwood has come to the conclusion that many of our afflictions are rooted in blockages and malfunctions of this vital but over-looked fluid network. Using case histories from his long experience as an eminent West-End physician he illustrates his theories with proven examples - explaining the causes of symptoms in simple terms and the means by which they were relieved. The book concentrates on preventative measures and especially in children where catarrh, ear and throat trouble can cause such misery. There is also an emphasis of this theory in the treatment of Asthma, the bane of modern urban life - with diet, exercise and environmental considerations all playing an important part in health recovery. His original theories on preventing cot-death, asthma, arthritis, sinusitis etc. have already cured his patients - this book will help many more suffers.
Asthma and Bronchitis
by Jan De VriesIt is clear that asthma and bronchitis are on the increase, especially in Britain, and there are strong indications that this rise may be linked to atmospheric influences. Jan de Vries has over 30 years' experience of treating these conditions and in this important title in the By Appointment Only series he sets out his own ideas about respiratory disorders. He shows, for example, how many allergic reactions can result in asthma-related problems, hay-fever being a case in point. Viruses, bacteria and irritants may result in dry coughs, mucus formation, breathlessness, muscle pain and even light fever, depression and sometimes emphysema. Emphysema is known to be incurable, but Jan de Vries shows his treatments can bring welcome relief.

Asthma Care in the Community
by Jill WaldronWritten by nurses for nurses, Asthma Care in the Community emphasizes the "back to basics" approach, which is often forgotten in a high technology healthcare system. The book covers epidemiology, including prevalence, morbidity, and mortality; the economic and social burden of asthma; the pathology and pathophysiology of asthma; managing patients with asthma, both pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically; managing uncomplicated asthma, right through to the more complex issues surrounding acute episodes and "difficult to manage" situations.
Asthma, COPD, and Overlap: A Case-Based Overview of Similarities and Differences
by Jonathan A. Bernstein Louis-Philippe Boulet Michael E. Wechsler, MD,MMScUsing illustrative case examples, this book thoroughly reviews similarities and differences between asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the overlap syndrome. It is important to highlight the distinctions because these commonly encountered conditions in respiratory and primary care share many similarities but have important differences often mistaken for each other. This can have serious implications for treatment, particularly as new treatments are targeted at specific phenotypes of the diseases. This practical guide shows how to distinguish between the diseases on a pathological and clinical basis so that appropriate management and treatment may be pursued.

Asthma Education: Principles and Practice for the Asthma Educator
by Ian Mitchell Gaynor GoviasThis book comprehensively presents all the necessary information health professionals need to become Certified Asthma Educators. Competent asthma educators must possess a number of skills: they must have appropriate and sound medical and pharmaceutical knowledge; be proficient and effective educators who can influence their patients’ behaviors for the better; and, finally, they need the administrative and organizational skills needed to set up and run efficient clinics at their places of work. The book is divided into three sections to meet those needs: Asthma: The Fundamentals; The Role of Education; and, The Effective Asthma Educator. The first section covers clinical knowledge of asthma, with chapters including lung structure and function, clinical presentation of asthma, and environmental issues in asthma management. The second section delves into the role of educating patients and teaches readers how to best do that with an integrated approach between physician, educator, and patient. The third section looks further into educating techniques with a view of the learning process, considerations for instruction locations, and the role the educator plays overall. The final chapter in the book presents example cases for readers to assess the knowledge they have learned throughout. This second edition serves as both textbook and study guide for certification as well as a long-term reference publication. It has been fully updated from the previous edition with the latest treatment guidelines, medications, and disease monitoring methods. This is an ideal guide for asthma educators, those seeking NAECB certification, and any health professional involved with individuals who have asthma.
Asthma: Epidemiology, Anti-Inflammatory Therapy and Future Trends (Respiratory Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy)
by Brian J. O’Connor Mark A. Giembycz1. 1. Invasive versus Non-Invasive Clinical Measurements in Medicine Clinical measurement has become an essential complement to traditional physical diagnosis. An ideal clinical measurement should be quantitative, have a high level of reliability and accuracy, be safe, acceptable to the patient, easy to perform and non-invasive. The latter demands that the technique should not break the skin or the lining epithelium and should be devoid of effects on the tissues of the body by the dissipation of energy or the introduction of infection [1]. It is therefore logical that for a given measurement, a non-invasive test will be preferred if it provides the same information with the same accuracy and precision. In the following sections, we will discuss the role of various non-invasive or relatively non-invasive methods to assess airway inflammation in asthma and concentrate on the only direct method of induced sputum examination. 1. 2. Why Is Assessment of Airway Inflammation Important in Asthma? Inflammation is a localized protective response elicited by injury or destruc tion of tissues which serves to destroy, dilute or wall off both the injurious agent and the injured tissue [2]. The role of inflammation in asthma was rec ognized long ago. In his textbook The Principles and Practice of Medicine, in 1892, Sir William Osler described "bronchial asthma . . . in many cases is a spe cial form of inflammation of the smaller bronchioles . . .
