Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. For some people, asthma is a minor nuisance.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders COPD is a [preventable and treatable disease with some significant extra pulmonary effects that may contribute to the severity in individual clients.
It is characterized by airflow limitation that is not completely reversible.

Peptic ulcers are sores that develop in the lining of the stomach, lower esophagus, or small intestine. They're usually formed as a result of inflammation caused by the bacteria H. pylori, as well as from erosion from stomach acids. Peptic ulcers are a fairly common health problem.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic, irreversible dilation of the bronchi and bronchioles. Or •Bronchiectasis is characterized by permanent, abnormal dilation of one or more large bronchBronchiectasis.
Angina also known as angina pectoris is a medical condition characterized by chest pain usually left sided due to inadequate blood supply (ischemia) to the heart muscles due to obstruction (like presence of blood clot), narrowing or contraction (vasospasm) of the supplying coronary arteries.
Lung abscess is a type of liquefactive necrosis of the lung tissue and formation of cavities (more than 2 cm) containing necrotic debris or fluid caused by microbial infection.
Heart failure (HF) is a common cardiovascular condition with increasing incidence and prevalence. Unlike western countries where heart failure is predominantly a disease of elderly, in India it affects younger age group. Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood and oxygen to support other organs in your body.

A neurological examination is the assessment of sensory neuron and motor responses, especially reflexes, to determine whether the nervous system is impaired. This typically includes a physical examination and a review of the patient's medical history, but not deeper investigation such as neuroimaging.
First aid is the first and immediate assistance given to any person with either a minor or serious illness or injury, with care provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, or to promote recovery.
Nurse Managers are required to be aware of the techniques that can help them ensure effective management of educational/service unit. Communication is one of the most important activities in the nursing management. It is the foundation upon which the manager achieves organizational objectives.
Communication is a process of change. In order to achieve the desired result, the communication necessarily is effective and purposive.
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lowest part of your rectum and anus. Sometimes, the walls of these blood vessels stretch so thin that the veins bulge and get irritated, especially when you poop. Hemorrhoids are also called piles.
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is the pre-eminent resuscitation course for the recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies.
Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that can form in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ on the right side of your abdomen, just beneath the liver. The gallbladder holds a digestive fluid called bile that's released into the small intestine.
Pancreatitis is inflammation in the pancreas. The pancreas is a long, flat gland that sits tucked behind the stomach in the upper abdomen. The pancreas produces enzymes that help digestion and hormones that help regulate the way your body processes sugar (glucose).
Cirrhosis is a late stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the liver caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions, such as hepatitis and chronic alcoholism.
The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. It permits movement of the body, maintains posture and circulates blood throughout the body.
The female reproductive system is made up of the internal and external sex organs that function in reproduction of new offspring. In humans, the female reproductive system is immature at birth and develops to maturity at puberty to be able to produce gametes, and to carry a fetes to full term.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease. It causes irritation, inflammation, and ulcers in the lining of your large intestine (also called your colon). There's no cure, and people usually have symptoms off and on for life
The ear is the organ of hearing and, in mammals, balance. In mammals, the ear is usually described as having three parts the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. The outer ear consists of the pinna and the ear canal.
The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth of most vertebrates that manipulates food for mastication and is used in the act of swallowing. It has importance in the digestive system and is the primary organ of taste in the gustatory system.
Human ear, organ of hearing and equilibrium that detects and analyzes sound by transduction (or the conversion of sound waves into electrochemical impulses) and maintains the sense of balance (equilibrium).
The human eye is an organ that reacts to light in many circumstances. As a conscious sense organ the human eye allows vision; rod and cone cells in the retina allow conscious light perception and vision, including color differentiation and the perception of depth. The human eye can distinguish about 10 million colors.
The integumentary system is an organ system consisting of the skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands. The skin is only a few millimeters thick yet is by far the largest organ in the body. The average person's skin weighs 10 pounds and has a surface area of almost 20 square feet.
Immunity can be defined as a complex biological system endowed with the capacity to recognize and tolerate whatever belongs to the self, and to recognize and reject what is foreign.
The excretory system is a passive biological system that removes excess, unnecessary materials from the body fluids of an organism, so as to help maintain internal chemical homeostasis and prevent damage to the body.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. DEFINITION:
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the
airways. The chronic inflammation causes an
increase in the airway hyper-responsiveness that
leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing,
breathlessness, chest tightness and cough,
particularly at night or early in morning.
3.
4.
5. INCIDENCE:
• Asthma affects an estimated 25,00,000 Indians every
year and this number is likely to increase by 50% by the
year 2016.
• Among adults women have a 30% greater prevalence of
asthma than men.
10. Occupational exposures:
1) Metal salts.
2)Wood and vegetable dusts.
3) Industrial chemicals and plastics.
Food addictives.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease.
11. TYPES OF ASTHMA:
• ALLERGIC ASTHMA(extrinsic asthma): When the
symptoms are induced by a hyperimmune response to
the inhalation of specific allergen.
• Type I (Immediate) hypersensitivity reaction is the basis
of the IgE.
12. • NON-ALLERGGIC ASTHMA (Intrinsic asthma) : This
type of asthma is triggered by the presence of irritants in
the air that are not related to allergies.
• This irritants stimulate parasympathetic nerve fibers in
the airways causing broncho-constriction and
inflammation.
13. • MIXED ASTHMA: Mixed asthma is the combination of
both allergic and non-allergic asthma.This is the most
common form of asthma.
14. • COUGH- VARIANT ASTHMA: This does not have the
classic symptoms of asthma- such as wheezing and
shortness of breath. Instead It is characterized by one
symptom, a persistent dry cough
• EXERCISE INDUCED ASTHMA: Affects the person
during or after physical activity.
15. • NOCTURNAL ASTHMA: Characterized by symptoms
that gets worsen at night. Those who suffer from
nocturnal asthma can also experience symptoms any
time of day.
• OCCUPATIONAL ASTHMA: Induced by triggers that
exists in person’s workplace including textiles, farming
and wood working.
16. CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS:
• Wheezing.
• Dyspnoea.
• Cough.
• Chest tightness.
• Expiration may be prolonged.
• Secretions may be white, thick, tenacious, gelatinous
mucus.
17. DIAGNOSTIC STUDIES:
• History.
• Physical examination.
• PFT.
• Peak expiratory flow rate.
• Chest X-ray.
• ABG or oximetry.
• Allergy skin testing.
• Blood level of eosinophils
and IgE.
20. DRUGTHERAPY:
•Long term control medicines to achieve
and maintain control of persistent asthma.
Anti-inflammatory drugs
Corticosteroids
Bronchodilators
Long acting β2 – adrenergic agonists
Theophylline
21. •Quick relief medicines to treat symptoms and
exacerbations.
Bronchodilators.
Short acting inhaled β2 – adrenergic
agonists.
Anticholinergics
Corticosteroids.
22. PATIENTTEACHING RELATEDTO
DRUGTHERAPY:
•Should include the name, dosage, method of
administration and schedule, taking into
consideration meal times and activities of daily
living.
•Include purpose, side effects, appropriate action
if side effects occur, consequences of improper
use, and the importance of refilling the
prescription before the medicines runs out.
24. NURSING DIAGNOSIS:
• Ineffective airway clearance related to expiratory airflow
obstruction, ineffective cough, decreased airway humidity
and infection in airway as evidenced by absence or decreased
breath sound.
• Imbalanced nutrition less than body requirement related to
poor appetite, lowered energy level, shortness of breath as
evidenced by weight loss.
25. • Disturbed sleeping pattern related to anxiety, dyspnoea
as evidenced by frequent awakening, prolonged onset of
sleep, lethargy, fatigue, irritability.
• Risk for infection related to decreased pulmonary
function, possible corticosteroid therapy and lack of
knowledge regarding signs and symptoms of infection
and preventive measures.
26. RESEARCH STUDY
• The study was published in the Journal of Allergy and
Clinical Immunology. vitamin D was a molecule that
may influence asthma by impacting antioxidant or
immune-related pathways. Having low blood
vitamin D levels was found to be associated with
harmful respiratory effects of indoor air pollution
from sources such as cigarette smoke, cooking,
burning of candles, and incense, among children
with asthma. Interestingly, in homes that had the
highest indoor air pollution, those who happened to
have higher blood vitamin D levels were associated
with fewer asthma symptoms
28. CONCLUSION
• Eating fish oil, rich in omega 3 fatty acids, could help
reduce the risk by nearly 70 per cent. Fish oil is dubbed as
one of the healthiest foods you can add to your diet. It is
enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) or n-3
and contains omega fatty acids 3 and 6, which is known
to play a crucial role in brain development and facilitate
functioning of central nervous system.
