Asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes inflammation of the airways and makes breathing difficult. It is caused by inherited genes, respiratory infections, and exposure to allergens or viruses. Over 22 million people in the US have asthma, including 6 million children, who are most at risk if they experience frequent wheezing when sick. Symptoms include coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Asthma is diagnosed through medical tests and is treated to prevent symptoms and control the disease with medicines.
Asthma
Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the airways, causing inflammation and narrowing. During an asthma attack, the muscles around the airways tighten, less air can flow through, and more mucus is produced, further narrowing the airways. Asthma attacks can range from mild to life-threatening. With effective management including medication and avoiding triggers, asthma can usually be controlled to allow normal activities. However, uncontrolled asthma can lead to missed school/work and inability to participate in some activities.
Dylan Presentation About Asthma
Asthma is a chronic disease that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, resulting in wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing, especially at night or in the morning. An asthma attack occurs when the bronchial tubes swell and close, preventing enough air from reaching the body. Most asthma cases are hereditary and caused by genes, though exposure to tobacco smoke or a low-income environment can also increase children's risk. Asthma affects 300 million people worldwide and causes 255,000 deaths each year.
Asthma
The lungs are made up of bronchi that branch into smaller bronchioles and terminate in alveoli where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. When the bronchi become inflamed or infected, it causes bronchitis which makes breathing difficult. Asthma is a chronic lung condition where the airways become inflamed, swollen and constricted due to triggers like allergens, irritants, weather changes and infections. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing and chest tightness. Asthma is diagnosed through breathing tests and treated with inhalers and other medications to reduce inflammation and relax the airways.
Asthma
Asthma is a respiratory disease marked by attacks of spasm in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty breathing that is usually connected to allergic reactions or hypersensitivity. Common symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness or pain, and chronic coughing. To help prevent asthma attacks, one should stay healthy, take medications as prescribed, get vaccinated, follow an action plan, monitor breathing, and breathe clean air.

Asthma is a common chronic disease, especially in children under 18, with over 23 million Americans affected. The majority of children with asthma develop symptoms by age 4-5. Common symptoms include coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, chest tightness and pain. If properly managed with medications and avoiding triggers, asthma flares can be prevented. While the exact cause is unknown, genetics and allergies may play a role in increased risk.
Asthma
The term asthma originates from the Greek word 'aazien', meaning panting or shortness of breath. Asthma was first described in the Greek epic poem The Iliad and was later defined as a medical term by Hippocrates. Asthma is a chronic disease that causes the airways to become inflamed and narrowed, making breathing difficult. Common symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. Triggers include dust, dust mites, cockroaches, animals, molds, and secondhand smoke. Diagnosis involves physical exams, lung function tests, and ruling out other conditions. Treatment focuses on avoiding triggers and using prescribed medications as directed.
Asthma Diagnosis
Your doctor will take your medical history, family history of asthma, do a physical exam listening to your breathing and looking for signs of asthma or allergies. They will also do lung function tests to check how your lungs are working and breathing tests. They may also do allergy skin tests to check for nasal allergies and give you medication to see if test results improve to help diagnose asthma.

Neural oscillations occur throughout the central nervous system and can be measured at different scales: microscopic (single neuron), mesoscopic (local groups of neurons), and macroscopic (between brain regions). At the microscopic level, neurons generate action potentials that form rhythmic spike trains. Groups of synchronized neurons give rise to local field potential oscillations. Interactions between brain areas also produce large-scale oscillations measured by EEG. Different neural oscillations are linked to cognitive functions like perception and memory.

The document discusses various topics related to biology including cells of the immune system, World Cancer Day, the molecule serotonin, and simple laboratory tools. It was written by Eman Youssef for a bio-club and touches on several biological concepts in a brief manner.
Alzheimerdisease and apoptosis
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills. It results from abnormal buildup of proteins in the brain that cause nerve cell death. Risk increases with age and family history. Symptoms start with mild memory loss and worsen over time, eventually causing severe brain damage. The only way to definitively diagnose is through brain autopsy. Currently, there is no cure and treatment focuses on managing symptoms and slowing progression.
Ideas
The document provides ideas for creating writing walls and tools for brainstorming sessions, including using wood, paper, sticky notes, foam boards, and sketch paper in various shapes. Low-cost suggestions involve using items like cans, balls, cards with quotes, and balloons to encourage participation and mark the closing of a session.
Nano technology and asthma
The document discusses a new nano-sensor developed by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh that could help people with asthma monitor their condition and detect oncoming asthma attacks. The portable sensor uses carbon nanotubes coated with a polymer to detect small amounts of nitric oxide in exhaled breath. Nitric oxide levels rise before asthma attacks, so the sensor could provide early warnings. It may also allow easier, more regular monitoring of symptoms to help patients and doctors manage treatment. The researchers hope to develop a handheld device incorporating the sensor to make monitoring asthma as convenient as checking blood sugar with a glucose monitor.
Role of different prostaglandins in asthma
Prostaglandins play an important role in asthma. PGEs are potent bronchodilators while PGFs are bronchoconstrictors. Low levels of PGE were found in asthmatic patients, suggesting PGE is involved in asthma pathogenesis. Evidence also shows prostaglandins can cause inflammation and influence other systems related to asthma like the sympathetic nervous system. Prostaglandins may regulate histamine release from cells and have anti-allergic effects. Studies found higher plasma PGF levels in asthmatic patients compared to normal or schistosomal patients without asthma.
Allergy
The document analyzes 279 patients who underwent allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASI) to determine if pretreatment parameters could predict clinical response. It found that a higher pre-treatment ratio of specific IgE to total IgE (>16.2) was significantly correlated with an effective clinical response to ASI. This s-IgE/t-IgE ratio had higher sensitivity and specificity than measuring specific IgE or total IgE levels alone in predicting response. The ratio may help predict response to ASI for certain allergens like grass, Parietaria judaica, Olea europea, and house dust mites.

In India, between 15-30 million people have asthma, making it the most common childhood disorder, with prevalence over 10% in children.
Therapeutic nutrition seminar
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that commonly affects premature infants who required oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation. It develops when the lungs of premature infants are damaged from excessive oxygen or pressure from ventilation devices. Infants with BPD may experience breathing difficulties, feeding problems, and delayed growth and development. Treatment focuses on providing oxygen support, nutrition, medications to open airways and prevent infections, and managing the underlying health conditions that contribute to BPD.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. June 2024 Oncology Cartoons By Dr Kanhu Charan Patro

Gene Expression System-viral gene delivery Mpharm(Pharamaceutics)
Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
