The respiratory system allows for oxygen intake and carbon dioxide removal through a series of organs including the nose, mouth, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. It performs external respiration through gas exchange between the body and environment, and internal respiration through oxygen delivery to cells and carbon dioxide removal. Common respiratory illnesses include the common cold, influenza, asthma, sinusitis, whooping cough, rhinitis, bronchitis, pharyngitis, and pneumonia, which can be caused by bacteria or viruses and cause symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection of the lungs that spreads through cough-generated droplets and was an ancient disease with origins in 1550 BC.
Respiratory Infections
The document discusses respiratory tract infections, which are infectious diseases that involve the respiratory tract. Respiratory tract infections are classified as either upper respiratory tract infections, which affect areas above the vocal cords such as the nose and sinuses, or lower respiratory tract infections, which affect the lungs. Common upper respiratory infections include rhinitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, and sinusitis. Lower respiratory infections include pneumonia and bronchitis. Causes can be bacterial or viral. Symptoms may include cough, runny nose, sore throat, and fever. Treatment depends on whether the infection is bacterial or viral and may include antibiotics, antivirals, painkillers, and vaccines. Respiratory infections are a
Lower repiratory tract infection-ICD-10-CM
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs), which include pneumonia, lung abscess, and acute bronchitis, are caused by bacteria like streptococcus pneumoniae, viruses like influenza, and parasites. Common symptoms are shortness of breath, cough, fever, and fatigue. Treatment depends on the cause, with antibiotics used for bacterial infections but not viruses or parasites. Prevention involves vaccination against common pathogens. The document provides guidelines for ICD-10 codes related to classifying different respiratory diseases.

Acute respiratory diseases in children
This document discusses acute respiratory diseases in children. It covers the etiology, transmission, clinical signs, and treatment of acute respiratory diseases. The main points are:
1. Acute respiratory diseases are caused by viruses, bacteria, and other infectious agents. They commonly cause symptoms like cough, runny nose, and fever.
2. Viruses spread through the air or contact. Children under 3 are most susceptible due to lack of prior immunity.
3. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms like fever. Paracetamol and ibuprofen are generally safe and effective antipyretics. More severe cases may require anticonvulsants or lytic mixtures.
upper respiratory tract infection
Upper respiratory tract infections are caused by viruses or bacteria that infect the nose, sinuses, pharynx, or larynx. They include conditions like the common cold, sinusitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, and pharyngitis. A nurse will assess symptoms, check for signs of infection, monitor breathing, help clear secretions, manage pain, and educate patients on treatment plans and avoiding exacerbating factors. Proper nursing care is important for relieving symptoms and supporting healing from upper respiratory infections.
Pneumonia
This document discusses respiratory tract infections, specifically pneumonia. It defines pneumonia as an acute inflammation of the lung parenchyma. Common causes are bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and viruses. Symptoms include fever, cough, chest pain, and breathlessness. Diagnosis involves chest x-ray, sputum and blood cultures. Treatment involves antibiotics, oxygen, hydration and nutrition. Nursing care focuses on airway clearance, breathing exercises, pain management and patient education.
Upper respiratory tract bacterial infections 12 march 18
This document discusses bacterial infections of the upper respiratory tract. It begins by listing the major bacteria that can cause infections in different parts of the upper respiratory tract, including Streptococcus pyogenes, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. It then focuses on streptococcal sore throat and diphtheria, describing the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of infections caused by these bacteria. Complications like rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis that can arise from untreated streptococcal infections are also outlined. The document emphasizes the importance of diagnosing and treating group A streptococcal pharyngitis.
Upper Respiratory Infections
1) Upper respiratory tract infections are very common and cause significant illness and costs. The nose, mouth and throat are exposed to viruses and normally harbor bacteria that can cause infection when barriers are compromised.
2) The common cold is usually self-limiting and caused by rhinoviruses, though other viruses can also cause cold symptoms. It is a major cause of illness.
3) Acute bacterial sinusitis occurs when viral infection blocks sinus drainage, allowing bacteria like streptococcus pneumoniae to infect the sinuses. Symptoms include nasal congestion and facial pain.
Upper respiratory infections in children
Upper respiratory infections are very common in children and are usually caused by viruses. The most frequent types are the common cold, acute pharyngitis (sore throat), sinusitis, and ear infections. Cough associated with an upper respiratory infection can last 1-3 weeks on average and 10% of children may still be coughing after 4 weeks. Recurrent infections are also common in children due to their developing immune systems. Accurate diagnosis of conditions like sinusitis and ear infections can be challenging but is important for guiding appropriate treatment.
Respiratory tract infections
This document discusses various respiratory tract infections that affect the upper and lower respiratory tract. The upper respiratory tract infections discussed include the common cold, sinusitis, rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngotracheobronchitis, epiglottitis, influenza, and inhalation of foreign bodies. Lower respiratory tract infections mentioned include bronchitis, COPD, sleep disorders, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, chronic cough, lung transplantation, asthma, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. The document then focuses on providing more details on the common cold, seasonal allergic rhinitis, perennial rhinitis, and nasal polyps.
4 diseases o f the bronchi
This document discusses diseases of the bronchi, including acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis. Acute bronchitis involves inflammation of the large and medium bronchi caused by various microorganisms or irritants. Clinical signs include cough, nasal discharge, fever, increased pulse and respiration, and lung rales. Treatment focuses on rest, steam inhalation, antibiotics, and supportive care. Chronic bronchitis is a long-term inflammation of the bronchial mucosa that can develop from acute bronchitis or long-term lung infections or irritants. It has similar but less severe clinical signs. Treatment is also similar but may include potassium iodide to thin secretions.
2.respiratory infections
The document discusses various respiratory infections including upper and lower respiratory tract infections. It covers topics such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung abscess, and bronchiectasis. Pneumonia can be lobar or bronchopneumonia and is classified based on clinical setting, organism, and morphology. Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium and presents as a chronic infection characterized by granulomas and tissue necrosis. Complications of respiratory infections include abscesses, bronchiectasis, and spread to other organs.
Respiratory tract infections (Upper and Lower)
This document discusses respiratory tract infections, specifically focusing on infections of the upper respiratory tract. It defines otitis media as an inflammation of the middle ear and describes its three subtypes. Otitis media is common, especially in young children, and can be caused by bacteria like Streptococcus pneumoniae that enter the middle ear following a viral upper respiratory infection. Symptoms include ear pain, fever, and hearing loss. The document also discusses acute bacterial rhinosinusitis, noting that it is commonly caused by the same bacteria as otitis media and that differentiating between viral and bacterial infections is important to avoid overprescribing antibiotics.
Upper respiratory infections
This document discusses upper respiratory tract infections, including their anatomy, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. The upper respiratory tract includes the nose, throat, larynx, and trachea. Infections in this area are very common and are usually caused by viruses like the common cold virus. Symptoms include cough, runny nose, sore throat, and difficulty swallowing. Specific infections discussed include rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, and laryngitis. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms, with antibiotics only used for bacterial infections. Nursing care involves education on medication use, humidification, avoiding irritants and rest.
Bronchitis powerpoint
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchioles, or airways, in the lungs. There are two main types: acute bronchitis, which lasts less than two weeks and is usually caused by infection, and chronic bronchitis, which lasts longer and is often caused by long-term smoking. Acute bronchitis causes symptoms like coughing, phlegm, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Chronic bronchitis can lead to permanent lung damage in long-term smokers and is treated with bronchodilators and pulmonary rehabilitation. Bronchitis is diagnosed through chest x-rays, sputum tests, and pulmonary function tests.
Bronchitis
Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchial tubes caused by viruses, bacteria, or other irritants. It can be acute, lasting a few weeks, or chronic, characterized by a long-term productive cough. Symptoms include cough, mucus production, shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest discomfort. Treatment depends on the cause but may include antibiotics, cough medicine, bronchodilators, mucolytics, or steroids. Lifestyle changes like quitting smoking and avoiding pollution can help prevent bronchitis.
Pneumonia
The document presents information on pneumonia from Shahriar Jaman Antar of the World University of Bangladesh. It defines pneumonia as an infection of the lungs that causes difficulty breathing. Pneumonia can range from mild to life-threatening, especially for young children, older adults, and those with weak immune systems. The types of pneumonia are described as hospital-acquired, community-acquired, and ventilator-associated. Diagnosis involves tests like chest x-rays and treatment focuses on fever control, increasing fluid intake, rest, and avoiding smoke to aid recovery.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
