Wikipedia Asthma
Asthma is characterized by a predisposition to chronic inflammation of the lungs in which the airways (bronchi) are reversibly narrowed. Asthma affects 7% of the population of the United States,Merck Manual Home EditionMerck Manual Professional Edition 6.5% of British people and a total of 300 million worldwide.http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/360/10/1002 Asthma, Christopher H. Fanta, N Engl J Med, 360:1002-1014, March 5, 2009 During asthma attacks (exacerbations of asthma), the smooth muscle cells in the bronchi constrict, the airways become inflamed and swollen, and breathing becomes difficult.
Asthma causes 4,000 deaths a year in the United States. Medicines such as inhaled short-acting beta-2 agonists may be used to treat acute attacks. Attacks can also be prevented by avoiding triggering factors such as allergens or rapid temperature changes and through drug treatment such as inhaled corticosteroids and then long-acting beta-2 agonists if necessary.AAAAI article on avoiding asthma symptomsSection in "The Asthma Sourcebook" discussing air temperature and asthma symptoms Leukotriene antagonists are less effective than corticosteroids, but have no side effects. Monoclonal antibodies, such as mepolizumab and omalizumab, are sometimes effective. Prognosis is good with treatment.
In contrast to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic bronchitis, the inflammation of asthma is reversible. In contrast to emphysema, asthma affects the bronchi, not the alveoli.
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute defines asthma as a common chronic disorder of the airways characterized by variable and recurring
symptoms, airflow obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness (bronchospasm), and an underlying inflammation.http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/asthma/03_sec2_def.pdf Retrieved March 11, 2009
Public attention in the developed world has recently focused on the predisposition because of its rapidly increasing prevalence, affecting up to one quarter of urban children.
