Filter by:Bronchial asthma affects more than a quarter of a billion people worldwide. It is responsible for over 1000 deaths a day, of which the majority are preventable (Levy, 2015). Asthma is a common heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation. It is defined by the history of variable respiratory symptoms, such as shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezes, and cough, together with variable expiratory airflow limitation. Airflow limitation may later become persistent (GINA, 2023). The diagnosis of asthma is based on the history of these characteristic symptoms and evidence of variable expiratory airflow limitation from bronchodilator reversibility testing or other tests (GINA, 2023).
This study aimed to compare the effect of constant-load aerobic exercise (CL-AE) and graded aerobic exercise (G-AE) on cardiopulmonary fitness, and functional capacity in a cohort of obese children with bronchial asthma (BA). A total of 78 children with BA were randomly assigned to the CL-AE group (n = 26, who underwent moderate-intensity aerobic training with the training load maintained at the same level throughout the entire program, besides the respiratory re-training program), the G-AE group (n = 26, received an intensity- and duration-graded aerobic training in addition to the respiratory re-training program), or the control group (n = 29, who only engaged in a respiratory re-training program). Interventions were administered three times/week for 12 successive weeks. The cardiopulmonary fitness and functional capacity were evaluated in the three groups before and after the completion of the assigned interventions.
The objective of the study will be to understand whether a supplementation of the diet with an active symbiotic, i.e. characterized by a mix of probiotics and a specially selected fiber with prebiotic activity combined with a vegetable extract with beneficial activities on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, can reduce the relative inflammatory potential and improve absorption, intestinal motility and bowel habit of patients with various pathological conditions, such as ALS, ADHD and bronchial asthma.
Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent reversible episodes of breathlessness, wheezing, chest tightness and/ or cough. The prevalence of asthma in India is about 2%, and asthma is responsible for significant morbidity. A diagnosis of asthma is made in the presence of clinical symptoms with or without reversibility on spirometry assessment.1 Treatment comprises of inhaled medications that are used either as controller medication or a reliever medications. In a recent study involving asthmatic children, single maximal inhalation with breath hold was not found to be superior to tidal breathing for improvement in peak expiratory flow rates. The authors hypothesized that both the techniques would improve FEV1 similarly.
The purpose of the study is to assess the relationship between body posture and dynamic balance in adults with childhood-onset asthma and compare them to a non-asthmatic control group matched for gender, age, weight, and height.
The aim of this study is to investigate the associations between serum IL-38 levels and different variables of asthma in children such as laboratory variables, pulmonary function test results, the diagnosis of asthma, and in correlation with disease severity.
The goal of this study is to identify reliable, valid, easily measurable, interpretable, and useful biomarkers in peripheral blood and exhaled air by people with severe asthma for a more accurate description of the pathogenetic processes of asthma-related to the inflammatory endotype and the choice of biologic therapy.
This study was designed to assess the effect of inspiratory and expiratory muscle training in the same cycle on respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary functions, perception of asthma symptoms in children with bronchial asthma. Fifty-one children with bronchial asthma were randomly allocated to the unloaded respiratory muscle training (Placebo training group; n = 17), inspiratory muscle training alone (inspiratory muscle training group; n = 17), or combined inspiratory and expiratory muscle training in the same cycle (combined training group; n = 17). All groups were assessed for respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary functions, and asthma symptoms.
bronchial asthma (BA) may affect pregnancy and this affection may increase with increasing asthma severity. This study was designed to detect the effect of asthma severity on the course of asthma during pregnancy and its effect on the pregnancy and perinatal outcome
To research for a genetic marker of bronchial asthma, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis of DNA obtained from the peripheral blood of patients with bronchial asthma and normal control will be performed.
