As data provided by the Municipal Health Bureau, there are 2,655 families registered by the Family Health Program (PSF), and the estimated population of 10,706 inhabitants. Of this total, we estimate that children in the age group of 2 to 10 years comprise 14.9% (n@1.600) of the residents.<br /><br />The work was started on July 1 and concluded on October 30, 2001. We applied the standard written questionnaire of the ISAAC (module asthma) to identify the possible asthma. It was applied to those responsible for 1,095 children during home visits, where the containers were delivered to the collection of stool. Before the completion of standard questionnaire ISAAC3, the term of free and informed consent was read and explained, until they had doubts on the part of legal responsibility. Have been included 742 (67.8%) children, who handed the fecal samples to conduct the examination parasite in the laboratory of clinical pathology at University Hospital Alcides Carneiro (HUAC), Federal University of Paraiba (Campina Grande, MO). So were lost or not attended by closing the office to collect the neighborhood, 353 (32.2%) children, for not submitting the specimen fecal examination for the parasite. The parasite responsible for examining technical know which group belonged to child (asthma or non-asthma).<br /><br />The Standard ISAAC3 questionnaire was used to assess the prevalence of asthma and its symptoms, being characterized as suffering from asthma those children with the presence of wheezing in some period of his life. In search of the Ascaris lumbricoides eggs in faeces, was used the method of sedimentation of spontaneous Lutz, Hoffman, Pons and Janner8. All children with eggs of geo-helminths were treated with mebendazole (100mg, 2x a day for three days) and holders of other intestinal parasites diagnosed.<br /><br />In the statistical analysis of the variables (gender, age, family income, family history of atopy, diagnosis of asthma and ascariasis), the software was used SPSS (Statistical Packge for Social Sciences) version 9.0 for Windows. In assessing the agreement (association) of diagnoses of asthma and infection A. lumbricoides, the index was applied for Kappa. In the analysis of other variables as the type of them, were applied to the chi-square test (c2) or the Student's t test for paired samples. In the interpretation of statistical tests, was regarded as the statistical significance is the likelihood (r) of error type I (a) were equal to or less than 5.0% (p <0.05). n =" 385)" n =" 357)" n =" 1,095)," c2 =" 0.69;"> 0.70; g.1 = 1).<br /><br />Table 1 also shows, within each group, as the result of the questionnaire ISSAC (with or without asthma), that distribution of ascariasis did not differ (r> 0.28) on the sex of children, average age, age or family income. However, the group without asthma, ascariasis with the girls (60.1%) were more frequent that the boys (49.3%), but this difference was within the limits of statistical significance (r = 0.06).<br /><br />For asthma and its symptoms, as shown in Table 2, the frequency of "wheezing ever in life" was 59.7% (443/742), "wheezing in the last 12 months", 34.8% ( 258/742); "number of crises", 13.7% (101/742) had more than 12 years in crisis, "difficulty in the talks" was 31.0% (229/742), "wheezing after year" , 29.4% (218/742) and "Night cough", 62.7% (465/742). These symptoms did not differ statistically (r> 0.20) between the group with or without ascariasis.<br /><br />By comparing the correlation (52.2%; 387/742) of diagnoses of asthma and ascariasis (in 253 children) and the absence of both (on 134 children) with the disagreement (47.8%; 355/742) of diagnoses ( 165 children with ascariasis and without asthma, and 190 with asthma and without ascariasis), the Kappa index was 0019 - considered within the limits of agreement low or very low (k from 0.0 to 0.20).<br /><br />Assessing the history of allergy in the family (Table 3), the frequencies of parents, grandparents and uncles with similar history did not differ (r> 0.07) between groups of children with or without asthma.

The mechanisms of relief as maternal causes asthma are not well understood. Depressed mothers are more likely to smoke and less likely to breastfeed-actions which are associated with the development of asthma. Mothers depressed are more likely to smoke and less likely to breast-actions that are associated with the development of asthma. However, research has also suggested that depressed mothers are also less likely to interact with their infants.

One of the main reasons is that many cases present late. It causes one out of every five cancer deaths and affects mainly middle aged and elderly patients. Smoking is the main cause - death rate of smokers is 10 times that of nonsmokers. 80% of lung cancers are caused by smoking, and there may be a role of passive smoking in the remaining 20%.<br /><br />Lung cancer can largely be prevented if cigarette smoking can be reduced or stopped altogether. It is the duty of each member of the public to educate family and friends who are still smoking to quit the habit for the sake of them and their families, especially in view of the data on second hand smoke.<br /><br />Common Signs and Symptoms:<br />Lung cancer may be picked up in an asymptomatic patient who has undergone routine health screening with a chest X ray. Otherwise, the most common presenting symptoms include:<br />* Chronic cough.<br />* Blood in sputum.<br />* Chest pain.<br />* Shortness of breath.<br />* Hoarse voice.<br />* Loss of weight and/or appetite.<br /><br />However, the presence of these symptoms does not confirm lung cancer, as other causes like chest infections may have the same symptoms too.<br /><br />Diagnosis of Lung Cancer<br />If a patient is suspected of having lung cancer, a lung specialist or a thoracic surgeon will evaluate him. Apart from the history and physical examination, chest X rays and CT scans are performed. Often, a biopsy is done to confirm the cancer, and the procedure performed is either of the following:<br /><br />Bronchoscopy - A small, lighted flexible tube is inserted into the nose down the windpipe to obtain some tissue for examination. The 20-minute procedure is done under mild sedation and does not require admission.<br /><br />Needle aspiration - A fine needle is passed through the chest under local anesthesia into the tumour to remove a tissue sample. It may require an overnight admission after the procedure.<br /><br />Treatment Options Lung Cancer<br />The treatment of lung cancer depends on the type of lung cancer, size, location, extent of the tumour and the general health of the patient.<br /><br />Surgery is the best option of cure for non small cell lung cancer if the tumour can be removed and the operation performed safely. After surgery, most patients should undergo further treatment with Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy or both. This is called adjuvant therapy, and its main aim is to prevent further relapses of the cancer. It is now standard therapy. There are now several targeted therapies which are showing responses in advanced lung cancer patients: Traceva, Iressa, Avastin. These drugs have the potential to revolutionize therapy as they are not chemotherapy drugs, and therefore have hardly any toxicity. However, chemotherapy drugs are still used either before or in conjunction with these new targeted therapies.<br /><br />Read more about Chemotherapy >><br /></div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-4447937669758381482008-09-03T08:01:00.001+07:002008-10-30T15:08:04.239+07:00ABOUT COLORECTAL CANCER<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgufJCWNwN7q-lVB6Xxb3rCm9N-Y6rCRpnGBYKFBqPyTgg93auaSNJ1smTh5-DDVXK66k1dFI0UAvvw0eYxG3O5PzCwBt1StEUZUPqSoePWt1FArQPuMftZpAVlWgekYV5dBSydZVjpuvJB/s1600-h/About+Colorectal+Cancer.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 417px; height: 333px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgufJCWNwN7q-lVB6Xxb3rCm9N-Y6rCRpnGBYKFBqPyTgg93auaSNJ1smTh5-DDVXK66k1dFI0UAvvw0eYxG3O5PzCwBt1StEUZUPqSoePWt1FArQPuMftZpAVlWgekYV5dBSydZVjpuvJB/s400/About+Colorectal+Cancer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262855294836557730" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">COLORECTAL CANCER</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Colorectal cancer is cancer that originates in the colon or rectum. In Singapore, it is the most common cancer type overall. However, the death rate from colorectal cancer has declined over the past 15 years due to improved screening methods and advances in treatment. This is because early detection and removal of intestinal polyps may help prevent colorectal cancer.<br /><br />Common Signs and Symptoms:<br /> * Blood in the stool is a common sign of the disease. Blood may be bright red or dark in colour, and may not be noticeable.<br /> * Abdominal discomfort such as pain, bloating, cramping, feeling of fullness.<br /> * Change in bowel habits.<br /> * Constipation or diarrhoea.<br /> * Narrow stools.<br /> * Nausea and vomiting.<br /> * Weight loss.<br /><br />Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer<br /><br />Screening is recommended beginning at age 50 and includes investigation of stool and colonoscopy. Biopsy is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. When colorectal cancer is suspected, laboratory tests such as urinalysis, blood tests, and other imaging tests such as chest X ray and CT scans are performed to further confirm the diagnosis.<br />Treatment Options<br /><br />Surgery is the treatment of choice for colorectal cancer. Treatment depends on the stage of the disease and the overall health of the patient. Chemotherapy and Radiation therapy is often used as adjuvant treatment (i.e. in addition to surgery).<br /><br />Follow-up care is recommended for colorectal cancer patients to ensure that recurrent or advanced disease is detected as soon as possible. Patients should undergo regular physical examinations, Faecal occult blood tests, Colonoscopies, CT scans, and Chest x-rays.<br /><br />Read more about Chemotherapy >><br /></div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-29714084095746818002008-09-03T07:59:00.001+07:002008-10-30T15:12:06.570+07:00About Chemotherapy cancer<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBqa92VUtC99bFgkJo_3qp8J2RMVz_LnLQMCnju4JfJLPk5EGxfVSXvRWcRgr6KNiMEPs_j8hdtHoQkVg6o7wj_GE-u55TItiDyUT8vv1Jq39yjVtNZwjJCLscsVWuFS7doCj2sxnm7mJI/s1600-h/About+chemotherapy+cancer.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 419px; height: 335px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBqa92VUtC99bFgkJo_3qp8J2RMVz_LnLQMCnju4JfJLPk5EGxfVSXvRWcRgr6KNiMEPs_j8hdtHoQkVg6o7wj_GE-u55TItiDyUT8vv1Jq39yjVtNZwjJCLscsVWuFS7doCj2sxnm7mJI/s400/About+chemotherapy+cancer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262856286589362482" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chemotherapy cancer</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Normally, cells live, grow and die in a predictable way. Cancer occurs when certain cells in the body keep dividing and forming more cells without the ability to stop this process. Chemotherapy involves destroying cancer cells by keeping the cells from further multiplying. Unfortunately, in the process of undergoing chemotherapy, healthy cells can also be affected, especially those that naturally should divide quickly.<br />Chemotherapy strives to maximize the elimination of cancer cells while minimizing the negative effects that they have on healthy cells. Much progress in developing successful chemotherapy has been made, including the identification of many different types of cancer and the corresponding development of effective chemotherapy solutions. But there is still much work to be done.<br />Common Side Effects of Chemotherapy<br />The side effects of chemo generally depend on the type of therapy being offered. Most chemotherapy side effects cease after treatment. Although uncommon, some treatments may produce long-term effects. They may include:<br />" Fatigue, one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy.<br />" Hair loss.<br />" Abdominal pain, cramping, flatulence (gas).<br />" Hypersensitivity reactions.<br />" Anxiety, nervousness, irritability.<br />" Poor Appetite.<br />" Blood pressure changes<br />" Rhinitis, Runny nose, Sinusitis.<br />" Constipation.<br />" Dehydration.<br />" Cataracts, conjunctivitis (pink eye), dry eyes, glaucoma.</div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-73001484020018367082008-09-03T07:56:00.002+07:002008-10-30T15:17:41.978+07:00More is not however better for patient cancer<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4l16TheTp31ZHScXXoNrrg0xBEIVCcZXU3cvdFPTEx3dZtytHBQa6N7UyrEPOknkFjnMcA0LoieIi3Q5PNtEJMuPQquvDvltGRdmWz0PQ74BS7LE92qAn-wvre2SLcbytetKcdSbp0a02/s1600-h/More+is+not+however+better++for+patient+cancer.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 412px; height: 264px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4l16TheTp31ZHScXXoNrrg0xBEIVCcZXU3cvdFPTEx3dZtytHBQa6N7UyrEPOknkFjnMcA0LoieIi3Q5PNtEJMuPQquvDvltGRdmWz0PQ74BS7LE92qAn-wvre2SLcbytetKcdSbp0a02/s400/More+is+not+however+better++for+patient+cancer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262857853538930226" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">More is not however better!</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Red wine – contains polyphenols (potent antioxidants) and resveratrol (inhibits cancer) But excessive alcohol is toxic to liver and is cancer causing<br />Soya – contains isoflavones which is good for prevention of cancer but it also contains phytoestrogens which in high doses may stimulate cancer growth<br /><br />Common Cancer Myths…<br />“I cannot take sugar as it will feed the cancer cells”<br />Many foods are made up of complex sugars eg. Rice, bread, noodles – these are all carbohydrates which are eventually broken down to simple sugars like glucose in the gut.<br />Fruits also contain sugar called fructose.<br /><br />“Meat is bad for patients with cancer”<br />Meat is an excellent source of good quality protein, vitamins and minerals.<br />Even small amounts of red meat are acceptable as they contain more iron which is vital to the human body.<br /><br />“I must starve myself to starve the cancer”<br />Cancer cells are better at withstanding “starvation” than normal cells. Most patients which embark on this reduce their immunity further enabling the cancer to grow even faster.<br /><br />“Cancer treatments cannot succeed if patients are not well nourished and are not taking a well balanced diet!”<br /><br />So in conclusion, how can I maximize my chances of beating cancer?<br />* Eat a well balanced, nutritious diet – eg. if not keen to eat too much meat, supplement with protein drinks<br />* Eat small frequent meals<br />* Avoid excessive intake of fruits & veg – they are of less nutritional value and may exacerbate bloatedness<br />* Maintain an exercise program which suits your energy level<br />* Discuss openly with your doctor problems with treatment side effects, diet, sleep, bowel movements…..<br />* It is recommended to undergo between 30 to 60 minutes of moderate physical activity 3-4 times a week<br />* Studies have shown that physical activity can help protect against some cancers<br />* Cancer patients who are able to exercise moderately improve their well being and

style="text-align: justify;">There has been some evidence to suggest that certain foods may help prevent cancer. These are mainly plant or cereal based.<br /><br />Some anti cancer foods:<br />Tomatoes ,Chillies / Peppers, Green Tea ,Avocados, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Garlic, Carrots, Grapefruits, Grapes, Mushrooms, Nuts, Papayas, Seaweed, Soy<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tomato</span><br />Recent study suggests whole tomatoes offer better protection from prostate cancer than lycopene supplements alone. Lycopene is an antioxidant compound that gives tomatoes and certain other fruits and vegetables their color. People who have diets rich in tomatoes, which contain lycopene, appear to have a lower risk of certain types of cancer, especially cancers of the prostate, lung, and stomach.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fish</span><br />One portion of fish every other day can reduce cancer risk compared with less than one a week. Some benefits with fatty fish (eg, salmon, mackeral, herring, sardines) include reduced prostate cancer risk as discovered in a trial carried out by Swedish researchers.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Spices</span><br />Chillies contain capsaicin which is good for the body. In addition, it is also a good source of Vitamin C. Garlic can protect against stomach cancer by fighting against bacteria called Helicobacter pylori.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Probiotics</span><br />Yogurt and milk fermented with probiotic bacterial cultures may play a role in the prevention and even treatment of some gut inflammatory diseases, which could be related to the onset of certain cancers (eg, colon cancer).<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Red Meat</span><br />There is some evidence to suggest a high intake of red meat and processed meat may predispose to cancer, especially bowel and prostate related cancers. However, red meat also contains good quality protein, vitamins and minerals. The rule of thumb is to limit intake to approximately 3 oz per day.<br /><br /><br /></div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-10019517665502716302008-09-03T07:48:00.001+07:002008-09-03T07:48:42.427+07:00Treatment Options breast cancer<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Treatment Options breast cancer</span><br /><br />The treatment of choice for early stage disease is curative surgery. This can take the form of either mastectomy which is removal of the whole breast, or breast conservation surgery when only part of the breast is removed. The decision is often taken based on the size of the tumour, the size of the breasts and the patient's preference. The lymph nodes in the armpit are also removed for examination. Current trends are moving in the direction of breast conservation surgery, and even in women post mastectomy there is an increasing demand for breast reconstructive surgery which can produce a good overall cosmetic effect.<br /><br />Additional treatment post surgery may include Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy. There are now several targeted therapies which are showing promising responses in advanced breast cancer patients: Herceptin, Avastin. These drugs have the potential to revolutionize therapy as they are not chemotherapy drugs, and therefore have hardly any toxicity. However, chemotherapy drugs are still used either before or in conjunction with these new targeted therapies.<br /><br />Radiotherapy is the use of high energy X-rays to kill cancer cells and stop them from growing. It is used primarily to reduce the chance of the tumour growing again in the area of the initial operation.<br /><br />Chemotherapy is the administration of drugs to kill cancer cells, and is a systemic therapy where the drugs enter the body either by mouth or by injection, and travel though the body. Chemotherapy has been proven to reduce the incidence of cancer spread to other parts of the body, thereby increasing survival and prolonging life.<br /><br />Read more about Chemotherapy >></div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-27463872441150010782008-09-03T07:42:00.002+07:002008-09-03T07:47:56.097+07:00Abaout Breast cancer<div style="text-align: justify;">Breast cancer is now second leading cause of cancer deaths in women today (after lung cancer) and is the most common cancer among women. It is the most frequent cancer among females and there is a clear increase in incidence over time.<br />The curability of the cancer depends on its stage at initial presentation, and the earlier it presents, the more easily curable it is. Therefore, increasing the awareness of the public and increasing the participation of healthy women in screening programs will help to combat this potentially deadly disease.<br /><br />Common Signs and Symptoms:<br /> * A painless breast lump or a lump in the armpit.<br /> * Bleeding or discharge from the nipple.<br /> * A change in the colour or feel of the skin of the breast or nipple, for example dimpling or puckering, or a rash.<br /> * A change in the size or shape of the breast.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Diagnosis of Breast Cancer</span><br /><br />Screening for breast cancer is now quite established. Current recommendations by various organizations include the following:<br /> * Self breast examination every month - you can be taught how to do this by your general practitioner or any physician.<br /> * A clinical breast examination by a medical practitioner every 4 months.<br /> * Regular mammography with or without a breast ultrasound beginning at age 40-50. This should be performed yearly if you are over the age of 50. If you are younger than 50, you should have yearly examinations if there is a family history of breast cancer, and this should commence 5-10 years before the earliest case of cancer in the family.<br /><br />If a suspicious lesion is found on examination, the doctor may proceed to perform a biopsy (removal of a tissue sample for examination under a microscope) either using a needle to remove some cells from the lump, or the doctor may need to perform a small operation to remove part of or the entire lump for further histological tests.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /></div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-38197886510612106882008-08-28T11:43:00.000+07:002008-08-28T11:46:25.694+07:00Asthma symptoms<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="title">Asthmatic Bronchitis <img src="http://www.asthmaticbronchitis.com/app/images/arrow.gif" align="absmiddle" /> Symptoms</span><span class="black"></span> <span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"> Asthma in children comprises of a set of variable symptoms. The onset of asthma may have typical cold and coryza, running of the nose, sneezing, nose block, sore throat, with or without fever. Then the symptoms might settle to the chest producing cough and congestion, leading to the typical 'chest spasm' which is described as a 'wheeze' in common language. In medical language, we often call it 'bronchospasm', which is nothing but the spasm of the bronchus (bronchi). The wheeze obstructs the lung tubes to give a sense of breathlessness, called as 'dyspnoea'. The breathless when intense or prolonged, gives panting, weakness and exhaustion due to inadequate oxygenation. </span><br /><span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"> Coughing may be a constant accompanied symptom, which may be either a spasmodic, barking, hacking or violent. It is not difficult to anticipate an attack of breathlessness when the child starts having so called 'asthmatic cough'. The quality of cough may be either dry (non-productive) or wet (productive). There may be secretion of fluid in the lung tubes producing even more difficult respiration. It may come out as sputum (expectoration). Many times the process of expectoration itself may bring more strain and hence breathlessness. Sometimes, release of sputum or expectoration may give relief in breathlessness due to partial clearing of the air-passage. </span><br /><span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"> There is a possibility that the attack of asthma may begin all of a sudden without any preceding cold or cough. The cases are not uncommon where the parents would find children waking up in the middle of night with severe attack of asthma.</span><br /><span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"> It may be noted that cough may be absolutely absent during the entire episode of asthma.</span><br /><span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"> Some of the factors, which influence the level of severity during an acute attack of asthma, may be noted with interest. Some children have a predisposition to have the attack getting worse during some specific time, say 2 or 3 am early morning or on rising up in the morning. Some children would feel comfortable only during certain body posture such as sitting erect or lying on particular side of the body. Some are better when being carried on the shoulder. Some are better sitting. Some feel better after having little warm water while some are better if the doors and windows are open.</span><br /><span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"> If we carefully examine the symptoms of asthma, we shall find that although the basic symptoms remain the same, the exact symptoms vary from child to child. This suggests that every case of asthma calls for individual attention in order to cure it.</span></div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-26233785797837466842008-08-28T11:38:00.001+07:002008-08-28T11:41:20.278+07:00About children and asthma<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="title">Asthmatic Bronchitis <img src="http://www.asthmaticbronchitis.com/app/images/arrow.gif" align="absmiddle" /> Childhood Asthma</span><span class="black"></span> <span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"></span><span class="black">Simply, asthma in children is called as childhood asthma. When translated in a medical language, it is called Asthmatic Bronchitis. Again, it simply means a kind of bronchitis, which is asthmatic in nature. </span><br /><span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"> It will be important to know what does asthma mean, in the first place. Asthma means panting (breathlessness), in Greek. In reality, asthma is more then panting. For example, if you exert yourself with intense exercise, you feel panting, but that is not asthma. Asthma means breathlessness due to the constriction of the respiratory tubes. The constriction of the large and small tubes of the lung may be because of the spasm caused by certain factors, discussed separately on this page. </span><br /><span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"> Let us briefly understand the structure and the function of the lungs.</span><br /><span class="black"> The lungs are two cone shaped vital organs on either side of the chest, as shown in the figure. Air, which we breathe through the nose, enters into the lungs through the air-tube (called Trachea) which bifurcates into two tubes, each going to the respective lungs. Each of the bronchus (plural bronchi) branches into multiple, innumerous small tubes called bronchioles. The bronchioles lead to terminal sacs called alveoli. The air eventually passes through the bronchioles to the alveoli to exchange carbon dioxide (CO2) with Oxygen in return.</span><br /><span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"> <img src="http://www.asthmaticbronchitis.com/app/images/diagram1.gif" align="left" border="0" height="156" width="244" /> In the normal circumstances, there is a clear passage in the bronchi and the bronchioles facilitating effortless breathing process. In case of the asthmatic episode, due to certain factors the bronchi and the bronchioles go into 'spasm' leading to obstructed air passage (as shown in the figure II), not allowing the oxygen to go across. This is a typical phenomenon of the acute asthmatic episode.</span><br /><span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"> So, asthmatic bronchitis is nothing but a disorder of the respiratory system whereby the lung tubes meet with episodic or chronic episodes of spasms, where the precipitating cause might differ from patient to patient and the frequency of attacks, the duration of attack as well as the intensity of the attack could vary from child to child.</span><br /><span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"> <img src="http://www.asthmaticbronchitis.com/app/images/diagram2.gif" align="left" border="0" height="147" width="245" /> The factors, which decide the intensity of the attack, are not only the external factors such as the strength of the allergens or irritants but it is the individual sensitivity (susceptibility) which decides the intensity of the breathlessness. Similarly, the same rules apply to frequency, the length of the attack. When said so, it is not difficult to derive that the Child Asthma is a disorder where one has to ascertain the 'internal' factors (such as the susceptibility of the patients) rather then just the external factors such as the food allergens. This understanding is quite vital with reference to the homeopathic approach to the treatment of asthma.</span><br /><span class="black"></span><br /><span class="black"> As a result of the entire process, which involves spasm and an inflammation of the lung tubules, the child may present with cough, difficult breathing (called dyspnea), panting and weakness. </span></div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-3887791408392337642008-08-28T11:27:00.000+07:002008-08-28T11:28:47.191+07:00Apple juice can prevents symptoms of asthma<div style="text-align: justify;">Tip Apple juice prevents symptoms of asthma<br /><br />The consumption of apple juice has been associated with a lower incidence of childhood asthma, but the reasons are not yet clear.<br /><br />A British study has reinforced the belief that the consumption of fruits and vegetables has benefits in respiratory health. The novelty of the work published in the European Respiratory Journal is to have identified, among children of primary school, that the best apple juice consumed were also among the least had symptoms of asthma.<br /><br />Other data collected by researchers from Greenwich was not with the same results with the consumption of apple. Only the juice concentrate seems to have the effect, as well as bananas. Already the other fruits and orange juice have no relationship with asthma, which has left those responsible for the study intrigued with the mechanisms behind this action.</div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-58074028024779271162008-08-28T11:25:00.000+07:002008-08-28T11:27:08.442+07:00Prevent the asthma and allergies in children<div style="text-align: justify;">Prevent the asthma and allergies in children with Mediterranean diet during pregnancy<br /><br /><br />Vegetables, fish, and legumes while pregnant reduce risk of asthma; red meat worsens risk.<br /><br />Newswise - Mothers-to-be who eat a Mediterranean diet while pregnant could help reduce the risks of asthma and allergy in their children, suggests research published ahead of print in Thorax.<br /><br />The findings are based on 468 mother and child pairs, who were tracked from pregnancy up to 6.5 years after the birth.<br /><br />What the mothers ate during pregnancy and what their children were eating by the time they were 6 years old were assessed using food frequency questionnaires.<br /><br />The results were then scored from 0 to 7, according to how much of their food intake matched a traditional Mediterranean diet of vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, fish, dairy products and olive oil.<br /><br />A score of 4 to 7 indicated a high quality Mediterranean diet, while a score of 3 or less reflected the opposite.<br /><br />Parents also provided information on their children’s respiratory and allergic symptoms, and the children were also tested for persistent wheezing and allergic reactions.<br /><br />Just over 13% of children had persistent wheezing, while 17% responded positively to skin test allergens. Almost 6% had asthma-like symptoms plus positive skin test results.<br /><br />Around one in three of the mothers (36%) ate a low quality Mediterranean diet during pregnancy. The rest ate a high quality diet.<br /><br />Children’s dietary intake at the age of 6.5 years seemed to have little impact on their risks of asthmatic symptoms or allergy.<br /><br />But their mother’s diet during pregnancy was important.<br /><br />Those who closely followed the traditional Mediterranean diet were significantly more likely to have children free of asthmatic symptoms and allergies than those who ate a low quality Mediterranean diet.<br /><br />Consumption of vegetables more than eight times a week, fish more than three times a week, and legumes more than once a week, seemed to be particularly protective.<br /><br />On the other hand, consumption of red meat more than three to four times a week seemed to increase the risks.</div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-80230624506546022922008-08-28T11:24:00.000+07:002008-08-28T11:25:25.435+07:00Prevalence of symptoms of asthma<div style="text-align: justify;">Prevalence of symptoms of asthma, rhinitis and atopic eczema among children and adolescents Brazilians identified by the International Study of Asthma and Allergies (ISAAC) - Phase 3<br /><br />SUMMARY<br />PURPOSE: To determine the prevalence of symptoms related to asthma, rhinitis and atopic eczema in school (JV) between 6 and 7 years and adolescents (AD) between 13 and 14 years, residents in 20 Brazilian cities, using a standardized questionnaire writing of ISAAC, and to evaluate their association with the latitude, altitude and average annual temperature of the centres of residence.<br />METHODS: EC participated in the study and AD of the five regions of Brazil, totaling 23,422 ISAAC questionnaires answered by parents with CD and 58,144 by the AD. The indices of latitude, altitude and average annual temperature were obtained from the IBGE.<br />RESULTS: The prevalence averages for the EC and AD respectively, were: active asthma, 24.3 and 19.0%; rhinoconjunctivitis, 12.6 and 14.6%, and eczema flexural, 8.2 and 5.0% . And significant negative association was observed between latitude and prevalence of asthma diagnosed by doctor for the EC, severe asthma, a doctor diagnosed asthma, eczema and eczema flexural for AD. There was no association with the altitude of the centres.<br />CONCLUSION: The prevalence of asthma, rhinitis and atopic eczema in Brazil was variable. Values higher, especially for asthma and eczema, were observed in the centres located closer to the equator.<br /><br />Introduction<br />The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) was a milestone between the epidemiological studies on prevalence of asthma and allergic diseases in children and adolescents. The ISAAC is designed to assess the prevalence of asthma and allergic diseases in children in different parts of the world, employing standardized method (self-administered questionnaire written and / or video questionnaire) 1.2. The written questionnaire (QE) of self-administered ISAAC was the most employee, to be easily understood, low-cost, independent of the application by interviewer treinado1, 2.<br /><br />The target audience should be formed by school (EC) in a given geographical area (center of ISAAC) of two age groups: 13 to 14 years and 6 to 7 years. The participation of EC in age from 6 to 7 years, although recommended, was not compulsory.<br /><br />The sample under study should include all children of the age group under study, a randomized sample of schools.<br /><br />Once defined geographic area and schools to be included, each head of research should select, based on school records, adolescents (AD) aged between 13 and 14 years, which would be invited to meet the QE. The selection of additional group of 6 to 7 years follow the same criteria, and parents of these children would be invited to address the QE.<br /><br />In the first phase of ISAAC, were interviewed 463,801 AD (13 and 14 years) from 155 centres in 56 countries (Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South Americas and Oceania) and 257,800 EC (6 and 7 years) of 91 centres in 38 countries of those regions, except the África2-5.<br /><br />The analysis of the results obtained at the end of phase 1, relating to asthma, showed that there has been wide variation in both age groups, with respect to the prevalence of wheezing in the past 12 months (active asthma), ranging from 4.1 to 32.1 % For the EC and from 2.1 to 32.2% for AD2, 3. The lowest values were documented in the Republic of Georgia and Estonia, and the highest in Austrália2, 3. In both age groups, Brazil was among the countries with the largest prevalências3, 6.<br /><br />With regard to rhinitis, the variation in prevalence of symptoms was also related ampla4. The prevalence of nasal symptoms in the absence of cold in the last year ranged from 1.5 to 41.8% between the EC and 3.2 to 66.6% among AD4. Already the prevalence of nasal symptoms associated with ocular symptoms (allergic rhinoconjunctivitis) ranged from 0.8 to 14.9% for the EC and from 1.4 to 39.7% for the AD4. In general, there was agreement between the prevalence of asthma and rhinitis: centres with low prevalence of asthma (less than 5%: Indonesia, Albania, Romania, Georgia and Greece) had low prevalence of rhinitis, and those with very prevalence of asthma high (above 30%: Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom) also had high prevalence of rinite3, 4.<br /><br />The results of atopic eczema (AE) were those who had greater range of variation (up to 60 times), ranging between 0.3 and 20.5% 2.5. The highest values (above 15%) were observed in urban centers of Africa, Australia, North and West of Europe, and the lowest (less than 5%) in China, Eastern Europe and Asia Central2, 5.<br /><br />Upon obtaining such data, several other studies have been conducted in order to verify the relationship between the prevalence of asthma and allergic diseases and possible risk factors. The immunization of rotina7, notifications of tuberculose8, 9 and the pattern alimentar10 were some of the factors studied. In a recent study, Weiland et al. assessed the possible relationship between latitude, relative humidity and temperature annual change in the centres of participants ISAAC Phase 1 and the prevalence of asthma and diseases alérgicas11. There negative relationship between these parameters and the prevalence of asthma symptoms. Moreover, the prevalence of symptoms of eczema is positively related with the latitude and negatively with the average temperature environment, that is, with minor local variations in temperature have been associated with increased levels of prevalência11. In conclusion, these authors suggest that the climate is an important factor and able to interfere in the prevalence of asthma and EA11.<br /><br />In Latin America, the end of the first phase of ISAAC, Mallol et al. documented significant relationship between prevalence and severity of asthma and latitude of the centres participating avaliados12. Some of these centres were Brazilians.<br /><br />The small number of centres Brazilian participants of phase 1, combined with the absence of centres in some regions of the country, prevented the realization of that avaliação6, 13.14. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between prevalence of symptoms of asthma, rhinitis and eczema and latitude from different centres Brazilian participants or not the ISAAC phase 3.<br /><br />Patients and methods<br />Twenty-one centers, 20 Brazilian cities participated in this study. The students evaluated were selected as recommended by the protocol ISAAC1, 15. In each centre, as stipulated in the geographical area that the study would be conducted, called to the Municipal Secretary of Education the relationship of the schools located there. Then there was raffle (table of random numbers) that part of the study. Cities, states and regions where the study was conducted were: Manaus, Amazonas, North (N), Belem, Para N; Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Northeast (NE); Recife, Pernambuco, NE; Caruaru, Pernambuco , NE; Maceio Alagoas, NE; Aracaju, Sergipe, NE; Feira de Santana, Bahia, NE; Salvador, Bahia, NE; Vitoria da Conquista, Bahia, NE; Brasilia, Federal District, hundred-West (CO); Belo Horizonte , Minas Gerais, Southeast (SE); Nova Iguacu, Rio de Janeiro, SE; Sao Paulo (West and South), Sao Paulo, SE; Santo Andre Sao Paulo, SE; Curitiba, Parana South (S); Itajaí Santa Catarina, S; Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul, S; Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, S; Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, S. Part of these centres had the data adopted by ISAAC International Data Center and were regarded as official centres (Tables 1 and 2). The study was approved by the respective committees of ethics, and all signed the expiry of free and informed consent.<br /><br />You decided not by evaluating the age group from 6 to 7 years (not compulsory) the following centres: Bethlehem, Recife, rabbits, Brasilia, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Passo Fundo, Porto Alegre and Santa Maria.<br /><br />The study began in 2002 and was completed in 2003, as recommended by the ISAAC, obeying, when possible, the same period of data collection in all centres. In the Southern Region, where the seasons are better defined, was held before the spring, thus avoiding possible seasonal influences.<br /><br />After the definition of the sample in each of the cities, the QE ISAAC, previously translated and validated (Brazilian culture) 14,16,17, was answered by parents or guardians of the EC, 6 and 7 years of age (n = 23,422) and by the AD in classrooms (n = 58,144, 13-14 years of age). The data were entered manually into the database provided by the coordinators of the general protocol ISAAC.<br /><br />The module asthma, were considered the questions about symptoms, severity and medical diagnosis of asthma, namely: wheezing in the past 12 months (active asthma); wheezing intense able to confine the talks in the past 12 months (severe asthma); asthma ever in life (diagnosed asthma) 1.3.<br /><br />The module rhinitis, were considered the issues relating to symptoms of rhinitis, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and serious forms of rhinitis: sneezing, nasal obstruction and coryza ever in the past 12 months (rhinitis); problems associated with nasal itching and tearing eyes with the past 12 months (allergic rhinoconjunctivitis); nasal problem interfering with daily activity (severe rhinitis) 1.4.<br /><br />Of the questions about eczema, were assessed for the symptoms and severity: skin rash that appears and disappears in the last 12 months (eczema), this same characteristic skin rash in places (eczema flexural); rash and pruriginoso that interferes with sleep in last 12 months (severe eczema) 1.5.<br /><br />The values of latitude, altitude and average annual temperature of each of the participating centres were obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Estatística18.<br /><br />For analysis of the data, employees were non-parametric tests: Spearman's correlation coefficient (RS) and the calculation of the confidence interval of 95% (95%). In all tests, falling to 5% the level of rejection in the event of invalidity.<br /><br /><br /><br />Results<br />Among the EC, the prevalence averages were: active asthma, 24.3%, with higher values in Sao Paulo - and Vitoria da Conquista West; severe asthma, 6.1% and the highest in Sao Paulo - and West Christmas; asthma diagnosed by doctor, 10.3% (Manaus and Christmas); rhinitis, 25.7% (Bahia, Feira de Santana, Salvador and Vitoria da Conquista); rhinoconjunctivitis, 12.6% (Bahia); severe rhinitis, 17.1% (Bahia), eczema, 11.5% (Nova Iguacu, Christmas and Aracaju); flexural eczema, 8.2% (Christmas, Aracaju and Nova Iguacu), and severe eczema, 5.0% (Christmas and Aracaju) (Table 1).<br /><br />Among the AD, the prevalence averages were: active asthma, 19.0%, with higher values in El Salvador and Vitoria da Conquista, severe asthma, 4.7%, with higher values in Vitoria da Conquista and Aracaju; asthma diagnosed by doctor, 13.6% (Bethlehem, Porto Alegre and rabbits); rhinitis, 29.6% (Bethlehem, Salvador and Vitoria da Conquista); allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, 14.6% (Bethlehem, Salvador and Vitoria da Conquista); severe rhinitis , 17.4% (Bahia), eczema, 8.9% (Bethlehem, Aracaju and Salvador); flexural eczema, 5.0% (Aracaju, Vitoria da Conquista and Christmas), and severe eczema, 4.4% (Bahia and Aracaju) (Table 2).<br /><br />The study of the association between the latitude of the centres and the prevalence of symptoms and severity of asthma, rhinitis and EA showed statistically significant and negative for asthma diagnosed by doctor (RS = -0622; 95% -0885 to -0056, p = 0031) to the EC, severe asthma (RS = -0565; 95% -0806 to -0163, p = 0008), asthma diagnosed by doctor (RS = -0479; 95% -0761 to -0046, p = 0028), eczema ( RS = -0718; 95% -0881 to -0405, p = 0.0002) and eczema flexural (RS = -0530; 95% -0788 to -0115, p = 0013) for AD. In other words, the shorter the latitude (greater proximity to the Equator), the greater the prevalence of affirmative answers to these questions.<br /><br />Regarding the annual average temperature, there were significant and positive association with the diagnosis of asthma by a doctor (RS = 0459, 95% CI 0.02 to 0749, p = 0037), and with eczema (RS = 0541; 0129 to 95% 0794, p = 0011) between the AD. Thus, the higher the average annual temperature, the greater the prevalence of medical diagnosis of asthma and eczema.<br /><br />Discussion<br />The prevalence rates of asthma and allergic diseases were observed in higher centers of North and Northeast regions, the exception made for asthma, which was also observed in the South Region three times the increase in the number of centers participating in relation to ISAAC fase16 , 13.14, the presence of centres of the five regions of the country and the high level of return on QE distribuídos2, 3 allow us to accept the sample assessed here as representative of Brazil.<br /><br />The ISAAC phase 1 in Latin America focused data from 17 centers in nine countries and brought together 36,264 and 52,549 EC AD. The prevalence of asthma and related symptoms showed up high and variable, as described for industrialized countries or developed regions mundo12 of. The prevalence of asthma active ranged between 8.6 and 32.1% for the EC and between 6.6 and 27.0% for AD, and the highest levels of prevalence were observed in the centres next to the line of Ecuador. Moreover, is not documented relationship between exposure to air pollution, early exposure to respiratory and gastrointestinal infections and prevalence of asma12. They put in check the validity of the hygiene hypothesis for Latin America as a todo12.<br /><br />Et al Weiland. investigated the relationship between climate (latitude, range of annual changes in outside temperature (difference between the annual maximum and minimum annual) and moisture content intra) and the prevalence of atopic diseases using data from ISAAC phase 1 (146 centres). For symptoms of asthma, there inverse relation between altitude, annual changes in temperature and relative humidity intradomiciliar11. The analysis of these data showed part, to the western European countries, there has been an increase in the prevalence of symptoms of asthma in combination with increased humidity annual intra estimada11. In this study, we found significant and negative relationship to a doctor diagnosed asthma among the EC and asthma diagnosed by medical and severe asthma among AD. This fact could be explained by differences in the conduct and name of the disease throughout the country. However, when considering the prevalence of serious forms, see the same behavior to the AD. That fact certainly reinforces the highest prevalence of asthma in the north of the country. This finding is supported by significant and positive relationship observed between average temperature and prevalence of asthma diagnosed.<br /><br />As for rhinitis and related symptoms, not document significant relationship between their prevalence and the variables analyzed for the two age groups, like other estudos11. On the other hand, there was significant and negative relationship between the prevalence of eczema and eczema flexural and latitude of the centres. Values higher occurred north of the country, as well as eczema in places with higher average temperatures. Exposure to higher temperatures and constant, the high moisture content environment, the greater exposure of the skin by using lighter clothes, combined with higher frequency of skin diseases in this region could be some of the reasons to justify the increase in prevalence of eczema , Designation that can accommodate several tables skin. However, the same behavior observed with the prevalence of eczema flexural, characteristic of AD, calls into question the previously indicated. This waved to the heat and humidity as risk factors for EA. Unlike observed in this study, Weiland et al. documented increase in the prevalence of eczema and related symptoms, in both age groups, with increasing latitude and decrease with the increase of the magnitude of annual average temperature outside, and with increasing relative humidity of intra ar11.<br /><br />Nnoruka et al., When assessing children with Nigerian EA, identified intolerance to heat, moisture and excessive sweating intradomiciliary as aggravating factors for the EA19, like outros20. Already Fernandez-Mayoralas et al. documented influence of air pollution on the prevalence of AD in adolescents who lived the city of Cartagena (Spain) 21. The authors found high levels of prevalence of AD and serious forms between those who were exposed to higher levels of poluição21. In this study, did not notice any influence of air pollution on the prevalence of AD, especially if we consider the centers of St. Paul and St. Andrew where they are traditionally the highest documented levels of air pollution in the country.<br /><br />In conclusion, with the increased number of participants in this study centers in Brazil, we find, as observed in Latin America at the end of phase 1, higher frequency of medical diagnosis of asthma, for CD and AD, and most serious forms of asthma, eczema and eczema flexural between AD population centers nearest to the line of the equator. The identification of risk factors to which the inhabitants of these centres is to be exposed fundamental step towards the possible elucidation of the pathogenesis of asthma and allergies in those localities.</div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-61827223186247184022008-08-28T11:18:00.001+07:002008-09-03T08:20:46.398+07:00Children's asthma can be triggered by mothers' stress<div style="text-align: justify;">General Interest<br />Children whose mothers are chronically stressed during their early years have a higher asthma rate than their peers, regardless of their income, gender or other known asthma risk factors. Children whose mothers are chronically stressed during its first years have a higher rate of asthma than their peers, regardless of income, gender or other known risk factors for asthma.<br /><br />"It is increasingly clear that traditional environmental risk factors do not fully explain the origins of asthma," said lead investigator, Anita Kozyrskyj, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Manitoba, Canada. "It is increasingly clear that the traditional environmental risk factors, not quite explain the origins of asthma," said the lead researcher, Anita Kozyrskyj, Ph.D., Associate Professor of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Manitoba in Canada. "Evidence is emerging that exposure to maternal distress in early life plays a causal role in the development of childhood asthma. "Evidence is emerging that exposure to maternal anxiety in early life plays a causal role in the development of childhood asthma. In a cohort of children born in 1995, we found that maternal distress which persists beyond the postpartum period is associated with an increased risk of asthma at school-age. "In a cohort of children born in 1995, found that maternal anxiety that persists beyond the post-is associated with an increased risk of asthma in school-age."<br /><br />The findings appeared in the second issue for January 2008 of the American Journal or Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, published by the American Thoracic Society. The results appeared in the second edition of January 2008 or American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, published by the American Thoracic Society.<br /><br />Dr. Kozyrskyj and her colleagues analyzed the medical records of nearly 14000 children born in Manitoba in 1995 who were continuously registered with Manitoba Health Services until 2003. Dr. Kozyrskyj and her colleagues analyzed the medical records of about 14000 children born in Manitoba in 1995 that were recorded continuously with Manitoba Health Services by 2003. They determined whether the children had current asthma at age seven by analyzing records of doctor visits, hospitalizations and medications in the year of the child's seventh birthday, and related it to maternal distress as defined by doctor visits, hospitalizations and medication for depression and anxiety. They determine whether the children had asthma current seven years analyzing records of doctor visits, hospitalizations and medicines in the year the seventh anniversary of the child, and she related to the suffering mother, as defined by the doctor visits, hospitalizations and medications for depression or anxiety. Maternal distress was categorized according to onset and duration into four categories: in distress, postpartum distress only, short-term distress and long-term distress. Maternal distress was ranked in onset and duration in four categories: no pain, anguish post only, short-term and long-term anguish distress.<br /><br />"Unlike existing studies that have measured maternal stress during the first few years only, the longitudinal nature of our health care study enabled us to characterize maternal distress over time to identify whether it continued," said Dr. Kozyrskyj. "Contrary to existing studies that have measured maternal stress during the early years only, the nature of our health longitudinal study allowed us to characterize maternal danger in the long term to identify if it continued," said Dr. Kozyrskyj.<br /><br />Even after controlling for the known risk factors of male gender, maternal asthma, urban location and total health care visits, long-term maternal stress was associated with an increase of nearly a third in the prevalence childhood asthma. Even after controlling for risk factors known male, maternal asthma, urban location and visits total health, long-term maternal stress was associated with an increase of almost a third in childhood asthma prevalence. This is the first study of a non-high-risk cohort of children to report an association with childhood asthma.

The study also found that children with asthma were more likely to experiment with tobacco and to be exposed to tobacco smoke than children without asthma.<br /><br />"Tobacco use and asthma are more prevalent among poor and minority populations, most often found in inter-city areas," said lead researcher Dr. Salvatore Mangione, an associate professor of medicine at Jefferson Medical College. "If a child grows up in a household with smokers, that child is much more likely to experiment with tobacco. Tobacco exposure, whether active or passive, is a major trigger for asthma and asthma is a known cause of absenteeism in children, which can, in turn, lead to worse academic performance."<br /><br />Researchers from Jefferson Medical College examined the relationship between tobacco exposure and experimentation, and asthma prevalence among 6,727 middle school students attending 65 Philadelphia public schools. Of the students surveyed, 6,006 students attended schools managed by the Philadelphia School District (PSD), while 721 students attended the lowest academic performing schools in the PSD managed by the private organization, Edison, Inc. Overall, 23.7 percent of PSD children and 24.5 percent of Edison children reported having asthma. Among children with asthma, home exposure to environmental smoke was reported by 73.2 percent of Edison children and 64.5 percent of PSD children.<br /><br />Overall experimentation with smoking was reported by 31 percent of Edison and 24.1 percent of PSD children. Results also showed a significantly higher percentage of tobacco experimentation among children with asthma in both school districts. In PSD children, 24.1 percent of asthmatics and 20.5 percent of nonasthmatics reported tobacco experimentation, while Edison school children reported 31 percent and 23.2 percent, respectively. Children with asthma were also more exposed to secondhand smoke than children without asthma.<br /><br />"Many parents and family members who smoke do not realize how tobacco exposure can impact a child's respiratory health," said Dr. Mangione. "School-based programs are needed to educate parents and children on the dangers of tobacco exposure and experimentation and their adverse effects on asthma and other respiratory conditions."<br /><br />"Asthma is the primary reason for hospitalization and absenteeism in school children," said Dr. Richard S. Irwin, president of the American College of Chest Physicians. "With tobacco exposure as a major trigger of asthma, it is important for physicians to offer smoking cessation counseling to patients who smoke and to educate those who continue smoking on the effects that tobacco exposure has on the health of their children and other family members."<br />(www.nbc10.com)<br /></div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-56475470547512732392008-08-28T11:11:00.000+07:002008-08-28T11:14:24.522+07:00A guide on asthma in children (Asthma and children)<div style="text-align: justify;">A guide on asthma in children (Asthma and children)<br /><br />to school every detail about their asthma child. Remember that tobacco smoke may worsen asthma. Parents should not smokers smoking near babies and children (and not allow other smokers to).In addition to trigger asthma attacks in some children, the smoke of the cigarette may also increase the risk.<br /><br />A guide on asthma in children ! Asthma and children<br />As in other Western countries, in Australia the number of asthmatic children has increased. With an average of one in four children and one in every seven adolescents with the disorder, more parents have Now to face the fact that the children be an asthmatic.<br />It may be worrying for parents when the diagnosis is done and may be afraid that the child will never Tuesday a normal life, not knowing how to control and face an asthma attack.<br /><br />One of the best ways to control the asthma, according with the "Asthma NSW," an organization that provides education and support for asthmatics and their families, is inform - is as much as possible about the disorder and how control over it. Here are some good advice of that organization on how to recognize the symptoms of asthma, and how to proceed when the diagnosis is made.<br />Signs that indicate the existence of asthma. People those suffering from asthma have sensitive airways. When exposed to certain factors of triggers such as colds and flu, changes of time, exercise, smoking of cigarettes,coat of dust mites or animals, for example, inland Respiratory narrow, making it difficult to breath. Although the best known symptom is the noise characteristic of asthma the breath, other signs may include coughing that increases the night or after excercício physical, constriction of the chest or difficulty breathing. If a child cough during the night, either regularly or when constipada is to consult the doctor.<br /><br />What if the doctor diagnose asthma? Treatment for asthma is always to improve, and children with asthma can lead a normal life, since the disorder is controlled.<br />Controlling the asthma in children. Asthma can control up well with medication and avoiding the factors of triggers the attacks. The medication includes preventive medicines administered daily to reduce the sensitivity of airways, and for other relief that facilitate breathing when a child has the symptoms characteristic. The Council Asthma NSW the organization is to find a doctor who has special interest in asthma - friends or professionals of local health, as pharmacists and staff of community health centers can experience a doctor in your area. Request information on the best way to treat the asthma at home, which should include medication needed to control asthma, how to recognise the signs that asthma is getting worse, and what to do in case of attack. If the child to stay with asthma after making exercise, ask your doctor to explain how proceed. Do not be afraid to ask questions (if facilitates write a list of questions they want).<br /><br />Mark a prolonged consultation if you want to do many questions.<br />Make sure the school is prepared to children asthmatic. Many schools are prepared to deal with asthmatic children. But not accepted this as a fact sure. The questions you should do in school are as follows:<br />staff has been trained to treat an asthma attack? A school maintains a register of students with asthma, including<br />details of medication needed? There is a case first-aid to asthma, with specific medication for an emergency? Also be sure.</div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-62378743232922518172008-08-28T11:04:00.002+07:002008-09-03T08:12:21.712+07:00Ascariasis and asthma in children<div style="text-align: justify;">Ascariasis and asthma in children 2 to 10 years in an outlying neighborhood<br />Asthma and ascariasis in children aged two to ten living in a low income suburb<br /><br />Asthma is a chronic disease very common in children, translated by episodes of wheezing lungs, and their severity is increasing in several countries mundo1. As you know, genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor, but many others involved, such as environmental factors, diet, smoking, industrialization and increased air pollution in major metrópoles2. The prevalence of asthma in Brazil has been estudada3, using a standardized questionnaire of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC). In children of Recife, Salvador, Sao Paulo, Curitiba and Porto Alegre, the prevalence of "wheezing ever" ranged from 39.0% to 47.0% 4.<br /><br />On the other hand, ascariasis is one of the most common parasites in Brazil, especially in rural areas, where they were observed prevalence of 74.8% and 75.2% respectively, in Lucena & Magalhaes Neto and Pereira et al. In Pernambuco5. In another population of Campina Grande, with similar social characteristics, Pereira et al.11 found prevalence of ascariasis of 54.2%. Also in the Northeast, in the large cities (Recife), with the occupation of the chaotic urban peripheries, without basic health structure, it is believed that the significant increase occurring enteroparasitoses, with prevalence of 56% to 76.8% 5.<br /><br />The possible association between asthma and ascariasis was proposed by Lynch et al. (1998), studying two groups of children in the same socioeconomic level, and with equal exposure to helminths, differentiating them only by the prevalence of asma6. Despite the same conditions of life, the intensity of parasitic infection was higher among children not allergic. In anterior7 work, it was observed that in endemic areas of ascariasis and after treatment with anti-helmínticos, there is reduction in serum total IgE and IL - 4, in contrast to the elevation of serum levels of IgE specific, and the reactivity in people allergic skin.<br /><br />Despite the medical and social relevance of asthma and ascariasis in population of Brazilian children, was not found any other study showing whether or not these two offenses to the association health. In Campina Grande (CP), the high frequencies of these disorders led the study of the association between asthma and ascariasis described in literature 6, 7.<br /><br /></div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-74218505713995153762008-08-27T15:50:00.001+07:002008-08-27T15:53:38.758+07:00All of Allergy on the dogs and the pet dog<div style="text-align: justify;">The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology or the AAAAI estimates that approximately 10 million of pet lovers or owners of a pet in the United States are allergic to animals skin. "<br /><br />More and more houses in the country are adopting a dog or protecting the pet, which is considered the best friend of man even the time of ancient civilization.<br /><br />The dogs are canines that are perceived as intelligent and trainable among all other animals. We see dogs overall, in the movies, in cartoons, on television (remember the Lassie?), And even in the high-security areas such as malls. In the latter case, the dogs are trained to sniff bombs, drugs and other illegal substances in the surroundings.<br /><br />The world is one of `dog eat dog of the world 'and you can even find truthful if you are allergic to dogs.<br /><br />Dog allergies and allergies in the cat and similarities contrastá them<br />However, there are more cases reported or more diagnosed with allergies to cat allergies than all of the dog throughout the world because the cats are more inclined to spread their danders its session grooming or bathing is normal and constant friccionando the saliva all over his body .<br /><br />The allergy the dog can be found in people with specific allergies to dog fur and those with a history of asthma. The Asthma is another reaction caused by exposure to allergens and allergy-causing substances.<br /><br />The modern science and recent findings indicate that the people who were exposed to one or other cats and dogs when they were infants unlikely want to develop the allergy of the cat or the dog. It is because their immune system get accustomed danders the two animals' in an advanced stage.<br /><br />Take also the observation that the people who developed the allergy of the cat or the dog grew up in homes where there was no cat or dog around. Start asking now, or likely, start looking at yourself or someone you know. The assumption is accurate, right?<br /><br />Symptoms of allergy the dog<br />Just as in any other form of allergy, symptoms or the manifestation of allergy the dog include wheezing, coughing, itchy eyes and / or teary or aqueous and constant sneezing.<br /><br />The attacks of severe allergy the dog may be indicated by the difficulty in breathing, which is similar to a severe attack of asthma. If left untreated, a person's life could be in danger.<br /><br />But remember, treatments for asthma and other allergies, including allergy treatments are only the dog or apaziguadores. There are meanings and may not ensure the long-term cures.<br /><br />The Allergies are not curable, they are only treatable. Hence, the allergy the dog was treated successfully reoccur if the person or the patient himself if expuserem again to the skin or the danders of the dog.<br /><br />Treatment and vacancy<br />The best treatment is always prevention. As they say, one ounces of prevention is far better than pounds of cure. So is the example of the dog allergies.<br /><br />To treat the dog allergies, the patient must be recommended that dogs should avoid coming to begin or cuddling. With this, the allergy the dog can be successfully controlled or curtailed.<br /><br />But if the basic measure of prevention is ineffective, the patient will have to take antihistamines, decongestants and corticosteroids. The Antihistamines are the common drugs made during the examination asthma or allergy attacks from the other.<br /><br />The areas most decongest the breathing tubes or the body of Decongestants in swellness reducing the tissue so that relieve nasal breathing.<br /><br />The Corticosteroids in one hand, are the drugs which reduce or eliminate the inflammation of organs or tissue in the body that may result from the beginning of the dog allergy.</div>jozzikwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11275602029218103831noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577616646984925326.post-51882506799479406642008-08-27T12:01:00.000+07:002008-08-27T12:02:13.176+07:00Prevention of asthma and allergy<div style="text-align: justify;">The cockroaches are one of the most pests found in HOME annoyances. Causing damage to the food, to the spot and furniture to books, and can be a health hazard for people with asthma. The studies showed a strong association between the presence of cockroaches and the increase of symptoms of asthma and allergy. The cockroaches infest the entire structure, clean or not, to escape the extreme time and to find the food and water. Using techniques of prevention, treatment with pesticides, and a good clean-up later help reduce the risk of an attack of asthma.<br /><br />The proteins found in saliva and droppings of cheap are what causes attacks in people with asthma. Another trigger is caused by what some researchers are called dust of cheap. The dust of cheap is found in the body deteriorate and the body parts of dead cockroaches.<br /><br />Starting rid of the cockroaches you must eliminate all sources of food and water in their kitchen. Clean the kitchen before going to bed because the cheap seek food in the evening. Use a small can of garbage in your kitchen that requires the bag be emptied each night. Put away the food from a pet for the night and seal up all the containers of pet food. Do not leave the food out in counters in the wash dishes and not outside the blast contrary to remove all the crumbs. Sweep and scrub the floor of the kitchen. Eliminate sources of water draining heat sink and the cleaning up of all the water around the heat sink.<br /><br />The cockroaches can be loaded within or may find its own way within your HOME. Inspect bags, boxes, furniture, and the books before you bring us into. Sele cracks on the outside of his foundation HOME on and around the doors and windows outside with calafete. Areas of draught or seal with foam around the wiring and plumbing that provides an opening around its HOME.
