Asthma is an important and increasingly prevalent respiratory disease. Its proper diagnosis and treatment lie at the heart of improving asthma outcome. Unfortunately, asthma has many faces and is affected by many variables, many of them difficult to control. Like many chronic illnesses, asthma tends to affect the poor and less advantaged individuals in

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2015 Asthma is the most common inflammatory disease of the lungs. The prevalence of asthma is increasing in many parts of the world that have adopted aspects of the Western lifestyle, and the disease poses a substantial global health and economic burden. Asthma involves both the large-conducting and the small-conducting airways, and is characterized by a ...

Inflammation plays an integral role in the pathophysiology of asthma. With advances in molecular biological techniques and newer animal models, our insight into this process is advancing rapidly. A greater understanding of the interactions of the various elements of the inflammatory response and their interactions is thus evolving. This progress in our

This article is a comprehensive review of asthma that discusses risk factors, diagnosis, and management. Guidelines for choosing appropriate asthma therapy are discussed. Key aspects of patient education are described. Reasons for the failure of asthma therapy with potential remedies are presented. Regular follow-up for good asthma care is emphasized.

Asthma is one of the commonest chronic diseases of affluent societies. The striking increase in prevalence of asthma over recent decades and the rarity of this disease in less affluent populations confirms the importance of environmental factors in the cause of asthma--although which environmental factors are responsible is still not clear.

Asthma is a heterogeneous group of conditions that result in recurrent, reversible bronchial obstruction. Although the disease can start at any age, the first symptoms occur during childhood in most cases. Asthma has a strong genetic component, and genome-wide association studies have identified variations in several genes that slightly increase the ...
