It affects all age groups from infants to senior citizens, and mortality rates from asthma appear to be increasing during the past few years in the United States as well as in other industrialized countries.

Abstract Forty-one patients in status asthmaticus had hypoxaemia without hypercapnia and severe obstructive and restrictive ventilatory impairment. The extent of the hypoxaemia was closely related to the restrictive but not to the obstructive ventilatory impairment.

A fundamental question may be proposed. Does the higher frequency of asthmatic deaths mean an increase in the severity of the asthma? Many authors think it possible. Alexander5 describes three epochs in the evolution of the frequency of these deaths.

Although the word asthma is popularly associated with wheezing in general, bronchial asthma, in our opinion, is an allergic disease, with generalized wheezing, dyspnea, orthopnea, and cough, usually associated with seasonal or perennial rhinitis. The wheezing is due to partial obstruction caused chiefly by edema and mucus.

Bronchial Thermoplasty for Asthma
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2006Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) reduces the potential for smooth muscle-mediated bronchoconstriction by reducing the mass of smooth muscle in the walls of conducting airways.This study was conducted to examine the safety and impact on lung function and airway responsiveness of BT over 2 yr.The safety of BT was studied in 16 subjects with mild to moderate ...

Asthmatic patients constitute up to 5% of admissions to medical wards in our area. Analysis of 1099 adult asthmatic admissions over a 3-year period showed that Malays composed 31% of patients (expected 23%), Indians composed 36% (expected 31%) and Chinese only 32% (expected 46%).

A CLASSIFICATION OF BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1955To the Editor:— The statement "All that wheezes is asthma" has evoked a great deal of controversy for many years. It was Laennec, in 1819, who identified asthma as a specific disease characterized by paroxysmal dyspnea without demonstrable associated organic lesions.
