Management of asthma exacerbations
Clinical Cornerstone, 1998The 1997 Expert Panel Report 2 from the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program* details principles and goals for managing asthma exacerbations, based on scientific literature and the opinion of the panel. The panel's recommendations are summarized here, along with approaches to the evaluation and management of patients with asthma ...

The mechanisms of COPD exacerbation are complex. Respiratory viruses (in particular rhinovirus) and bacteria play a major role in the causative etiology of COPD exacerbations. In some patients, noninfective environmental factors may also be important.

Acute exacerbation of macroglossia
British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2005We report the case of a large venous malformation of the tongue, preventing the patient from being able to contain it within the oral cavity. The extent of the malformation precluded a complete surgical excision. The immediate problems were; impending airway compromise, inability to speak, eat or drink, severe discomfort due to exposure-induced dryness

Antidepressant exacerbation of spasticity
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1999Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) may develop depression. This may be related to adjustment to living with an SCI in addition to dealing with complications of the injury, such as spasticity. Pharmacologic treatment of depression can be difficult because of neurochemical and receptor changes that are associated with SCI. Newer antidepressant agents

Exacerbation of Parkinsonism by Tacrine
Clinical Neuropharmacology, 1992A patient with Alzheimer's disease and mild features of parkinsonism was treated with tacrine. Tremor and gait dysfunction worsened but responded to the addition of levodopa without adversely affecting cognitive function. The implications for experimental treatment strategies of patients with combined Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease are discussed.

Viruses in asthma exacerbations
Current Opinion in Internal Medicine, 2005Respiratory viruses are well recognized as major triggers of acute exacerbations of asthma in children and adults, resulting in frequent outpatients visits and hospitalizations. Clinical and epidemiologic evidence supports this association. The application of molecular diagnostic methods has improved understanding of viral epidemiology and the ...

• The contemporary definition of an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is an event in the natural course of the disease characterized by a change in the patient’s baseline dyspnoea, cough, and/or sputum beyond the day-to-day variability sufficient to warrant a change in management.

A task force of the American Thoracic Society has defined work-exacerbated asthma (WEA) as the worsening of asthma caused by conditions at work. Occupational asthma (OA) is asthma that is initiated by occupational exposures in people without prior asthma. In contrast, WEA is asthma (already present or coincident [new onset]) that is worsened because of
