  • Adult-onset asthma

    Understanding the key reason of adult-onset asthma and identifying unique phenotypes may help in better understanding of pathophysiology and treatment response, allowing people to better focus current and future treatments for individualised management. The asthma that de  Read More

  • Asthma in children

    In childhood asthma, the lungs and airways become easily inflamed when exposed to certain triggers, such as inhaling pollen or catching a cold or other respiratory infection. Childhood asthma can cause bothersome daily symptoms that interfere with play, sports, school and sleep. In some children, unmanaged asthma can cause dangerous asthma attacks. Childhood asthma isn't a different disease from asth  Read More

  • Bocavirus infection

    Bocavirus is a virus that causes the common cold and other respiratory infections. Cold, fever, runny nose, and cough are the most common symptoms. It can also cause gastroenteritis, or stomach flu, which can cause severe stomach and intestine irritation and inflammation. Human bocavirus has been detected all over the world. The most common are paediatric cases. The bocavirus is frequently found in conjunction with other respiratory viruses. T  Read More

  • Bronchitis (acute)

    Bronchitis is an infection that causes irritation and inflammation in the lungs' major airways (bronchi). Bronchitis is divided into two types: acute and chronic. Chronic bronchitis is a long-term condition that can reoccur. Long-term stress, such as smoking, is usually the cause. Acute bronchitis is only temporary. Most cases resolve within a few days, but the cough may last for several weeks. The airways on each side of your windpipe connect  Read More

  • Chronic bronchitis

    Chronic Bronchitis is a type of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). COPD is a lung infection and disease that can make breathing difficult and progressively worsen over time. Other than COPD, the most common type of COPD is emphysema. The majority of COPD patients have both emphysema and chronic bronchitis, but the severity of each varies from person to person. Chronic bronchitis causes the bronchial tubes to become inflamed  Read More

  • Copd (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

    COPD is a chronic lung disease that results in obstructed airflow from the lungs. Asthmatics have difficulty breathing, cough, cough up mucus (sputum), and wheeze. It is most commonly caused by long-term exposure to irritating particles or gases, such as cigarette smoke. COPD patients are more likely to develop heart disease, lung cancer, and a variety of other health problems. COPD is frequently caused by emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COP  Read More

  • Emphysema

    Emphysema is a lung disease that usually develops after a long period of smoking. Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are both types of lung disorders that are classified as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (COPD). COPD is an umbrella term for a group of lung disorders that make breathing difficult and worsen over time. The other major type of COPD is chronic bronchitis. The majority of COPD patients have both emphysema and chronic br  Read More

  • Loeffler's disease

    Loeffler's disease is a transient respiratory illness associated with the higher production of a type of disease-fighting white blood cell usually called eosinophils in the lungs.  Loeffler's disease or syndrome is also recognized as Transient Pulmonary Infiltrate with Eosinophilia Syndrome. This syndrome involves the regulation of eosinophils in the lungs in response to a parasite infection. In th  Read More

  • Sarcoid of boeck

    The sarcoid of boeck (sarcoidosis) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect any organ in the body, but most often involves the skin and lungs.  Sarcoid of boeck is characterized by the formation of small, round bumps (nodules) under the skin and in the lungs.  This condition was first described in the medical literature in 1869 by a German physician named Carl Boeck. It is also sometimes  Read More

  • Secondhand smoke

    Secondhand smoke is the combination of smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke exhaled by the smoker. It is dangerous to both smokers and nonsmokers. Secondhand smoke contains more than 7000 chemicals, including 70 that can cause cancer. Nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for lung cancer, heart disease, and other respiratory illnesses. Pregnant women who are exposed  Read More
