1994 OUTGROWING ASTHMA APPEARS RARE A new study on asthma adds to the
evidence debunking a myth that children usually outgrow the common and
sometimes fatal lung disease, which is an increasing public health
problem in the United States and many other countries.The incidence of
asthma and deaths from it have risen sharply in recent years, but the
reasons are not known. For decades, doctors have told anxious parents
that their children’s symptoms of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and
difficulty in breathing… , of 2 words : 61 – 70 of 295486 | 7 8 9 0 1 2

ASTHMA DEATH RATE ON THE RISE The death rate from asthma has more than
doubled since 1978 in the United States. And worried officials of the
National Institutes of Health attribute the trend in part to the lack of
education and training of the primary-care doctors who treat the
overwhelming majority of asthmatics.Dr. Michael A. Kaliner, chief of the
allergy section at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases, did not mince words in criticizing the medical care that most
asthmatics receive and the lack… , of 6 words . Rocky Mountain News CO
- May 2, 1993 ASTHMA DEATHS UNDERESTIMATED, RESEARCHERS SAY The death
rate from asthma in the United States may be twice as high as federal
health officials have estimated, Mayo Clinic researchers report.Based on
a comparison of the medical records of Mayo patients with asthma and the
causes of death listed on their death certificates, the researchers said
fewer than half the asthma-related deaths were recorded as such. Death
certificates are used to estimate death rates. For every asthma death we
found on a death certificate, we… , of 2 words .

Lake City, UT – October 10, 1992 ENERGY-EFFICIENT MAY PLAY ROLE IN
DRAMATIC RISE IN CHILDHOOD ASTHMA Asthma rates in children ages 1 to
doubled and even tripled over 20 years in a new study, and scientists
speculated that the trend toward tightly sealed, energy-efficient may
have played a role.Making more efficient by reducing air leakage may trap
more airborne particles like cat dander inside, possibly promoting
asthma, researchers said. The study calculated asthma rates from 1964 to
1983 for residents of Rochester, Minn. The annual rate of new asthma
cases roughly tripled… , of 460 words . Chicago Sun-Times – May 4, 1992
Taking medicine allows asthmatics to exercise Asthma sufferers trying to
stay in shape often fall prey to a vicious cycle: They may have bouts of
wheezing when they exert themselves because they work out less than
people without the disease. And they may not work out as much because
they have trouble breathing.The cycle of breathlessness and lack of
exercise can be broken by taking asthma medication before working out,
according to researchers at Hospital in Canada. In their study of 27
asthma patients, the researchers found… , of 9 words . Greensboro News
