Terming asthma as under-diagnosed and under-treated, the federal government issued new guidelines yesterday that recommend prompt, aggressive treatment for this common respiratory condition. An estimated 14 million Americans — including nearly 5 million children — suffer the wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and cough that characterize asthma, according to the latest government figures. Asthma claims 5,000 lives each year. What troubles researchers is that the incidence of asthma has increased in geometric proportions over the past decade.

One must distinguish between the disease, asthma and acute asthma attack differ.
The complaints with asthma depend primarily on the severity of the disease. The following symptoms may occur: Shortness of breath and shortness of breath (often occurring as)
Whistling, hissing sound when breathing (wheezing) Coughing fits, especially during the night, with a tough-ejection glassy mucus These symptoms can occur individually or together. The frequency and intensity depend on the severity of the disease. If you always occurs cough or persistent cough for more than three weeks, you should be prescribed by doctors examined.

With an asthma attack are also shortness of breath, coughing and breathing whistling to the complaints but more intense. In addition, the following symptoms: Bluish colored skin and the respiratory snap Inflated chest with raised shoulders Exhaustion to the inability to talk
Anxiety Confusion and restlessness Heart Hunt Decreasing effect of the emergency sprays (which the doctor administered drugs but retain their effect) If the asthma attack is not treated, it can be in a so-called status asthmatikus go. This is a severe, life threatening asthma attack, over hours to days without interruption persists. A patient in status asthmaticus need immediately in a hospital intensive medical care.

Asthma is caused by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors that researchers do not yet fully understand. These factors can also affect the severity of a person’s asthma is and how well they respond to medication. As with other complex diseases, many genetic and environmental factors have been suggested as causes of asthma, but not all studies show that such claims have been verified by further studies. Moreover, as researchers detangle the complex causes of asthma, it is increasingly clear that genetic and environmental factors may affect asthma only when combined.

Many environmental risk factors are associated with the development of asthma and morbidity in children, but some stand out as well and played with a meta-analysis of several studies in support of its direct association.

Snuff environmental smoke, especially maternal smoking is associated with an increased risk of asthma prevalence and morbidity from asthma, wheezing, respiratory infections.Poor and air quality, pollution or traffic in high concentrations of ozone has been repeatedly associated with increased morbidity from asthma and has an association with asthma, suggested that development requires more research.

Caesarean sections are associated with asthma compared with vaginal delivery, a meta-analysis found a 20% increase in the prevalence of asthma in children by cesarean section compared with those who were not. It was suggested that this is due to the exposure of bacteria modified during cesarean section compared with vaginal delivery, which modifies the immune system (as described by the hygiene hypothesis).

Psychological stress has long been suspected of being a trigger for asthma, but only in recent decades convincing evidence has substantiated this hypothesis. Directly rather than stress that causes asthma, it is believed that stress modulates the immune system to increase the magnitude of the inflammatory response of airways to allergens and irritants.

Viral respiratory infections at an early age with his siblings and day care exposure may protect against asthma, although there have been controversial results, and this may depend on genetic protection context. The use of antibiotics early in life has been linked to the development of asthma in several examples, it is believed that antibiotics can make to the development of asthma, and to modify the intestinal flora and thus the immune system (as described the hygiene hypothesis). The hygiene hypothesis is a hypothesis about the cause of asthma and other allergic diseases, and is supported by epidemiological data for asthma. For example, the prevalence of asthma has increased in developed countries, together with increased use of antibiotics, c-sections, and cleaning products. All these things may affect the exposure to the beneficial bacteria and other immune modulators that are important for development and, therefore, may cause increased risk for asthma and allergies.
