Early warning signs are changes that happen just before or at the very beginning of an asthma attack. These signs may start before the well-known symptoms of asthma and are the earliest signs that your asthma is worsening. In general, these signs are not severe enough to stop you from goin...
An asthma attack is a sudden worsening ofasthma symptomscaused by the tightening of muscles around your airways. This tightening is called a bronchospasm. During the asthma attack, the lining of the airways also becomes swollen or inflamed and thicker mucus -- more than normal -- is produced. ...
Asthma is one of the most dreaded diseases affecting a huge number of people worldwide. The most effective way to prevent its occurrence is by predicting it at an early stage. In this paper, we propose a noninvasive, easy to use, inexpensive prognostic asthma monitoring device to prevent ...
Evidence Indicates Initial Bronchial Asthma Attack Occurs in Early ChildhoodA study of more than 100 patients younger than 14 years of age showed that 45% had had bronchial asthma by 2 years of age. Initial allergenic manifestations began in 49% by 3 months of age—nearly one half of these ...
mmHg, 6- pH ≤ 7.30, and 7- Patients were excluded from the study if they met any of the following criteria: Patients who required immediate reintubation within four hours after extubation, history of asthma, a restrictive pattern on spirometry (FEV1 less than 80% and FEV1/FVC greater than...
Prenatal factors have also been associated with increased risks for certain diseases such as asthma10, similar to well-characterized genetic risk factors for several diseases11. An understanding of the changes in the serum proteome during early life is therefore important when trying to distinguish ...
A single sensor-based, inexpensive, and easy-to-adopt asthma attack predictor has been presented. The sensor, fitted inside a breathing mask, tracks the respiration temperature. The temperature pattern is processed by a set of simple algorithms, embedded in an Arduino-UNO controller, to calculate...
