The links between the cellular and molecular mechanisms, the pathology, the physiological abnormalities, and symptoms are still not well understood. This is complicated by the fact that there is heterogeneity of the disease, with some patients showing a predominant emphysema pattern, whereas in others...

the development common symptoms of asthma [7,24]. Moreover, IL-4 contributes to polarize T-naïve cells to the Th2 cells, therefore further enhancing the entire Th-2-mediated inflammatory response [42]. Other relevant activities of IL-4 in the asthma pathogenesis are the induction of VCAM...
Dyspnea, defined here as an uncomfortable or unpleasant sensation of breathing, is a common symptom in patients with cardiopulmonary disorders. Few symptoms are more distressing to patients than dyspnea. Unfortunately, in all too many patients, treatment of the underlying condition causing dyspnea is ...
Patients may report symptoms like itching, dry eyes, foreign body sensation, excessive tearing, or mattering, especially upon awakening. Dr Yeu sees demodex blepharitis most often in her older cataract surgery patients but also in her laser-assisted in LASIK patients. She notes that contact lens ...
10. Depending on the site and degree of tracheal/bronchial stenoses, it can be asymptomatic or present with non-specific respiratory symptoms (e.g. chronic cough, sputum production, hemoptysis, and dyspnea on exertion) for long before diagnosis and most patients were identified incidentally during...

Another is heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, where the squeezing function is relatively normal, but there is an impairment of relaxation that causes the pressure in the heart chambers to increase. The cardinal symptoms that we think about for heart failure are fatigue, shortness of ...
