This means the pressure in the blood vessels from the heart to the lungs is too high, which causes excess muscle in the wall of the blood vessels. It’s a common and serious complication of COPD. Symptoms include breathlessness and tiredness that typically get worse with exercise or sleep. ...
2020). Cytokine storm not only eliminates pathogenic microorganisms but also causes host tissue damage affecting a wide variety of organs including the brain (Tang et al. 2020), contributing to the death of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients (Qin et al. 2020). Recent findings have shown that SARS-...
Clinical characterization and possible pathophysiological causes of the Deventilation Syndrome in COPDIn daily routine, many COPD patients report early onset augmented dyspnea following use of NIV (Deventilation Syndrome, DVS) as a negative side-effect. The aim of this study is the clinical ...
This inhibitory action could then be of particular importance in COVID-19 since people with COPD are among the worst affected by Sars-Cov-2 infection. Therefore, besides viral attachment and entry, also viral uncoating, genome release, protein maturation process and assembly of new virions for ...
it is believed that it causes cellular and hormonal changes. The key is that the frequency of the color may be transmitted to the area of the body which recognizes it. The frequency, or vibration, of the color is constant. The vibration can "tune" that area of the body. In other words...
Thankfully, scientists and doctors have a far greater understanding of the different biological causes of asthma and the importance of an individualised approach today. They now know that not all asthma is the same, and that the underlying drivers of symptoms and exacerbations vary from person to...
The underlying causes of abnormal liver biochemistries in COVID-19 affectees may be due to immune-mediated inflammatory responses, drug-induced liver injury (DILI), hepatic ischemia, extrahepatic release of aminotransferases, and possible direct cytopathic effects of the viral infection on hepatocytes ...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents one of the main causes of death worldwide. It affects hundreds of millions of people and is likely to spread further in the coming years. Despite the chronic nature of the disease and the proven efficacy of current therapies, treatment ...

•Leukotriene receptor antagonist, such as montelukast and zafirlukast, is used in asthma, COPD, and allergic rhinitis. • Montelukast is the most prescribed CysLT1antagonist used in asthmatic patients. • Different in vivo animal studies have shown that leukotriene receptor antagonists can prev...
