ASSESSMENT OF ASTHMA MANAGEMENT: EXPLORING KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES, AND PRACTICES AMONG PATIENTS IN A TERTIARY CARE SETTING

Journal of Population Therapeutics and Clinical Pharmacology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 8, 2025

This cross-sectional study explores the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to asthma among 430 patients in a tertiary care setting, utilizing convenience sampling technique. The assessed participants' understanding of asthma, including knowledge about general information, signs symptoms, risk factors, as well their attitudes regarding management. analysis revealed significant variations based on education level, with higher correlating better more positive attitudes. mean rank varied significantly across educational levels (p = 0.000), postgraduates showing highest ranks attitude, practices. Correlations between asthma-related were observed, particularly factors (r 0.230, p 0.000) overall which influenced 0.191, 0.215, 0.000). Knowledge had weak correlation 0.165, 0.001) negative -0.114, 0.018). Attitude correlated attitude also correlations 0.136, 0.005). Despite correlations, found that alone did not guarantee practices, suggesting need for comprehensive programs. results highlight importance improving patient outcomes underscore further research explore complex interactions education, socio-economic healthcare access shaping management strategies.

Oxidative Stress in Pediatric Asthma: Sources, Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Potential of Antioxidants

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 30(2)

Опубликована: Фев. 19, 2025

Pediatric asthma is a common respiratory condition in children, characterized by complex interplay of environmental and genetic factors. Evidence shows that the airways stimulated asthmatic patients have increased oxidative stress, but exact mechanisms through which this stress contributes to progression are not fully understood. Oxidative originates from inflammatory cells airways, producing significant amounts reactive oxygen species (ROS) nitrogen (RNS). External factors such as cigarette smoke, particulate matter, atmospheric pollutants also contribute ROS RNS levels. The accumulation these disrupts cellular redox balance, leading heightened activates signaling pathways modulates release factors, worsening inflammation. Therefore, understanding sources impacts pediatric crucial developing antioxidant-based treatments. This review examines children with asthma, role development, potential antioxidants therapeutic strategy for asthma.

Preclinical Evaluation of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to Predict Poor Control of Chronic Respiratory Diseases in Primary Care: A Novel Approach to Focus Our Efforts

Journal of Clinical Medicine, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(18), С. 5609 - 5609

Опубликована: Сен. 21, 2024

Background/Objectives: Managing chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) within the Spanish Sistema Nacional de Salud (SNS) presents significant challenges, particularly due to their high prevalence poor control rates—approximately 45.1% for 63.2% COPD. This study aims develop a novel predictive model using electronic health records (EHRs) estimate likelihood of in these patients, thereby enabling more efficient management primary care settings. Methods: The Seleida project employed bioinformatics approach identify clinical variables from EHR data centers Seville Valencia. Statistically were incorporated into logistic regression predict patients with COPD patients. Key included number short-acting β-agonist (SABA) muscarinic antagonist (SAMA) canisters, prednisone courses, antibiotic courses over past year. Results: developed demonstrated accuracy, sensitivity, specificity predicting poorly controlled both These findings suggest that could serve valuable tool early identification at-risk allowing healthcare providers prioritize optimize resource allocation Conclusions: Integrating this practice enhance proactive COPD, potentially improving patient outcomes reducing burden on systems. Further validation diverse settings is warranted confirm model’s efficacy generalizability.

Speleotherapy is one of the non-pharmacological methods for treatment and rehabilitation patients with chronic respiratory diseases, especially those obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) asthma. On hand, alleged main advantages speleotherapeutic caves low microbial load in air absence other aeroallergens, but on due to lack comprehensive monitoring, there little information pristine human-influenced aerobiota such environments. The aim this study was assess anthropogenic effects speleotherapy microbiota investigate its potential impact human health Sežana Hospital Cave (Slovenia). From May 2020 January 2023, samples were collected cave before after activities using two different volumetric sampling methods—impaction impingement—to isolate airborne microbiota. Along sampling, environmental data measured (CO2, humidity, wind, temperature) explore aerobiota. While presence increased concentrations by at least 83.3%, parameters exhibited a lower or attributed seasonal changes. structure dynamics are similar show caves, indicating anthropization cave.

Tuz, sağlığa faydaları ve tedavi edici etkisi nedeniyle binlerce yıldır dünyanın farklı bölgelerinde kültürler tarafından kullanılmaktadır. Tuz madenleri mağaraların ikliminin kullanımı olan speleoterapi, özellikle astım KOAH olmak üzere birçok kronik solunum yolu hastalıklarının tedavisinde kabul görmüş ancak yaygın olarak bilinmeyen bir terapötik uygulama şeklidir. Bazı tuz madenlerinin mikro iklimi bozukluklarını olumlu yönde etkileyebileceği karmaşık rehabilitasyonu için en uygun ortam olabileceği düşünülmektedir. temel endikasyonları hastalıklarında, de hastalığı ile temsil edilmektedir. Klimaterapinin özel şekli Speleoterapi, mağaralara madenlerine özgü belirli koşulları, ciltle ilgili çeşitli tıbbi durumları etmek kullanılır. Bu, her türlü tahrişi azaltır böylece hasta madenine yerleştirilirken hastalık semptomları hafifletilir veya tamamen ortadan kaldırılır. kaynaklar Hipokrat'ın tuzlu sudan buhar solumak da dahil bazlı terapilerin semptomlarını hafiflettiğine inandığını iddia etmektedir. Roma döneminde orta çağda madencilerin nefes alışverişlerinde iyileşmeler olduğuna dair iddialar vardır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, speleoterapinin amaçlı kullanımına yönelik faydalarını tartışmaktır.
