Asthma (J45)
Clinical Information for Asthma (J45)
Airway Remodeling - The structural changes in the number, mass, size and/or composition of the airway tissues.
Asthma - A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (RESPIRATORY HYPERSENSITIVITY), airway INFLAMMATION, and intermittent AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, WHEEZING, and dyspnea (DYSPNEA, PAROXYSMAL).
Asthma, Aspirin-Induced - Asthmatic adverse reaction (e.g., BRONCHOCONSTRICTION) to conventional NSAIDS including aspirin use.
Asthma, Exercise-Induced - Asthma attacks following a period of exercise. Usually the induced attack is short-lived and regresses spontaneously. The magnitude of postexertional airway obstruction is strongly influenced by the environment in which exercise is performed (i.e. inhalation of cold air during physical exertion markedly augments the severity of the airway obstruction; conversely, warm humid air blunts or abolishes it).
Asthma, Occupational - Asthma attacks caused, triggered, or exacerbated by OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE.
Asthma-Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Overlap Syndrome - Syndrome with clinical features of both ASTHMA and COPD.
Conyza - A plant genus of the family ASTERACEAE. Members contain alkenynes, daucosterol, friedelinol, conyzasaponins and other TRITERPENES.
Dyspnea, Paroxysmal - A disorder characterized by sudden attacks of respiratory distress in at rest patients with HEART FAILURE and PULMONARY EDEMA. It usually occurs at night after several hours of sleep in a reclining position. Patients awaken with a feeling of suffocation, coughing, a cold sweat, and TACHYCARDIA. When there is significant WHEEZING, it is called cardiac asthma.
Status Asthmaticus - A sudden intense and continuous aggravation of a state of asthma, marked by dyspnea to the point of exhaustion and collapse and not responding to the usual therapeutic efforts.
Tylophora - A plant genus of the family ASCLEPIADACEAE. Members contain phenanthro-indolizidine alkaloids.
