Energetic kids talk excitedly in the school's hall outside their classrooms. A few of them, dressed in uniforms of dark green pants and plaid jumpers, run up and down the hallway, drawing the warning. It's hard to tell on this December day, but at least one out of 6 of these kids has asthma. They live in the "worst of the worst" part of the District of Columbia when it comes to asthma. A community survey done over the summer found the River Terrace neighborhood, in Northeast D.C., has the high asthma rate in a city with the highest asthma rate in the country.

147. Asthma Basics Over 15 million people have asthma in the United States. Did you missing school? Learn all about asthma in this article for parents. http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/lungs/asthma_basics.html

KidsHealth Parents Medical Problems Take a long, deep breath - right now. Inhale slowly, until your lungs can't hold anymore . . . now let the air out gradually . . . ahhh. Breathing feels so natural that it's easy to take for granted, isn't it? Normally, the air you breathe travels effortlessly through your nose and mouth, down the trachea (also called the "windpipe"), through the bronchial tubes into the lungs, and finally to tiny clusters of air sacs, called alveoli. Here, oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide in your blood. Now try something different: run in place for three minutes. Then place a straw in your mouth, close your lips around it, and try to breathe in and out only through the straw . Not so easy anymore, is it? Now, narrow the straw by pinching it in the middle. Even more difficult to breathe? That's what it feels like when a child tries to breathe during an asthma flare (commonly called an "attack"). During a flare, the airways narrow and become obstructed, making it difficult for air to move through them. Asthma can be very scary (and when not controlled, it can be life-threatening). Over 15 million people have asthma in the U.S. Did you know it's the number-one reason for kids chronically missing school? And asthma flares are the most common reason for pediatric emergency room visits due to a chronic illness. Some kids have only mild, occasional symptoms or only show symptoms after exercising. Others have severe asthma that, left untreated, can dramatically limit how active they are and cause changes in lung function.

Asthma Research Unit The aim of the Unit is to produce high quality research in the treatment and management of patients with asthma. Until such a time as the laboratories produce a "cure" for asthma, we believe it is work such as ours that can best benefit the patient. By educating medical staff through dissemination of our findings we can help ensure that all patients with asthma receive the best possible care. The Unit is supported by colleagues from different University departments including the Department of Applied Computing Department of Child Health at Ninewells Department of Mathematics , Department of Respiratory Medicine and the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health The Unit carries out work on behalf of the General Practitioners Airways Group , a network of GP's from throughout Britain with a special interest in the care of patients with asthma, and is funded through grants awarded by charitable, government organisations and industrial sponsors.

ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonials Asthma is a chronic disease of the lungs and airways that affects an estimated 14 million to 17 million people in the United States. Severe asthma is a serious health concern that can lead to respiratory failure and death. Asthma kills an estimated 5000 people a year in the United States and as many as 470,000 seek hospital treatment for asthma symptoms. Despite its prevalence, experts differ in the definition of the disease. Clinical authorities typically favor a broad, comprehensive definition. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute , for example, defines asthma as: "a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways (which) causes recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing, particularly at night or in the early morning usually associated with widespread but variable airflow obstruction that is often reversible, either spontaneously or with treatment." Organizations geared primarily toward the informational needs of patients usually promote, simpler, more "user-friendly" definitions. The

Published January 22, 2003 Mani S. Kavuru, MD Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine David M. Lang, MD Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Serpil C. Erzurum, MD Departments of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine and Cancer Biology Print Chapter The Cleveland Clinic Foundation Although much progress has been made in our understanding of bronchial asthma over the past decade, asthma remains a frequently encountered condition challenging physicians in the office setting as well as in acute care settings. Although the 1980s and 1990s have been characterized by increases in asthma morbidity and mortality, the most recent data indicates a plateauing of these trends. This review of asthma for the practicing clinician will summarize these developments, including an updated definition of asthma, review of the epidemiology and natural history, and current thinking regarding etiology and pathogenesis. In addition, there will be an update on the diagnostic evaluation of comorbid disease, serial monitoring of asthma, and the most recent update of the expert panel guidelines and management algorithms. The authors will offer a critique of these guidelines, including their limitations. Finally, there will be discussion of newer therapies for the future.

Asthma Information is a free online resource for those who wish to learn more about asthma. Topics that we will cover include asthma treatments, triggers, attacks, management, and more. Let's begin with the basics... Asthma is a disease in which the airways in the lung become highly sensitive to environmental irritants such that they tend to be easily narrowed and sometimes even blocked. When airways narrow (known as bronchoconstriction), it becomes more difficult to move air in and out of the lungs, hence difficulty breathing. Currently, doctors do not know exactly why airways in some people become more sensitive to environmental factors. What is known, however, is that the walls of airways of an asthmatic person are inflamed to some extent all of the time. The airways are inflamed, swollen, and lined with thick mucus.
