|
| But your body mounts a very exuberant response to the rhinovirus that causes exacerbations of asthma and also likely leads to airway remodeling. |
|
| We also like to think that these drugs reduce symptoms, improve exercise performance, perhaps reduce the number of exacerbations, or even modify the disease natural history. |
|
| The chronic type is the more common of the two and is marked by frequent remissions and exacerbations of symptoms. |

| One of the best ways to fight acute exacerbations is to make it hard for infections to develop. |
|
| Help to prevent symptoms and exacerbations by reducing inflammation in the airways. |
|
| Exercise can cause asthma exacerbations because we tend to breathe through the mouth instead of the nose. |
|
| In both children and adults, asthma exacerbations are caused primarily by viral respiratory infections, with rhinovirus being the most common infectious organism detected. |
|
| Both in adults and in children, the majority of asthma exacerbations are caused by respiratory virus infections of which rhinoviruses are by far the most frequent. |
|
| Treatment strategies included chest physiotherapy and oral or IV antibiotics adjusted to the results of bacteriological studies during acute exacerbations of lung disease. |
|
| Pavlovian conditioning, a form of associative learning, is thought to play an important role in the acquisition and exacerbations of pain-related responses. |
|
| It might progress quite unnoticeably without exacerbations or even without pain in one person, and in another person only several years my pass between the first symptom and the prosthesis. |
|
| Of 1,018 women in the prospective study, 370 had a total of 407 asthma exacerbations. |
|
| The Organ Failure trajectory is defined as one with a longer course of slow decline with intermittent life threatening exacerbations and then a sudden death. |
|
| Physical findings are obvious with or without exacerbations. |
|
| Like rheumatoid arthritis, SLE is characterized by recurring remissions and exacerbations, which are especially common during the spring and summer. |
|
| Furthermore, nocturnal symptoms, recurrent symptoms, or asthma exacerbations, are present more frequently than sometimes assumed by the physician. |
|
| Asthmatic patients often suffer exacerbations due to viral infections, including the common cold. |
|
|
|
| This theory is supported by the fact that the interferon betas, which are natural proteins used to prevent the exacerbations of MS, produce fatigue as a side effect. |
|
| The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of lipid peroxidation, Coenzyme Q10, Zn, and Cu in the COPD exacerbations. |
|
| How can I cut down on the frequency of acute exacerbations? |
|
| Not using spacers with inhalers is a significant cause of asthma exacerbations. |
|
| A common form of pneumonitis in children is lymphoid interstitial pneumonia, a chronic disease characterized by spontaneous exacerbations, intermittent wheezing, and chronic cough. |
|
| Acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis present a treatment challenge because there are two conditions that require care: an acute infection and a chronically irritated and inflamed airway. |
|
| Clinical studies have shown, that it improves lung volume and function, while relieving breathlessness and reducing the frequency of exacerbations. |
|
| Specific therapy for the reduction of exacerbations includes the addition of a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, roflumilast. |
|
| Adult COPD patients treated with ORENCIA developed adverse events more frequently than those treated with placebo, including COPD exacerbations, cough, rhonchi, and dyspnea. |
