zware/acute astma Explanation: Even een webpagina kopierem - Ik heb geen medische kennis dus miscchien kan iemand aan de hand van het onderstaande de Nederlandse term bepalen? ======================= Brittle Asthma What does this form of asthma really mean? Symptoms of Brittle Asthma The Main Differences between Regular and Brittle Asthma Treatments for Brittle Asthma The Treatment of Brittle Asthma in Hospital There is much written information on asthma, but only very little about brittle asthma which is a rare and sometimes severe form of asthma which can threaten the independence of individuals, their day to day life and their confidence as well as being life-threatening at times! Symptoms of Brittle Asthma All asthma sufferers have inflamed and constricted airways which cause a tightness in the chest as well as difficult breathing. These symptoms in brittle asthma sufferers are often chronic, severe and very difficult to treat as well as proving unresponsive to medicines and other treatments. Brittle asthmatics are also very susceptible to sudden and often unpredictable changes in their condition, and this is where the term 'brittle' is used. Sufferers can fall into the following categories: Type 1 Brittle Asthmatics suffer chronically every day with their asthma, even though they are on large amounts of medication and treatment and this often includes the use of daily steroids. Apart from their chronic daily condition, they can sometimes suffer life- threatening asthma attacks which come on suddenly and often with little or no warning. Type 1 sufferers may need frequent admission to hospital when their condition is exacerbated. They may try to lead as normal a life that is possible, but many find themselves unable to work and in some cases become registered disabled. Type 2 Brittle Asthmatics often appear to be reasonably well with their asthma well controlled, but the Type 2 sufferers can also have severe and often life threatening attacks that come on very suddenly with little or no advanced warnings and they too may require frequent hospital admission. These asthmatics may have access to high doses treatments in an emergency when their condition worsens, some may take steroids every day in short courses, but most of the time their condition is kept stable by regular medication and treatment and many will still work and continue education etc. Back to Top The Main Differences between Regular and Brittle Asthma The factors that set Brittle Asthma apart from its Regular counterpart are: The severity of the symptoms. The reluctance of those symptoms to respond to treatment. The sudden and often unpredictable onset of acute attacks. The severity of such attacks. The general overall effect on the life of the sufferer. Unlike a Regular Asthmatic sufferer, a Brittle Asthmatic sufferer will have their own GP, Chest Consultants, and Respiratory Nurse over the course of many appointments and because of this, they will normally be the first to hear of any new advancements in asthma medicine and treatments. Living with brittle asthma, whether you suffer with it or care for somebody that does, can be very challenging and at times, very frustrating and it was with this in mind that The Friends' Network was created by Lesley King.

peer agreement (net): +2moeilijk-behandelbare astma Explanation: In een artikel over astma vond ik de volgende verwijzing: De afgelopen paar jaar is de kennis omtrent de pathogenese en pathofysiologie van astma sterk toegenomen. Dit geldt vooral voor de immunologische oorzaken van het ontstekingsproces in de luchtwegen bij atopisch astma. Er is echter nog veel onduidelijkheid over: a. de relatieve bijdragen van genetische en omgevingsfaktoren tot de pathogenese van astma en van atopie, b. de belangrijkste lokale effector-mechanismen in de luchtwegen die ten grondslag liggen aan het ontstaan - en vooral ook het in stand houden - van bronchiale hyperreactiviteit, c. de oorzaken van 'brittle', moeilijk-behandelbaar astma, en d. de effecten van de huidige behandeling op de 'natural history' en dus de niet altijd goede prognose van de ziekte [16]. Maar ik ben geen arts, ik weet niet of dit een gangbare vertaling is. |
