Measuring about the diameter of a hockey puck, this smart patch can not only tell when the wearer is experiencing an asthma attack by measuring heart rate,
if their asthma is starting to flare up, and even then, they often lack the discipline to use their inhaler.
ADAMM can help ensure that parents can monitor for asthma flare-ups, even when they are away from their kids.
instead there are hard data on how much it will cost to treat the asthma cases that are caused by the extra pollution.

#Unexpected Discovery Offers Insight into Mechanisms of Asthma, Other Diseases A new study from the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public health reveals an unexpected discovery In people with asthma,
But the study showed that, in asthma, the opposite is true. The physics of biologythe researchers decided to look at the detailed shape and movement of cells from the asthmatic airway because, according to Fredberg,
and the fact that no one knows what causes asthma, which afflicts more than 300 million people worldwide it made sense to look at the shape and movement of epithelial cells,
The study included lead authors Jin-Ah Park and Jae Hun Kim, research scientists in the Department of Environmental Health who study asthma,
and Jeffrey M. Drazen, a pulmonologist and professor in the department, who studies echanotransductionin asthma how the bronchial constriction of asthma might trigger cell changes in the epithelium.

and movement is said happening Park. e know that asthma is related to genes, environment, and the interaction between the two,
but asthma remains poorly understood. hatever the reason, knowing more about how these cells jam
and unjam is said important Fredberg, because epithelial cells play a prominent role not just in asthma,
but in all processes involving cell growth and movement, including organ development, wound healing, and, importantly, cancer.
The findings open the door to new possibilities for developing drugs to fight asthma as well as other diseases

This will allow health care providers to individualize asthma treatments for each patient and advance the goal of bringing precision medicine into clinical practice.
This research was supported by the American Asthma Foundation Scholar Award the National Science Foundation, and the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research.
US researchers have developed a new low-cost lab-on-a-chip device to aid analysis of sputum from patients with pulmonary diseases such as tuberculosis and asthma.
Indeed, the so-called"patient-centered medication safeguard"could be a valuable tool for providers who deal with the millions of patients who take multiple medications each day to manage conditions such as high blood pressure, asthma, COPD, heart disease and diabetes.

The cost of medications for asthma, high blood pressure and diabetes went up more than 10 percent each,

A drug called montelukast (Singulair), regularly prescribed for asthma and allergic rhinitis, blocks these receptors, so Aigner and his colleagues tested it on young and old rats.
The team used oral doses equivalent to those taken by people with asthma. The older animals were 20 months old perhaps between 65 and 75 in human years.

Five per cent of people with asthma don respond to current treatments so research breakthroughs could be life changing for hundreds of thousands of people. f this research proves successful we may be just a few years away from a new treatment for asthma,
and we urgently need further investment to take it further through clinical trials. Asthma research is chronically underfunded;
there have only been a handful of new treatments developed in the last 50 years so the importance of investment in research like this is absolutely essential.
While asthma is controlled well in some people, around one-in-twelve patients respond poorly to current treatments.
the identification of Casr in airway tissue means that the potential for treatment of other inflammatory lung diseases beyond asthma is immense.
Professor Riccardi and her collaborators are now seeking funding to determine the efficacy of calcilytic drugs in treating asthmas that are especially difficult to treat,
particularly steroid-resistant and influenza-exacerbated asthma, and to test these drugs in patients with asthma.
Calcilytics were developed first for the treatment of osteoporosis around 15 years ago with the aim of strengthening deteriorating bone by targeting Casr to induce the release of an anabolic hormone.

#Could There Be An Asthma Cure Within Five Years? A recent study has revealed a breakthrough in asthma research might be on the horizon.
Following extensive research carried out across a number of institutions, it has been discovered that protein molecules-known as calcium-sensing receptors-have a vital role in asthma.
Although they have not previously been used to treat asthma, there is already medication available (calcilytics) that could be used to block these proteins.
In asthmatics, the immune system essentially misidentifies harmless substances, such as pollen for example, as a threat. The airways then restrict in an attempt to keep the armfulsubstances from entering the lungs leading to the body facing constricted airways and
Based on the study, the researchers concluded that this is one of the main reasons for the excessive inflammatory responses that occur in people with asthma.
This discovery has led the researchers to believe that new treatment options for asthma could be found some time in the near future.

Also, whilst the asthma sufferers who took part in this study had increased an number of receptors,
and whether the same is true for all people with asthma. However, the study does raise some hope of new asthma treatments in the future,
something that should give hope to millions of asthma sufferers worldwide. The study was published by researchers from Cardiff University, The Open university, the University of Manchester, the University of California

#New cellular pathway triggering allergic asthma response identified Researchers at the University of California, San diego School of medicine,

the scientists demonstrated that T helper 2 (Th2) type inflammation in allergic asthma involves dendritic cells (DC), a type of white blood cell,
which shares many similarities with human asthma. Conversely, increasing camp levels inhibited the cells'inflammatory response that results in asthma's characteristic symptoms."
"These findings and the related mechanism are very different from the current residing view of activation of specific T helper cell responses,
Allergic asthma is triggered by inhaled allergens, such as pet dander, pollen, mold and dust mites. It is characterized by inflammation
