Feline Asthma By Dr. Margaret Muns, DVM Feline asthma is a common name for feline bronchitis. There are many different underlying diseases and contributing conditions that can cause the symptoms of bronchitis in cats. Causes The potential causes of feline bronchial disease include: Allergy Bacterial infection Parasites (including heartworm disease) Exposure to inhaled irritants There are also other conditions that can result in symptoms that are similar to bronchial disease, such as: Bacterial pneumonia Fungal infections Toxoplasmosis Cancer Foreign bodies Upper airway disease Chylothorax (build-up of lymph in the chest due to rupture of the main lymph duct) Feline bronchial disease can be classified into the following categories: Bronchial asthma. A reversible lower airway obstruction caused by spasms of the airways. Allergies, infectious agents, and parasites can contribute. Acute bronchitis. A reversible airway inflammation of short duration. This can occur as a result of viral, bacterial, mycoplasmal or parasitic infection. Chronic bronchitis.

Asthma is a long-lasting (chronic) disease of the lungs and airways (bronchi) that affects 5 people in every 100. In children, this figure is higher and rising. Asthma is characterised by attacks of breathlessness, tight chest, wheezing and coughing which are caused by the airways becoming narrowed and inflamed. Some people may have these symptoms all of the time and others may be normal between attacks. How do you get Asthma? Asthma can arise at any age, but why some people have the disease and others don't is not known. People with asthma have airways that are more sensitive than normal. Doctors know, however, that asthma can sometimes run in families. Asthma attacks can be set off by many different things, these are called triggers. Examples include cold air, vigorous exercise and stress. These triggers may also include 'allergens'. These are present in the environment and contain chemicals that trigger allergic reactions. Allergens include, for example, pollen, animal danders, house dust, pollution, some foods, perfumes and cigarette smoke.

Between 1982 and 1992, the number of people with asthma increased by 42%. Asthma is particularly common in blacks living in urban environments (affecting about 7%) and even more so in Hispanic populations living in urban environments (affecting about 11%). The condition also seems to be becoming more serious, requiring more people to be hospitalized. Between 1982 and 1992, the death rate from asthma in the United States increased by 35%. The condition usually begins in childhood, although some adults develop asthma, even at an old age. Asthma in children can interfere with normal growth and development (see Respiratory Disorders: Asthma The reason for the increase in the prevalence of asthma among children is not known, but it may relate to one or both of the following theories. One theory is that the widespread use of vaccines and antibiotics in children has shifted the activity of a special subgroup of white blood cells (called lymphocytes) in the body from fighting infection to releasing chemical substances that inadvertently promote the development of allergies. Another theory is that, because children are spending more time indoors and living in better-insulated homes than they were in the past, the exposure to potentially allergic substances is increased. There are few data to support either theory.

It is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways characterized by coughing, shortness of breath and chest tightness. A variety of 'triggers' may initiate or worsen an asthma attack, including viral respiratory infections, exercise and exposure to irritants such as tobacco smoke. The physiological symptoms of asthma are a narrowing of the airways caused by edema (fluid in the intracellular tissue space) and the influx of inflammatory cells into the walls of the airways. Asthma is a what is known as a 'complex' heritable disease. This means that there are a number of genes that contribute towards a person's susceptibility to a disease, and in the case of asthma, chromosomes 5, 6, 11, 14, and 12 have all been implicated. The relative roles of these genes in asthma predisposition are not clear, but one of the most promising sites for investigation is on chromosome 5. Although a gene for asthma from this site has not yet been specifically identified, it is known that this region is rich in genes coding for key molecules in the inflammatory response seen in asthma, including cytokines, growth factors, and growth factor receptors.

Email this Page To a Friend Breathing Better: Action Plans Keep Asthma in Check By Michelle Meadows During the mid-1980s, Sandra Fusco-Walker's life was filled with sleepless nights, ruined vacations, emergency room visits, and her children's frequent school absences. Two of her three childrenall under age 6 at the timehad asthma. "I was always worried about when the next bad thing would happen," says the Kinnelon, N.J., resident. "But that was before we had a plan." The "plan" was an asthma action plan that guided her on how to track her children's symptoms, monitor their breathing, and give them medication. "A plan tells you what to do and when," she says. "Without it, asthma is out of control, and that's when the disease wreaks havoc on your life." Asthma causes the airways to be inflamed or swollen, and the surrounding muscles are tight. When people with asthma react to various triggers, such as dust, pollen or smoke, their airways become narrow, which causes labored breathing, wheezing, chest tightness, or coughing. About 15 million people in the United States have asthma and almost 5 million are children, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Every year, asthma causes roughly 2 million emergency room visits, up to 500,000 hospitalizations, and 4,500 deaths.

Help Asthma: Complementary and Alternative Therapies by Cathy Wong A sthma is a chronic lung disease that affects at least 24 million people in the United States. Symptoms of asthma include episodes of wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and increased mucus production. Genetics, allergy, environment, infection, emotions, and nutrition all play a role in this disease, which causes inflammation of the airways of the lung. Complementary and alternative therapies are often used by people with asthma. The most common reasons why people try alternative and complementary therapies are dissatisfaction with conventional therapies and concerns about steroid side-effects. In a survey of 48 multicultural parents of children with asthma, 81% of the parents used one or more forms of alternative or complementary therapy to treat their child’s asthma. These therapies included prayer, herbal teas, vitamins, supplements, and massage. African-American parents were more likely to rely on prayer, and Hispanic parents were more likely to use herbal and massage therapies. Other popular treatments include the antioxidants vitamins C and E, selenium, and zinc. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish, and other supplements such as the herb
