One neglected sickness mostly of the rural population as it requires costly medicines and apparatus‚ or worst such treatments are unavailable. Statement of the Problem Recent surveys show that asthma is causing unnecessary suffering. One person dies every hour from an asthma attack. A survey released on World Asthma Day (May 2nd 2006) reveals that people see asthma as frightening‚ debilitating‚ and uncontrollable. No matter

or gases (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease). COPD may include other airflow obstruction diseases such as‚ emphysema‚ asthma‚ and chronic bronchitis. Asthma is known as chronic reactive airway disease‚ it’s characterized by reversible inflammation and smooth muscle contraction of the bronchiole’s‚ hypersecretion of mucus‚ and edema. Asthma is usually onset by cold weather‚ laboring activities‚ chemicals‚ medications‚ and viral infections. Chronic bronchitis is widespread inflammation

Terms Definitions What activity are you simulating when you click the ERV button? What additional muscles are used? Maximal exhalation; internal intercostal and abdominal wall muscles What does the pump rate simulate? The number of beats per minute (BPM) stimulates respiratory rate How did changing the radius effect FEV (%)? FEV decreased in response to decrease in radius What effect does the addition of surfactant have on the airflow? AIrflow increases because resistance is reduced

of the human system. People with allergies have an exaggerated response of the immune system. However‚ in most allergic reactions‚ it is responding to a false alarm. Allergies can cause a running nose‚ sneezing‚ coughing‚ itching‚ skin rashes or asthma. Symptoms vary from person to person and with the type of allergen. Rarely‚ allergies can set in a severe reaction called anaphylaxis‚ which is life-threatening. Allergies can develop at any age and the risk of developing allergies is often related
