Wendy‚ I think your description of the pathophysiology of asthma was right on point. Due to the release of the mediators causing an increase in blood flow and vasoconstriction‚ which is why his BP increased and experiencing tachycardia. With bronchoconstriction‚ causing him to used excessive muscle to breathing‚ leading him to have tachypnea of 42 with shallow breathing. Since the patient is experiencing exacerbating‚ it is important to act quickly and manage it by early treatment and education

research done on asthma and genetics and this research is ongoing. Some research on this is pointing at a synergistic nature within the pathophysiology of asthma. “Polymorphisms in the gene that encodes platelet-activating factor hydrolase‚ an intrinsic neutralizing agent of platelet-activating factor in most humans‚ may play a role in susceptibility to asthma and asthma severity” (Morris & Pearson‚ 2016). There has been evidence which has suggested that the prevalence of asthma is reduced in association

Asthmatics usually react to triggers. Triggers are substances and situations that would not normally trouble an asthma free person. Asthma is either

Sickle Cell Anemia is an inherited disease characterized by periods of relative health alternating with episodes of severe illness caused when sickle shaped [pic]red blood cells block small blood vessels. According to the encyclopedia here’s the pathophysiology of the disease; Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the B globin chain of hemoglobin‚ causing the amino acid glutamic acid to be replaced with the hydrophobic amino acid valine at the sixth position. The B globin gene is found on the

Asthma 1.) The organ system asthma affect is the respiratory system (the lungs). Asthma is diagnosed based on medical and family histories‚ a physical exam‚ and test result. During an asthma attack the person have an acute episodes when the airways in their lungs become narrow and becomes more difficult to breath.
