Summary of the main points of pathophysiology in severe asthma 1. Pathophysiology? The key to improving targeted treatments, reducing disease burden and improving patient outcomes is a better understanding of the pathophysiology and mechanisms of severe disease. 2. Asthma Asthma is a complex interplay between airway inflammation and airway remodelling which results in airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR)—variable and excessive airway narrowing. Severe asthma is also often associated with some degree of fixed airflow limi...

Asthma a chronic inflammatory condition of the respiratory passageways , particularly the mucosa characterized by having the narrowing of the respiratory passageways which can cause difficulty breathing sometimes it can even be extremely fatal Content: 1. Underlying etiology 2. Molecular mechanism 3. Asthma is reversible 4. Controversial 5. Reference 1. Underlying etiology a. Atopic triad Genetic predisposition: with a family history of i, ii, iii. have more allergic or hyperresponsiveness to specific types of allergens produce massive amounts of inflammatory mediators produce exacerbation or bronchospasm of the actual respiratory passageways  i. Asthma ii. Atopic dermatitis also called eczema iii. Allergic rhinitis b. Samters triad three different factors that make these individuals more susceptible  Asthma Nasal polyps Aspirin sensitivity Some individuals might have kind of an allergic or hypersensitive reaction to aspirin aspirin inhibits the cyclooxygenase enzyme...

Antibiotics  Content: 1. Antibiotics classification 2. Mechanism of action antibiotics 3. Cell wall synthesis inhibitors 4. Cell membrane integrity disruptors ------------Part 1 5. Nucleic acid synthesis inhibitors 6. Protein synthesis inhibitors 7. Metabolic pathway inhibitors 8. Reference Review:  【Pharmacology】Antibiotics part 1 5. Nucleic acid synthesis inhibitors living organisms store their genetic information in the form of DNA  the cell uses DNA to survive and replicate  but first things bacteria must convert their genetic information into functional molecules  this is done by using DNA as a template for the synthesis of RNA molecule  process known as transcription  RNA can then perform tasks directly or act as a blueprint for the synthesis of functional proteins process known as translation  Drugs capable of inhibiting DNA or RNA synthesis  render the bacteria unable to create proteins and replicate  but not toxic to our own bod...
