Sign our guest book (and give feedback if you like) Asthma is defined in Essential Allergy , by Niels Mygind, Ronald Dahl, Soren Pedersen and Kristian Thestrup-Pedersen 2nd edition as : a lung disease characterised by: 1, variable and reversible airway obstruction airway inflammation ; and 3, bronchial hyper-responsiveness. Asthma is a disease causing difficulty in breathing, with recognisable symptoms: episodic wheezy breathlessness , which varies considerably within short periods of time , and is reversible (but not completely so in some patients) either spontaneously or with treatment; most important is a significant response to beta2 agonists and to corticosteroid drugs (Table 1). Episodes of wheezy difficulty in breathing Narrowing of the air passages in the lungs and hence increased resistance to airflow.
The Winn Feline Foundation - Health Article
A brief description of the condition, symptoms to look for and typical treatments.
http://www.winnfelinehealth.org/health/asthma.html

Extractions: Feline Asthma - Updated Information by Susan Little DVM, Diplomate ABVP (Feline) Feline asthma has been called by many other names, including chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, and allergic bronchitis. Regardless of the name, it is a common feline ailment. Inhaled allergens cause sudden contraction of the smooth muscles around airways, leading to typical clinical symptoms. It is usually impossible to determine which allergens cause asthma in individual cats, but common ones include grass and tree pollens, cigarette or fireplace smoke, various sprays (hair sprays, deodorants, flea sprays, deodorizers), and dust from cat litter. Feline asthma is found in all areas of the world and in cats of all ages. The prevalence in the general adult cat population is about 1%. The most common symptoms in cats with asthma are wheezing and coughing. The coughing has been described as a dry, hacking cough that could be confused with gagging or retching. Many cats are misdiagnosed as having hairballs! Paroxysms of coughing occur frequently. In mildly affected cats, coughing and wheezing may occur only occasionally. A few cats with asthma are asymptomatic in between acute and severe bouts of airway constriction. The most severely affected cats have daily coughing and wheezing and many bouts of airway constriction, leading to open-mouth breathing and panting that can be life threatening. The symptoms of asthma can mimic other diseases, such as heartworm, pneumonia and congestive heart failure. A diagnosis is reached by using chest x-rays, a complete blood count, a feline heartworm test, and a techniques to sample cells from the lower airways (transtracheal wash, bronchial wash, or bronchoalveolar lavage). Chest x-rays may be normal in some cats with asthma, while others will have signs of bronchial inflammation, collapse of the right middle lung lobe, and over inflation of the lungs.
Asthma
A chapter from the Cleveland Clinic Disese Management Project, written by Mani S.Kavuru, MD, David Lang, MD, and Serpil Erzurum, MD which discusses asthma.
http://www.clevelandclinicmeded.com/diseasemanagement/pulmonary/asthma/asthma.ht

Extractions: Medicine Print Chapter The Cleveland Clinic Foundation Although much progress has been made in our understanding of bronchial asthma over the past decade, asthma remains a frequently encountered condition challenging physicians in the office setting as well as in acute care settings. Although the 1980s were characterized by increases in asthma morbidity and mortality, the most recent data indicate a plateauing of these trends occurred in the 1990s, and that asthma mortality rates have declined from 1998-2002. This review of asthma for the practicing clinician will summarize these developments, including an updated definition of asthma, review of the epidemiology and natural history, and current thinking regarding etiology and pathogenesis. In addition, there will be an update on the diagnostic evaluation of comorbid disease, serial monitoring of asthma, and the most recent update of the expert panel guidelines and management algorithms. The authors will offer a critique of these guidelines, including their limitations. Finally, there will be discussion of newer therapies for the future.

All About Asthma: Low Allergen Gardens
General guidelines and suggested plants for gardeners in the United Kingdom.
http://www.asthma.org.uk/about/factsheet12.php

Extractions: Adviceline Campaigning Challenge Fund PEAK holidays ... Factfiles Factfile Last updated June 2002 Gardening can be an enjoyable hobby or occupation for anybody but people with asthma and hayfever need to be aware that gardens can also be a source of allergens and triggers. Pollens, mould, spores, dust and strong scents can all cause problems for some people. For those who love gardening, it can be extremely frustrating to have your symptoms triggered by some or all of the above. It is impossible to remove such triggers from your garden completely. However, there is a lot that you can do to make sure you come into contact with as few of them as possible. Asthma UK developed the Low Allergen Garden concept to demonstrate how this could be achieved. Asthma UK, as the National Asthma Campaign, exhibited the first Low Allergen Garden at the 1993 Chelsea Flower Show. The garden was designed by Lucy Huntington, with the help and advice of leading allergy experts and doctors. Two further Low Allergen Gardens have been exhibited at the Chelsea Flower Show both of which were awarded the Silver Gilt Medal.
