http://www.agius.com/hew/resource/ocasthma.htm

Extractions: "Occupational asthma is a disease characterised by variable air flow limitation and/or airway hyper-responsiveness due to causes and conditions attributable to a particular occupational environment and not to stimuli encountered outside the workplace" (Bernstein et al 1993). Within this definition two types of occupational asthma can be distinguished: In the first instance, there is agreement, that the syndrome of chest tightness, wheezing, shortness of breath, dry cough etc, which appears after a latent period of occupational exposure constitutes occupational asthma. The second category of occupational asthma is that developing without a period of latency and often associated with exposure to high concentrations of irritants. Its symptoms may be somewhat different from that of asthma that follows a latent period. This is often referred to as Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome ( RADS It should be borne in mind that the airways that are afflicted by asthma are a continuation of the airways starting in the nose. It is therefore not surprising that many asthma cases also have rhinitis, (often preceding the asthma). Rhinitis literally means inflammation of the nose. Its symptoms are commonly those which the lay person associates with "hay fever" - an itchy, blocked or runny nose, often red and accompanied by sneezes. There may also be eye symptoms (itchy, glazed or runny). Thus

Extractions: Feline Allergies Feline Asthma If your cat is itching FELINE ASTHMA Humans aren't the only species that can suffer from asthma and allergies. If your cat is coughing, is wheezing, has shortness of breath, or seems to be constantly coughing up a nonexistent hairball, she could be suffering from feline asthma. The problem is more common than many cat owners know. Some owners may dismiss important telltale signs and assume their pet is trying to expel a hairball during a coughing episode. However, cats can get the same airway spasms that lead to acute constriction of breathing as human sufferers. Severely affected cats may even display extreme respiratory distress. An allergen or stress can trigger feline allergy symptoms, which may accompany or precede vomiting, sneezing, sniffling, or even wheezing like a human allergy sufferer. Symptoms can vary from cat to cat. "Cats can have several different signs, and the signs can be anything from coughing and wheezing with no other problems to severe respiratory distress or difficulty breathing, requiring oxygen therapy," explains Dr. Liz Rozanski, an assistant professor of emergency and critical care at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. "And symptoms can be anywhere in between. My own cat had one bout one summer and has never had another problem. That's not at all unheard of, but some other cats continue to have severe episodes, and it's not always easy to tell which group the cat is going to fit into."

Energetic kids talk excitedly in the school's hall outside their classrooms. A few of them, dressed in uniforms of dark green pants and plaid jumpers, run up and down the hallway, drawing the warning. It's hard to tell on this December day, but at least one out of 6 of these kids has asthma. They live in the "worst of the worst" part of the District of Columbia when it comes to asthma. A community survey done over the summer found the River Terrace neighborhood, in Northeast D.C., has the high asthma rate in a city with the highest asthma rate in the country.
