Here is a brief excerpt of the glossary: \u200b\u200bA
acetylsalicylic acid
ground substance of some of the most widely used pain relievers (eg Aspirin ®) in those who tend to trigger an asthma attack.
adrenaline
body's own hormone. It is the prototype of the adrenergic
adrenergics
collective term for substances that accelerate the heart rate and expand the bronchial tubes. Other terms are: sympathomimetics or betamimetics. Adrenergics / betamimetics there as fast / short-acting spray or as a powder (emergency spray), as well as long-acting spray or powder. In , there are adrenergics / betamimetics as tablets, also known as Retard tablets. The tablets, their effect is long lasting. Adrenergics / betamimetics be used in the treatment of bronchial asthma and COPD.
Aero Chamber
lnhalatianshilfe, also called spacers.
Aerolizer
lnhalationssystem for powder inhalation.
aerosol
fine mist with very small particles floating in the mist. The particle-mist mixture is used in medical aerosols produced by "propellants". Aerosols can be used for administration of inhaled medications.
aerosol therapy
Die im Nebel feinst verteilten Arzneistoffe (Aerosol) gelangen beim Einatmen direkt in die Bronchien. Dadurch erreichen die Medikamente den Ort ihrer Wirkung schnell und entfalten ihre Wirkung dort, wo diese auch wirken sollen — an den Bronchien. Andere Regionen des Körpers bleiben unbelastet. Das ist vor allem bei einer Cortison-Behandlung wichtig. Dadurch dass dieses Medikament direkt an den Ort gebracht wird, wo die Wirkung eintreten soll, kann mit extrem niedrigen Dosen der Substanz gearbeitet werden. Die klassischen Nebenwirkungen der Cortisontablette sind beim Cortisonspray unbekannt. Es spricht also vieles für eine Aerosoltherapie. Das gilt für alle Formen dieser Therapie, d.h. neben der häufig genutzten Form des Dosieraerosols for the inhalation powder, wet inhalation, and ultrasonic Dampfvernebler
etiology
study of the causes of disease.
acupuncture
on the surface of the body are accepted 12 paired meridians, the flow is a kind of energy. There are over 300 acupuncture points that are assigned to specific organs and their function is to be influenced by stimulation. Instead of mechanical turning of needles is increasing irritation by current or laser in use. There are studies in which a small immediate effect on asthma has been described. The cost of acupuncture is great. Long-term effects are not yet occupied.
Acute bronchitis
is commonly referred to as "cold" or infection. Each of us has more or less often gone through an acute bronchitis occurs more frequently, acute bronchitis, this can already start in a "chronic bronchitis" and should rise to medical specialist - his pulmonary consultation to a not infrequent habit of the counteract complaints: Resist the beginnings!
Allergen Allergens are antigens that can trigger allergies.
common allergens are: pollen
• • animal hair (especially cat hair)
• Mold spores
• excreta of the house dust mite
• medications (antibiotics, Iodinated contrast media)
• Foods such as egg, milk, nuts and fish
• Latex
• Nickel
• Chrome
are often air-borne, non-allergic irritants: (pseudo-allergens)
• Tobacco smoke
• Candles, incense and perfume
• Environmental pollutants like carbon monoxide and ozone gas
• adhesives and sprays
• gases from cleaning products
• Insect Spray
What can trigger any allergies?
• clean water •
kleinkettige Sugar
• amino acid solutions
• Fats
• air in the mountains to about 1500 m above sea level (pollen-free)
• saline
• Mineral salts
• clean purified vitamins
allergens
avoiding contact with allergens in order to avoid allergic reactions . The allergens in children is especially important. Thus, you reduce the risk of the allergic child will react over time to more and more sensitive material and then responding to these attacks with shortness of breath.
allergy An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system. Release certain substances (allergens) that the body mistakenly interpreted as alien and therefore potentially dangerous. The immune system uses - it does not involve a dysregulation and a strong release of pharmacologically active substances, especially histamine
allergy diagnosis
The determination / diagnosis of allergy, different test methods used:
prick test - also known as skin test
catch test - ie blood test for antibodies
provocation test - examine whether the respiratory organs are allergic to the allergen found.
allergy vaccination
• As allergy vaccination Immunotherapy or specific immunotherapy is known so far the only causal therapy for allergic respiratory diseases.
• The Allergy vaccination allergy by slowly increasing doses of an allergen preparations can be made insensitive to the allergy trigger.
• Allergy vaccination is carried out usually at a allergologically trained doctor. • It can
hay fever and allergic asthma triggered by pollen, dust mites, animal dander and certain molds and allergies are treated on insecticides. could
• Using modern molecular standardized allergen preparations, the success of immunotherapy significantly gesteigert werden. Die Erfolgsraten nahezu 100 Prozent.
• Mit der Allergie-Impfung kann das Auftreten weiterer Allergien verhindert werden. Vor allem bei allergiekranken Kindern kann mit dieser Therapie darüber hinaus das Asthmarisiko stark herabgesetzt werden. Somit wirkt die Allergie-Impfung auch vorbeugend.
• Sonderformen der üblicherweise drei Jahre dauernden Allergie-Impfung sind die Kurzzeit-Immuntherapie und die sogenannte sublinguale Immuntherapie, bei der die Allergen-Präparate oral verabreicht werden.
Allergie-Test
Untersuchung zur Feststellung einer Allergie auf einen bestimmten Stoff:
• Epikutantest bei Kontaktallergie = der Teststoff wird auf die Haut aufgetragen
• IDT = for insecticide, pollen allergy, injection of the test substance in the skin
• provocation test = the reacting organ (nose, eye) is exposed to the test substance
