📖 1. Respiratory Diseases Overview

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Asthma: A chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness, obstruction, and episodes of wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A progressive lung disease involving airflow limitation due to airway inflammation and alveolar destruction, primarily caused by smoking.
  • Bronchodilators: Medications that relax airway smooth muscle, leading to dilation of the bronchi and relief of airflow obstruction.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Agents: Drugs that reduce airway inflammation, thereby decreasing hyperresponsiveness and preventing exacerbations.
  • Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICS): Anti-inflammatory drugs administered via inhalation to control persistent asthma and reduce airway inflammation.
  • Leukotriene Modifiers: Medications that block leukotrienes, inflammatory mediators involved in bronchoconstriction and inflammation in asthma.
