Allergen: A substance that can trigger an allergic reaction. Asthma can be triggered by dust mites, animal dander, mold, and cockroaches. Alveoli: The small units of lungs, these are tiny air sacs where oxygen is transferred into lungs and carbon dioxide waste enters the airways in order to be exhaled out. Bronchodilators: Drugs that relax the muscles around the airways and help in opening up the airways Metered Dose Inhaler: The most common device people use to take asthma medication. An MDI allows you to inhale a specific amount of medicine (a "metered dose"). It consists of a metal canister, which keeps the medication under pressure, and a plastic sleeve, which helps to release the medication. When you press the canister, medicine particles are propelled toward your throat where you can inhale them. Peak flow: A simple measurement of how well you can blow air out of your lungs. Peak flow meter is a small and inexpensive home device used to measure the peak flow. |

Posted on: 11/13/2011 Another consideration is the humidity level in the home, which can be measured using a hygrometer. A dry atmosphere has health concerns and it is a humidifier that is used to add moisture to the air in the home. A humidifier can be either for the whole house or a small humidifier ideal for a room.

Posted on: 07/24/2011 My belief is asthma is alelergy of lungs. Same allergies in other parts of the body are named differently. eg. allergic conjunctivitis, rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheitis. I also belief that the allergies in muscles causes myalgia, in joints causes arthralgias and arthritis. Skin eczzema is also somehow related to it. All of these can, should happen in the same person, may be at different times, usually unpredictable for time of onset and severity. Genetic factors are definitly related, but sometimes no family history is found. May be its incidence is increasing

Posted on: 07/05/2008 In early 2009 KarmelSonix Pty Ltd an Australian company of which I am a Director will be releasing the Personal Wheezometer - a hand held device the size of a mobile phone. The Wheezometer will revolutionise the home monitoring and management of asthma by providing a device for use at home, or at the workplace, or at the sporting club to accurately and personally assess the state of the asthma by measuring the wheeze rate - number of wheezes per minute - using very highly sensitive sensors embedded in the unit.
