Download or read book What You Need to Know about Asthma written by Evelyn B. Kelly and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While some individuals with asthma consider the condition only a minor nuisance, for others it significantly interferes with daily activities and may even be life-threatening. This book offers readers a broad introduction to this common respiratory issue. Asthma is a respiratory condition marked by spasms, swelling, and excess mucus production in the bronchial passages of the lungs. This triggers coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. While asthma can usually be managed with medications and avoidance of certain triggers, it's a serious—potentially deadly—chronic disease. What You Need to Know about Asthma is part of Greenwood's Inside Diseases and Disorders series. This series profiles a variety of physical and psychological conditions, distilling and consolidating vast collections of scientific knowledge into concise, readable volumes. A list of "top 10" essential questions begins each book, providing quick-access answers to readers' most pressing concerns. The text follows a standardized, easy-to-navigate structure, with each chapter exploring a particular facet of the topic. In addition to covering such basics as causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options, books in this series delve into issues that are less commonly addressed but still critically important, such as effects on loved ones and caregivers. Case illustrations highlight key themes discussed in the book and are accompanied by insightful analyses and recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pediatrician Plaut, a specialist in asthma treatment (Children with Asthma: A Guide for Parents, not reviewed, etc.), makes no bones about it: A well-informed patient, working with a knowledgeable health-care practitioner, can control his or her disease so completely that 'you will have symptoms no more than two days per week, will rarely miss school or work because of asthma, will rarely require an urgent visit to the doctor or emergency room, and will be able to exercise as long and as hard as anyone else.' Plaut goes on to provide readers-even those suffering frequent severe attacks of the disease-with the tools and an action plan for reaching these goals. He explains the anatomy and physiology of the disease; what asthma medications are available and how to use them (the proper technique when inhaling a medication is vital); and how to monitor and interpret peak flow (a measure of lung function and the most important early indicator of trouble). Plaut then discusses treatment plans in depth and includes clear, well-designed forms for tracking the disease and its treatment, plus a short 'asthma diary' for patients and their physicians. First-rate help, indispensable for those with asthma. ($30,000 ad/promo) ; 336 pg.-
