Download or read book Asthma and Bronchitis written by Jan de Vries and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-05-20 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is clear that asthma and bronchitis are on the increase, especially in Britain, and there are strong indications that this rise may be linked to atmospheric influences. Jan de Vries has over 30 years' experience of treating these conditions and in this important title in the By Appointment Only series he sets out his own ideas about respiratory disorders. He shows, for example, how many allergic reactions can result in asthma-related problems, hay-fever being a case in point. Viruses, bacteria and irritants may result in dry coughs, mucus formation, breathlessness, muscle pain and even light fever, depression and sometimes emphysema. Emphysema is known to be incurable, but Jan de Vries shows his treatments can bring welcome relief.
Download or read book Bronchial Asthma written by Denis Leigh and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bronchial Asthma: A Genetic, Population and Psychiatric Study presents the main theories of the cause of asthma which states that attacks occurred as a result of pathological changes in the lungs, heart, or large vessels. It discusses that spasms and paralysis of the bronchi were produced by nervous or humoral changes, or from bronchial exudation. Organized into 15 chapters, this book starts with an overview of the relationships between bronchial asthma and several conditions commonly regarded as allergic in nature, including hay fever, eczema, vasomotor rhinitis, urticarial, gastro-intestinal allergy, and psoriasis. This text then discusses the Weinberg genealogical proband method. Other chapters explore the inherited susceptibility of the bronchial tree to dysfunction, be it inflammation, as with bronchitis, or spasm, as with asthma. The final chapter deals with the inquiry using the Weinberg genealogical proband technique into the genetics of bronchial asthma. This book is a valuable resource for physicians, dermatologists, and allergists.

Download or read book The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant changes have taken place in the policy landscape surrounding cannabis legalization, production, and use. During the past 20 years, 25 states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis and/or cannabidiol (a component of cannabis) for medical conditions or retail sales at the state level and 4 states have legalized both the medical and recreational use of cannabis. These landmark changes in policy have impacted cannabis use patterns and perceived levels of risk. However, despite this changing landscape, evidence regarding the short- and long-term health effects of cannabis use remains elusive. While a myriad of studies have examined cannabis use in all its various forms, often these research conclusions are not appropriately synthesized, translated for, or communicated to policy makers, health care providers, state health officials, or other stakeholders who have been charged with influencing and enacting policies, procedures, and laws related to cannabis use. Unlike other controlled substances such as alcohol or tobacco, no accepted standards for safe use or appropriate dose are available to help guide individuals as they make choices regarding the issues of if, when, where, and how to use cannabis safely and, in regard to therapeutic uses, effectively. Shifting public sentiment, conflicting and impeded scientific research, and legislative battles have fueled the debate about what, if any, harms or benefits can be attributed to the use of cannabis or its derivatives, and this lack of aggregated knowledge has broad public health implications. The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids provides a comprehensive review of scientific evidence related to the health effects and potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis. This report provides a research agendaâ€"outlining gaps in current knowledge and opportunities for providing additional insight into these issuesâ€"that summarizes and prioritizes pressing research needs.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter iv. Premonitory symptoms of an attack--Treatment by applications to the chest--Coffee and Caffeine inhalations--Chloroform--Iodic ether--Nitrite of amyl--Cigarettes--Nitre-paper--Sprays--. Internal medicines--Trinitrine tabellas--Hypodermic injections. There are certain symptoms which the sufferer from spasmodic asthma learns from his experience rightly to interpret, which show that a fit of asthma is coming on. Thus, the individual may be irritable and restless, or perhaps heavy for sleep; often there is itching of some part of the body, as, for instance, of the nose or eyes, and a peculiar itching under the chin is a marked premonition of the asthmatic seizure. In a lady aged thirty, liable to very severe catarrhal asthma, itching under the chin and the appearance of an erythematous rash on the chest usually ushered in the attack. In another case a feeling as of a tight stirrup across the instep was the usual warning. In some persons flatulence and dyspepsia precede the fit, though the diet has been discreet and simple. The best methods for averting a threatening attack of asthma are to some extent matters of individual experience, but yet there are certain general principles which will guide us in dealing with all cases. We should try to promote the respiratory action by placing the patient with his elbows and arms resting on some fixed point, so that the muscles of the arms and shoulders may help to expand the chest. Sometimes emotional excitement, or a strong effort on the part of the patient, whereby the attention is diverted, will avert the paroxysm. In one case in my experience, a patient was leaning against the side of a river steamer, fighting laboriously against an attack of asthma, when suddenly the boat came into...
