This sensitivity appears to be more common in severe adult asthmatics, especially those who have nasal polyps and sinusitis. These patients are also often steroid dependent. However, this reaction may occur in any asthmatic patient, although it is rare in children. The cause of

Treating rhinitis in many ways is similar to treating sinusitis. Decongestants and antihistamines may be prescribed for patients with bronchial asthma who do not experience adverse excessive dryness and "plugging" of the bronchial tubes. A saline nasal mist can help provide moisture to the nasal lining. Intranasal topical corticosteroid sprays (beclomethasone, budesonide, triamcinolone,

AntibioticsThe primary treatment for acute sinusitis is antibiotics for eradicating infection. A prolonged course is often needed because the blood supply to bony areas such as the sinuses is limited. This course may vary but a typical treatment takes three weeks.Establishing DrainageIn sinus disease it is crucial to establish good drainage, which is often achieved with decongestants such as

Clearly, there is a close relationship between sinus disease and asthma. Patients with active sinus disease may suffer repeated worsening of their asthma. These flare ups may be partly due to mucus dripping into the throat and windpipe, causing cough and irritation. Infection from the sinuses may also be carried into the lower bronchial tree, triggering inflammation and asthma. This may often

Althought asthma is a disease of the lungs, it may be influenced by illnesses that affect other parts of the body. In many asthma patients, treating these related illnesses even may improve their bronchial asthma condition. Two common examples are disorders of the nose and sinuses and of the digestive tract.What Are the Sinuses ?The sinuses are a series of bony cavities located in the skull,

More and more clearly there seems to be some relationship between bronchial asthma and stomach function. Asthmatics often suffer from digestive problems, frequently complaining about excess stomach acid. Treating stomach disorders may actually improve the control of unstable asthmatics who are prone to frequent attacks.The EsophagusThe human digestive tract includes a feeding passage known as the

The symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux are obvious, including heart-burn and belching, complaints most apparent after meals and during the hours of sleep when an asthma patient is reclining. Examining the voice box may reveal signs of acid irritation. Further proof of reflux may be obtained through endoscopic examination of the esophagus as well as through x-rays of the upper digestive tract.

Asthma and SurgerySurgery may present several problems for asthmatics and must be approached carefully. To avoid complications there should be close communication prior to the procedure between the surgeon and the physician responsible for managing the patient's asthma.Possible ComplicationsComplications may arise from several sources in patients with asthma who undergo surgery. When general

Patients who undergo elective surgery who are not under good control should postpone their procedures to allow proper administration of medication. In emergencies, this delay may not be possible, so asthma therapy may have to be given intravenously during and after surgery.Preparing for SurgeryPreparing for surgery may include a course of oral corticosteroids in patients who are symptomatic or

The intermediate-acting insulins are NPH, Purified Pork N, Hetin 2 NPH, Novolin N, Humulin NPH, Hetin 2 Lente, Novolin L (human), and Humulin L. These start working in 1 to 2 hours, with peak action in 4 to 12 hours. The pharmacokinetic duration of actlon is reported to be 24 hours (the shortest therapeutic action reported is 10 to 16 hours). (Note that the human NPH insulins have a therapeutic

A number of supplies are needed for home self-testing of blood-sugar levels: lancets to pierce the finger, the finger-piercing device, and the machine and/or sticks or tablets used to test blood or urine. The most effective way to clean the fingers is by washing the hands with soap and warm water. Traveling? Alcohol or other cleansing wipes are useful to have.Urine TestsTests for urine ketones

Defense MechanismsAnger, denial, and bargaining may be associated with responses called defense mechanisms. The major defense mechanisms are rationalization, regression, reaction formation, repression, with, drawal, and compensation.Rationalization means saying, for example, that something desired but not obtained was no good, anyway.Regression, which is more noticeable in adults than in children

Meal plans are meant to help you rather than to be an obstacle.They should be individualized to meet your particular needs, wants, and lifestyle and organized within the bounds of your particular health problem(s). The plan must meet the caloric level of your daily activity unless you are overweight, in which case you need to decrease your caloric intake in relation to the calories you burn in
