Asthma is a serious condition affecting millions of broadcast . Its rapid rise among all developed countries is cause for deep concern. In response to this alarming trend, researchers are working diligently to find more effective treatments for persons already diagnosed with the disease, and possibly a cure to stop its progression.

According to the Inhabitant Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, “Asthma is a chronic lung disorder of enormous broadcast health importance that affects 10 to 12 percent of the population; it disproportionately affects children, minorities, and persons of lower socioeconomic status.” Asthma is the leading cause of teach absences and the most run of the mill cause for childhood emergency room visits. The economic cost of asthma surpasses 12 billion dollars annually.
Despite an increase in our understanding of the progression of the disease, the effects of allergy triggers on the body and the way our bodies react to them, and the fantastic strides in diagnosing and treating asthma, the number of broadcast diagnosed, sick or that have died from the disease continues to rise.

Our lungs are filled with hollow tube like passages that resemble the branches on a tree. These passages gradually become smaller and smaller ending in tiny pockets where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. For persons with asthma, swelling in the hollow tubes that fill the lungs makes breathing hard and uncomfortable. This inflammation causes an augmented sensitivity to allergens and a host of other asthma triggers like exercise, medications, stress, pollution, humidity and even laughter.

The symptoms of asthma vary from person to person; early morning or late night coughing, panting , chest stiffness , exhaustion , anxiety and tininess of breath are all run of the mill . Allergen induced asthma usually becomes apparent before the age of 35. Non-allergic asthma usually has its commencement in middle age and can be triggered or worsened by reflux disease, exercise, weather changes and illness.

Research is underway in several key directions, and on a global scale, to find more effective treatments and possibly even a cure for asthma. Secondary intervention studies, risk assessment, environmental intervention and assessing allergen exposures all allow researchers to explore different treatment options to deal with the symptoms of persons who already have asthma. Studying the genetics and hereditary components of the disease, and the pathogenesis and mechanics, may someday lead to a cure.

Research progress is dependant on funding, and the participation of persons who have or are at risk of developing asthma either through lifestyle or genetics. Funding for research comes from many sources: private companies and foundations, private citizens, corporate donations and government grants – but money is often scarce; and with so many vital and deserving projects, the competition for gaining the needed funding can be fierce.

Fantastic strides have been made in the area of asthma, but the steady rise in new cases suggests that greater strides are necessary. Researchers all over the planet are working hard to develop new treatment modalities and possibly even a cure for this chronic and often debilitating disease.

There has been done a lot of arthritis research the last decade and because of it we now know that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease we can place under the auto-immune diseases. But is enough arthritis research done to find a cure for this disease that makes millions of broadcast suffer?. In this article we look at what the scientist have found, what the prognosis is for RA and if there is a proper cure in sight.

What is rheumatoid arthritis according to the scientist?

RA can be very awkward and it can be disabling but what is causing it? According to arthritis research it is an auto immune disease this means that the immune system attacks healthy tissue, in this case it attacks the joints and causes inflammations in the joints and a disease of the joints cartilage.
Arthritis research shows that, just like with other auto immune diseases, it occurs slightly more with women than with men and that the disease often becomes chronic. Specific arthritis research shows that it is hard to determine a specific course of RA in general RA affects the joints and the cartilage and because of this the joints can become deformed when the disease progresses. The treatment until this moment has been about slowing the process down and controlling the symptoms.

What can you expect when you get diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

As with most auto immune diseases the arthritis research shows that it is hard to line out a proper prognosis, this disease has a different time table for effery patient and when we look at RA the best thing is to look at it on a case by case situation. There are typical symptoms but they varies from person to person. Awkward and swollen joints, morning stiffness and exhaustion are the most run of the mill symptoms.

There are doctors that are specialized in the care for broadcast with RA called rheumatologist and they are trained specifically to take a larger look at the patient and not only at the symptoms. They are mainly specialized in the latest and current medical care that is unfilled for RA. They can help you with the latest treatments and the latest drugs.

According to the latest arthritis research when your rheumatologist is questioned for a prognosis for your specific case of RA the first step he will take is to follow the RA protocol ans start with the first step. Evaluating the pain level of the patient and alleviate the pain as excellent as possible. Sometimes the help of steroids are being set to work against the inflammation to relief the pain and sometimes an non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug can help against the swellings and pain from this disease.

Arthritis research has lead into many different drug protocols that your doctor can use to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis, but it still has not lead to an real cure. Scientist have a hard job just because RA can be so different form person to person. Doctors still have an hard job to find the right combination of drugs to relief the pain of their patients.

So, even with all the arthritis research that has been done there still is no cure insight and even if there have been some new drugs unfilled they just treat the symptoms and not the real disease.
