[size=4][b]Bronchitis Diseases - What are Allergies?[/b][/size][hr]Allergies are one of the leading causes of diseases in USA. The annual amount spent on allergies in USA is $18 billion. Allergies could get complicated and even ruin a person's life. Allergies generally mean over reaction or hyper sensitivity to a certain substance or product. The substance could make a person sneeze, wheeze or create rashes etc.

Allergies due to dust and pollution are very common nowadays. The dust particles enter the nose and make a person sneeze. It could also lead to other diseases like bronchitis and asthma. Allergies due to pollution, candle smoke, incense stick etc could create various upper respiratory problems. People with upper respiratory problems have itching in the throat and ear also. Breathing difficulty could also exist. At home, dust particles in the mattress, pillows etc could also lead to allergies. Even domestic cats and dogs hair could lead to allergies. Consult your physician if you are allergic to any substance immediately. The facts on Bronchitis Diseases mentioned here have a consequential impact on your understanding on Bronchitis Diseases. This is because these facts are the basic and important points about Bronchitis Diseases.

[list][*]To know whether bronchitis is contagious or not, you need to know something about the types, causes, and symptoms of the disorder.[*]What is Chronic Bronchitis? Wink[/list]

People suffering from chronic bronchitis are more susceptible to all sorts of infection and do not respond easily to medication. The condition does not respond to antibiotics as well as acute bronchitis does. This is because the excess mucus produced by the bronchial tubes is an excellent ground for the rapid multiplication of bacteria and other infection-causing organisms.

[size=large][b]How Contagious is Bronchitis?[/b][/size][hr]Certain types of bronchitis such as asthmatic bronchitis is not contagious because virus or bacteria have no role to play here. This condition is contagious only when bacteria or virus are transferred from person to person by direct or indirect contact. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, fluid from his or her nose or mouth can spread to others around him or her.

[size=large][b]The Person Has Been Suffering from the Condition[/b][/size][hr]For more than ten days, there is no danger of the condition being contagious; this is the aftermath of bronchitis. As you progress deeper and deeper into this composition on Bronchitis Coughs, you are sure to unearth more information on Bronchitis Coughs. The information becomes more interesting as the deeper you venture into the composition.

[size=large][b]Symptoms of Chronic Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]The symptoms of chronic bronchitis includes difficulty in breathing, breathlessness, wheezing, pain in the chest, productive cough, and discomfort. The typical chronic bronchitis cough, intense and persistent, is also known as "smoker's cough." These symptoms are persistent and intensify as the disease progresses. During the initial stages of bronchitis, patients notice its symptoms either in the evening or in the morning. There are universal applications on Asthmatic Bronchitis everywhere. However, it is up to us to decide the way used for these applications to get the best results from them.

Healthy people only need to take care to prevent getting infected. Beware of infectious particles when a person suffering from bronchitis coughs; you could then catch the infection. What we have written here about Acute bronchitis mucus be considered to be a unique composition on Acute Bronchitis. Let's hope you appreciate it being unique.

[list][*]Chronic bronchitis is usually accompanied by pulmonary problems such as pneumonia and emphysema.[*]With the passage of time, chronic bronchitis patients suffer from poor oxygenation and hypoventilation.[*]Lack of oxygen results in cyanosis, a condition characterized by a bluish tinge on the skin that suggests the presence of pneumonia or emphysema.[*]Saying that all that is written here is all there is on Bronchitis Symptoms would be an understatement.[*]Very much more has to be learnt and propagated bout Bronchitis Symptoms.[/list]

Bronchitis can also spread when common vessels and drinking glasses are shared or when handkerchiefs or tissues used by an infected person are touched. We do hope that you find the information here something worth recommending others to read and think about once you complete reading all there is about Bronchitis Bacterial.

Chronic bronchitis, there is inflammation of the mucosal membranes of the bronchial tubes due to infection, a condition that leads to an excess in the production of mucus. This extra mucus disrupts the normal breathing processes by blocking the air passages and preventing the entry of sufficient quantity of air into the lungs. We hope you develop a better understanding of Bronchitis Medical on completion of this article on Bronchitis Medical. Only if the article is understood is it's benefit reached.

Since viruses complete their life cycle in a few days, bronchitis that follows a viral cold is not contagious. However, the condition is contagious if the patient still displays symptoms of cold. It is only if you find some usage for the matter described here on Contagious Bronchitis that we will feel the efforts put in writing on Contagious Bronchitis fruitful. So make good usage of it!

[list][*]When acute bronchitis is neglected or wrongly treated, it often progresses to chronic bronchitis or some other pulmonary disorder.[*]On the other hand, infection of the lungs is responsible for acute bronchitis.[*]About ten percent of acute bronchitis is bacterial while ninety percent is viral.[*]When a person is continuously affected by acute bronchitis, his or her bronchial tubes are weakened, and this paves the way for chronic bronchitis.[*]Looking for something logical on Bronchitis Medical, we stumbled on the information provided here.[*]Look out for anything illogical here.[/list]

[size=large][b]Causes of Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]Smoking is not the only major cause of chronic bronchitis although the ailment is commonly seen among regular smokers. Smoking in itself does not cause the disease; but it facilitates the multiplication of bacteria and thereby slows the healing process in the respiratory tissues. Continuous exposure to pollutants such as hazardous chemicals, smoke, or dust is responsible for chronic bronchitis. The title of this composition could be rightly be Bronchitis Acute Bronchitis. This is because what is mentioned here is mostly about Bronchitis Acute Bronchitis.

[size=large][b]Difficulties of Treating Chronic Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]Medical science has still not found appropriate medicines to cure this condition. It focuses on relieving the symptoms of this condition in order to prevent it from proceeding to more complicated stages. The disease can last for three months a year for two consecutive years, and there can always be a relapse.

[size=large][b]The RESPIRATORY SYSTEM DAMAGE[/b][/size][hr]The long-term effects of air pollution include serious diseases like cancer. The highly polluted city air slowly metamorphoses our healthy and pink colored lung tissues into darkened particles of smog, dust, and other pollutants, making the lungs more vulnerable to infection. The highly sensitive respiratory system can be damaged in a number of ways.

[size=large][b]Laryngitis: Laryngitis is an Inflammation of the Larynx[/b][/size][hr]Laryngitis is caused by various factors. They can be diverse like voice overuse, cigarette smoke or viral infection. Laryngitis leaves different effects on the voice. Till the inflammation subsides, it can either get hoarse, or get reduced to a whisper. So after reading what we have mentioned here on Bronchitis, it is up to you to provide your verdict as to what exactly it is that you find fascinating here.

[size=large][b]DISORDERS & DISEASES of the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM[/b][/size][hr]Any portion of the respiratory tract can be affected by the disorders and diseases of the respiratory system. Though the common ailments of the respiratory system are trivial, yet at times they can be life threatening as well. Writing on Bronchitis proved to be a gamble to us. This is because there simply seemed to be nothing to write about in the beginning of writing. It was only in the process of writing did we get more and more to write on Bronchitis.

[size=large][b]Indoor Air Pollution:[/b][/size][hr]This is one of the most dangerous but often disregarded dangers. The offices and homes are mostly bases of indoor air pollution. Many cleaning compounds besides furniture and synthetic carpets, certain construction materials, and even air fresheners emit hazardous gases. These remain highly concentrated in unventilated or AC rooms. The most vulnerable sections of people exposed to these respiratory dangers are children, elderly people and those having a history of respiratory illnesses. These people generally spend most of their time within the four walls. The indoor air pollutants not only weaken our lungs but also invite infections.

Common cold, running nose & stuffy nose: Viruses cause colds by targeting the pharynx and the nasal passages. First, the viruses infiltrate the body through the respiratory system. Then, they target the cells in the nasal passage membranes. But before they can destroy the cells, the body's immune system fights back. The immune system increases the flow of blood to the area. Such reinforcement of white blood cells leads to swelling of the membranes. This causes the stuffy nose. Increase in mucous secretions to neutralize the viral attack leads to the runny nose. Mentionably, the infection can affect the sinuses -- membrane-lined cavities located within the head, besides the middle ear and the lower respiratory tract. Looking for something logical on Bronchitis, we stumbled on the information provided here. Look out for anything illogical here.

[list][*]However, prior to taking recourse to any of them, one should consult experts of those systems.[*]Obviously some of the obnoxious habits like smoking and taking of alcohol must be given up to get the optimum results.[*]This holds true for any treatment.[*]There are many varieties of Bronchitis found today.[*]However, we have stuck to the description of only one variety to prevent confusion![/list]

[size=large][b]Respiratory Distress Syndrome: It is Also Called RDS[/b][/size][hr]The dysfunction refers to a cluster of symptoms. All point to severe malfunctioning of lungs. IRDS: Premature infants may suffer from Infant Respiratory Distress Syndrome (IRDS). IRDS happens when the alveoli fail to fully expand during inhalation. Alveoli expansion needs a chemical called surfactant. However, among the premature infants, the undeveloped alveoli fail to produce enough surfactant. The common treatment for IRDS is administration of air and surfactant through a breathing tube. This administration enables the alveoli to produce surfactant.

[size=large][b]ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT for RESPIRATORY DISEASES[/b][/size][hr]Many traditional and alternative health systems like Yoga, Ayurveda, Unani and Homoeopathy have various means of treating the different types of respiratory disorders. Yoga has simple breathing exercises called 'Pranayam' that have proven track records. The other alternative health systems like Ayurveda, Unani and homoeopathy also have viable strategies to effectively treat the respiratory ailments.

Occupational risks: Many professionals are daily exposed to impurities released by their activities. These workers run a high risk of suffering from respiratory diseases. Mention may be made of people picking cotton, chest burning with cough in farms or shipyards, mechanics installing brake insulation or lining. Other people who suffer from such risks are miners, construction workers, quarry workers, stone cutters, and sandblasters among others. It is only if you find some usage for the matter described here on Bronchitis that we will feel the efforts put in writing on Bronchitis fruitful. So make good usage of it!

These substances settle down in the lungs' mucous layers. It takes almost an hour for the paralyzed cilia to recover. But repeated paralyzing from the heated tar eventually kills them. Mucus builds up as a result of repeated smoking. The accumulated mucus blocks the smaller air passages. The obstruction triggers the 'smoker's cough'. This familiar reflex cough is the distressed lung's effort to clear the air routes. :o.

Lung cancer: The main cancer causing agents are uranium, asbestos, and tobacco smoke. Genetic reasons can also cause cancer. The respiratory cancerous tumors are formed in the lung tissue (alveolar), the bronchioles or the bronchi. Early detection of such tumors can halt their progression to other parts of the body. Then the treatments are more effective, and the prognosis for recovery is rather good. Unfortunately, 85 per cent of the lung cancers are diagnosed at a later stage when the tumors have already spread. In such extreme cases, the prognosis is poor. There is a vast ocean of knowledge connected with Bronchitis. What is included here can be considered a fraction of this knowledge!

Emphysema: This non-contagious disease affects alveolar tissue gets partially destroyed. The remaining alveoli gets enlarged and weakened. During exhalation, the bronchioles collapse. As a result, air remains trapped inside the alveoli. In the long run, emphysema affects the patient's ability for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide. The circulatory system also fails to function. This causes breathing problems. Emphysema can occur due to genetic factors besides infection, smoke, smog, and cigarette. Bronchitis are versatile as they are found in all parts and walks of life. It all depends on the way you take it

Pneumonia: This infection of the alveoli is caused by viruses or bacteria. Pneumonia is a potentially serious state of the lungs. In pneumonia the alveoli gets inflamed after fluid builds up. This gathering of fluid and the consequent inflammation impedes the flow of carbon dioxide and oxygen between the alveoli and capillaries. We do hope that you find the information here something worth recommending others to read and think about once you complete reading all there is about Bronchitis.

[size=large][b]Cigarette Smoke: this is Yet Another Dangerous Emission[/b][/size][hr]The passive smokers are the hardest hit. Burning fags pose a serious threat to our respiratory system. Tobacco smoke contains over 40 chemicals including the dangerous tar. Most of them are known causes of cancer. Approximately 90 per cent of lung cancer cases among men, and more than 70 per cent among women have been traced to smoking. Bronchitis play a prominent part in this composition. It is with this prominence that we hope people get to know more about Bronchitis.

[list][*]ARDS: Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) occurs when the lungs get severely injured.[*]Many automobile accidents, poisonous gases, or lung inflammation can cause such a dysfunction.[*]ARDS patients generally have to battle for life with 50 per cent survival rate.[*]What we have written here about Bronchitis can be considered to be a unique composition on Bronchitis.[*]Let's hope you appreciate it being unique.[/list]

Besides tar several other chemicals enter our lungs from a burning cigarette. The tar from a single cigarette temporarily immobilizes the cilia of the upper and lower tracts of the respiratory route. The tar also temporarily paralyses the macrophages in the lung alveoli. When the cleansing and filtering functions are made inactive, the lungs and the air passages are laid bare to the different particles, viruses and bacteria that are airborne besides of course the tar. Developing a vision on Bronchitis, we saw the need of providing some enlightenment in Bronchitis for others to learn more about Bronchitis. Smile

Tuberculosis: Also known as TB, it is caused by the tuberculosis bacterium. The lungs are primarily attacked in TB. At times, other body tissues also get affected. Unaddressed, the lung infection can even destroy the lung tissues. Earlier, tuberculosis was controlled by antibiotics. However, the bacterium has evolved an antibiotic-resistant strain posing a grave health problem.
