    A fourth drug can be initiated such as slow-release theophylline, oral beta-2 agonist, leukotriene receptor modifiers, (Price, Musgrave and Shepstone) or lipoxygenase-5 blockers. The fifth step is only initiated in case the asthma condition after all the above interventions, has not achieved relief. Low dose oral corticosteroid is

    incorporate TLR agonists and peptide antigens. This allows the molecule to remain water soluble at room temperature unlike TLR agonists. The scaffolds undergo temperature-dependent self-polymerization which makes immunogenic particles water soluble. These particles are drained to the lymph node where they activate DCs (Saxena and Bhardwaj 2017). Albumin binding agonists are effective because of the abundance of albumin in the blood and lymph. Vaccines with albumin binding agonists have TAAs with

    in combination, but newer studies have assessed these drugs singly and in combination over longer periods of time. Bronchodilators (relievers) Short-acting beta2 agonists (SABA) Beta2 agonists act directly on bronchial smooth muscle to cause bronchodilation. They are the most widely used bronchodilators for COPD. Short-acting beta2 agonists are the most commonly used short-acting bronchodilators in COPD. EXAMPLES: Salbutamol or Bricanyal Short-acting Anticholinergic (SAMA) Cholinergic nerves are

    Opiate Addiction Opiate abuse and addiction destroys the lives of many people. These drugs are generally used for pain management, but are often misused and abused. This research paper will define the action of opioids, drug categories, withdrawal symptoms, and treatment options that are available. Opioids Opioids are prescribed to treat moderate- to-severe pain following surgeries, individuals with chronic pain, cancer patients, or for dental pain. These drugs alter the perception and response to

    of the condition. Beta¬2-adrenergic agonists work to relieve acute bronchospasms by activations beta 2 receptors on smooth muscles. As the smooth muscle relaxes bronchodilation occurs and relief of the bronchospasm follows. Beta 2 agonist can be long or short acting and can be administered orally or inhaled. The short acting medications (SABA)are used to control acute attacks and are generally employed for quick relief of an ongoing attack. Long attacking agonist (LABA) are taking as a prophylaxis

    Contractility of ASM requires an increased levels of intracellular Ca2+. When surface receptors are not activated, Ca2+ levels are low. Upon activation of these cell surface receptors by contractile agonists e.g. acetylcholine, serotonin and histamine, intracellular Ca2+ increases causing a contraction (9). Smooth muscle cell contraction is controlled by both receptor and mechanical activation of proteins actin and myosin and also changes to membrane potential. Ca2+ dependant contraction of smooth

    . What clinical findings are likely in R.S. as a consequence of his COPD? Based on the findings from the case study was R.S has been a smoker for many years. One of the most significant risk factors for determining COPD is cigarette smoking. In determining this we need to the amount he has smoked as well as how often he has smoked that lead to the chronic bronchitis. What that means is that the airway mainly the bronchi is inflamed. Since it is chronic, which is a specific condition has been

    Volleyball is a popular sport across the world for both males and females, whether it be competitively or recreationally (Mitchinson, 2013). The objective of the game is to send the ball over the net and have it land inside the opponents’ court. However, to even start the game or rally, one must serve the ball from their side of the court to the other side of the court. This then gives the teams an opportunity to score a point. Therefore, serving is one of the most important skills in volleyball

    other b2-agonists cause a marked tremor: shakiness that accompanies fear, excitement or the excessive use of b2-agonists (example: salbutamol) in the treatment of asthma examples of this. This results from an increase in muscle spindle discharge, coupled with an effect on the contraction kinetics of the fibres, these effects combining to produce an instability in the reflex control of muscle length. Beta-receptor antagonists are sometimes used to control pathological tremor. The b2-agonists also cause

    occur3. Therefore it is important for patients to manage their asthma well in order to maintain a healthy and quality lifestyle. One of the most effective treatments used to control asthma is Salbutamol. Salbutamol is a short acting B2 adrenergic agonist and it is mainly used for quick relief or to prevent the onset of asthma3. This essay will explain the physiology of the respiratory system and the effect on the system when a person has asthma. It will also discuss the use of salbutamol as a treatment
