Cystic fibrosis is a crippling disease that affects thousands of people worldwide. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease of the secretory glands that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time. It causes cells to produce thick and sticky mucus‚ sweat‚ and digestive juices that block airways‚ ducts‚ and passageways. There is no cure‚ but there are ways to manage symptoms. According to the World Health Organization‚ the occurrence of cystic fibrosis varies across

surge in medical costs as many people demand treatment for illness brought about by it. The unhealthy air quality will cause an increasing number of people infected with upper respiratory tract infections‚ eye irritation‚ sore throat‚ sneezing and coughing. Young children and elderly people are very vulnerable to respiratory problems and cases of bronchitis and asthma will increase. People flock to purchase health products such as eye drops‚ face masks and air purifiers to keep themselves healthy

The risk factors for developing Respiratory Syncytial Virus‚ also known as RSV are infants who are born prematurely‚ infants younger than six months of age‚ and children who have underlying medical conditions such as congenital heart or lung disease. Children who have older siblings that are school aged or attend day care are also more at risk due to the amount of germs and the amount of contact that they are exposed to. Studies are still being conducted to detect whether heredity plays any role

Introduction: A tracheostomy is placed when the upper airway is compromised‚ and the patient cannot breathe on his or her own. A common reason for needing this in the pediatric population is due to a subglottic stenosis (SGS) (Deutsch‚ 2010). Although an SGS can be congenital‚ most are the result of intubation‚ as the subglottis cannot stretch to accommodate the endotracheal tube (ETT). While many acquired SGS happen from 2 weeks to 10 years old‚ the majority of these are before the age of 1

Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing? A cough reflex has both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) components. Pulmonary irritant receptors (cough receptors) in the epithelium of the respiratory tract are sensitive to both mechanical and chemical stimuli. Stimulation of the cough receptors by dust or other foreign particles produces a cough‚ which is necessary to remove the foreign material from the respiratory tract before it reaches the lungs

how close the passages and sinuses are to each other. B. What is the cough reflex? Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing. The cough reflex is deep inhalation followed by complete closure of the glottis and strong exhalation suddenly opening the glottis‚ and blasting air through the upper respiratory passages. Cari’s respiratory system is forcing out mucous in order to maintain enough space within her lungs for oxygen. C. Which structures found in

The cough reflex is the body’s was of elimination pathogens‚ particulate matter‚ liquid‚ and toxins from the body (Canning‚ 2006). In Cari’s case cilia lining the upper respiratory tract in charge of filtering inhaled air are paralyzes from smoking‚ so toxins are able to get into the lungs. When this happens
