symptoms: skin itching and burning, blisters, red rash, usually in the hands.
2. a) asthama attack
what causes it:
- inherited tendency to develop allergies (called Atope.)
- Parents who have asthma.
- Some respiratory infections during childhood
- Contact with some airborne allergens or exposure to some viral infections in infancy or in early childhood when the immune system is developing
Symptoms: Asthma is a long-term lung disease that inflames and narrows the lung’s airways. Asthma causes recurring periods of wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing.
b) Treatments: adrenaline shot makes heart beat faster; reduces mucus and you can breathe easier through the airways; long-term medicines: reduce airway inflamation; Inhalers- open the airways; relax tightened muscles
3. a) mixed connective tissue disease: Mixed connective tissue disease is an uncommon autoimmune disorder that causes overlapping features of primarily three connective tissue diseases — lupus, scleroderma and polymyositis.
symptoms: patients overlap illnesses and have high amounts of the antibodies ANA and anti-RNP in their blood.
b) hyperbanic oxygen chamber- is a medical use of oxygen at a higher level atmospheric pressure. it:
1) greatly increases oxygen concentration in all body tissues, even with reduced or blocked blood flow
2) stimulates the growth of new blood vessels to locations with reduced circulation which improves blood flow to areas with arterial blockage
3) causes a rebound arterial dilation after HBOT, resulting in an increased blood vessel diameter greater than when therapy began, improving blood flow to compromised organs
4) stimulates an adaptive increase in superoxide dismutase, which is one of the body's principal and internally produced antioxidants and free radical scavengers; and,
5) aids the treatment of infection by enhancing white blood cell action and potentiating germ-killing antibiotics.
