Abstract:

Background Airways diseases are increasingly recognised to be poorly defined phenomena with overlapping pathophysiology and symptoms. They are a significant and growing cause of morbidity, with increasing numbers of people affected globally and no improvement in key outcomes in the UK for the last decade despite ever increasing expenditure. The classification of airway diseases has changed little in the last 50 years, and may no longer be fit for purpose due to the growing appreciation of the complexity and heterogeneity of airways disease and the advent of molecular-based diagnostic technique

Abstract:

Background Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common obstructive airway diseases with a substantial burden in terms of morbidity, mortality and costs. Smoking is the single most important risk factor for COPD, and is associated with incident asthma. It is important to know if the prevalence of asthma and COPD is increasing or decreasing in the population in order to effectively allocate health care resources. The definitions of these diseases have varied over time which makes it difficult to measure changes in prevalence. The preferred method is to estimate the prevale

Abstract:

The contents of this thesis are organised into seven chapters and one appendix. Chapter 1 includes two literature reviews that discuss important factors associated with the development of upper respiratory symptoms (URS) in elite athletes. The first review discusses URS, its incidence and prevalence in elite athletes as well as the effects that exercise has on the immune system at the level of immune gene expression, immune cell phenotype and immunometabolism. The second review was published in Sports Medicine and is presented here in its published form. This review discusses the relationship

Aim. To assess associations between occupational air pollution and respiratory health, especially in miners. Background. Indications of associations between occupational exposure or social economic status and respiratory health have been found in several population-based studies. However, there have been few longitudinal studies of the putative correlations, the effects of environmental and genetic factors have seldom been simultaneously studied, and studies of miners have generated conflicting results.

Abstract:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major health problem in the United States. Acute exacerbations of COPD are primarily responsible for the physical, psychological and economic burden of this disease. Early identification and treatment of exacerbations is important to improve patient and healthcare outcomes. Little is known about how patients with COPD recognize an impending exacerbation and subsequently decide to seek treatment. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore and describe symptom recognition and treatment delay in individuals experiencing an ac

Abstract:

Introduction: Respiratory tract symptoms (RTS), common in athletes during heavy training and after events, result in impaired readiness for events and race times. Since the 1980’s exercise immunologists have investigated the aetiological factors surrounding the development of exercise induced RTS in order to develop effective preventative strategies. A number of theories have been put forward and explored, such as increased susceptibility to infection, ‘run-away’ inflammatory response and reactivation of prior viral infection. It has been suggested that the mechanisms producing exercise induce

Abstract:

A cross-sectional epidemiologic survey of the respiratory health status was conducted in the adult (15 years and older) Indian South African population resident in Lenasia, Johannesburg to study the distribution and determinants of respiratory symptoms, disease and lung function level. A slightly modified self-administered version of a standardised respiratory health questionnaire and a wedge spirometer was used. There were a high proportion of current smokers among men. Although women smoked less than men in other communities they nevertheless smoked on average more heavily than other Indian

Abstract:

Research studies have shown that both indoor and air pollution are the main risk factors for the burden of respiratory diseases, elderly people and the children are mostly affected. Various risk factors have been associated with respiratory diseases, including gender, socioeconomic status, tobacco smoking habits, occupational environment and polluting fuel used for residential cooking/heating. No studies have investigated whether exposure to dust from mine dumps or living in close proximity to mine pose an increased for respiratory diseases, whether this exposure is involved in the development
