LUNG MUSCLE IMPLICATED IN ASTHMATICS' WHEEZING 
John Hendren, Associated Press 
Asthmatics wheeze because their lung muscles can't relax, 
not because of irritants in the air, a new study suggests. 
''If that is the case, then we can probably detect it very 
early on, before people develop asthma,'' said Dr. Alkis 
Togias of Johns Hopkins Medical Center, who presents the 
findings in the November issue of The Journal of Clinical 
Investigation.

In an asthma attack, the smooth muscles that line the
lungs contract, blocking the passage of air and leaving
victims gasping for breath. 

Scientists have thought the muscles contract because of an
unusual reaction to irritants or allergens, such as airborne
pollen or pollutants. 

Togias and a team of Hopkins researchers believe asthmatics
and nonasthmatics alike have the same air-blocking reaction
to lung irritation. But they contend asthmatics have a second
problem: lung muscles that cannot relax normally. 

''We suspect that nonasthmatics overcome this reaction by using
deep breaths to relax the muscles and open up the air passages
and that asthmatics lack this ability,'' Togias said.
 
''It is definitely not the conventional wisdom,'' said 
Dr. Michael Kaliner, medical director of the Institute for 
Asthma and Allergy at the Washington Hospital Center, who 
had not seen the study. 

``When you and I take a deep breath, our muscles stay relaxed. 
But when an asthmatic takes a deep breath the muscles do contract.''
 
The researchers tested their theory by making nonasthmatics
wheeze as asthmatics do. The researchers gave nonasthmatics
the inhalant drug, methacholine, which acts as an irritant and
causes breathing problems in asthmatics. Then they told the
volunteers not to breathe deeply.
 
The result: Nonasthmatics developed asthma-like breathing problems. 
''This is just the reaction we would expect if asthma is caused by 
an impairment of muscle relaxation triggered by deep breaths,'' 
Togias said.

Ningún doctor le dirá que esto porque es así que simple pero así
que "no médico" pero no obstante él sea MUY importante. También,
los pacientes en su totalidad como a caminar de una oficina de los
doctores con una prescripción para una cierta medicina mágica y
muchos de estos meds no trabajan ni causan otros problemas.

Los productos químicos son a menudo la raíz de todo el mal cuando
viene a su salud. Si usted utiliza cualesquiera de los artículos
abajo mencionados es común tener problemas del sino, del asma y de la
alergia entre otras ediciones de la salud. Consiga librado de ellas y
sus pulmones le agradecerán y usted respirará más fácil.
