While some individuals with asthma consider the condition only a
minor nuisance, for others it significantly interferes with daily
activities and may even be life-threatening. This book offers
readers a broad introduction to this common respiratory issue.
Asthma is a respiratory condition marked by spasms, swelling, and
excess mucus production in the bronchial passages of the lungs.
This triggers coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of
breath. While asthma can usually be managed with medications and
avoidance of certain triggers, it's a serious-potentially
deadly-chronic disease. What You Need to Know about Asthma is part
of Greenwood's Inside Diseases and Disorders series. This series
profiles a variety of physical and psychological conditions,
distilling and consolidating vast collections of scientific
knowledge into concise, readable volumes. A list of "top 10"
essential questions begins each book, providing quick-access
answers to readers' most pressing concerns. The text follows a
standardized, easy-to-navigate structure, with each chapter
exploring a particular facet of the topic. In addition to covering
such basics as causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment
options, books in this series delve into issues that are less
commonly addressed but still critically important, such as effects
on loved ones and caregivers. Case illustrations highlight key
themes discussed in the book and are accompanied by insightful
analyses and recommendations. Approaches the subject in a holistic
manner, covering such often-overlooked areas as societal
perceptions and impact on family and friends An Essential Questions
section provides quick answers to the questions readers are most
likely to have and serves as a springboard to explore the content
of the book in more detail Case Illustrations provide relatable,
real-world examples of concepts discussed in the text An annotated
Directory of Resources points readers toward useful books,
organizations, and websites, acting as a gateway to further study
and research
