Asthma attacks

Majority of children playing sports unprepared for asthma attacks

More than three-fourths of children with asthma were unprepared for an exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) event, or asthma attack, according to a recent study. Since exercise can be a trigger for asthma attacks and inhalers are the best treatment, the researchers stressed that it's critical inhalers be available during physical activity.

In the study, published in a recent issue of Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 579 children 12 years old and younger were surveyed on the playing field. Of the 80 who had been diagnosed with asthma, only 22 percent had their inhalers with them.

"Inhaler availability among children with asthma who participate in organized sports is suboptimal," said Gilbert E. D'Alonzo, Jr., D.O., F.C.C.P., professor of medicine in the division of pulmonary critical care at Temple University School of Medicine and Temple University Hospital, who collaborated on the study with colleagues at the University of Colorado and Drexel University. "Without adequate preparedness and control for possible exercise-induced asthma attacks, children will not be able to play to their potential. Furthermore, uncontrolled attacks could affect their desire to engage in play and organized sports at all."

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in children, affecting at least 4.8 million in the United States. Although physical activity is an essential ingredient for healthy development, it can trigger asthma attacks in susceptible children. The researchers suggested that future study focus on why such a large percentage of asthmatic children were unprepared on the playing fields.

Egg first!

Last Tuesday, just below this post I posted with a clip about how farmed eggs are being taking cared of. With the clip introduction, until now it is debated what comes first egg or the chicken.
"Friday, May 26, 2006; Posted: 7:33 a.m. EDT (11:33 GMT)" in CNN news it was clearly posted that the egg comes first than the chicken.

Todays Bible says

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.

Keeping it here... in my heart...

Its been a while since we had a good talk and shes been in my heart ever since. I wish I could change the past and make it right with no regrets. She stood always at my side when ever I become frail and down. On my hardest rain shes been my umbrella and after it she became my Sun shining upon me.

Over shadow by her teachings I became strong. She maybe gone and far but all of her are stock in my heart. ^^c
