Asthma is a common breathing condition that affects 20% of all children Asthma tends to run in families, although this is not always the case. You may have seen someone at school who uses an inhaler to help them breathe better and control asthma symptoms.
The Cardiovascular Journal of Africa (CVJA) is an international peer-reviewed journal that keeps cardiologists up to date with advances in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Topics covered include coronary disease, electrophysiology, valve disease, imaging techniques, congenital ...heart disease (fetal, paediatric and adult), heart failure, surgery, and basic science.
more
Background
In the prevention of cardiovascular disease, a WHO target is that at least 50% of eligible people use statins. Robust evidence is needed to monitor progress towards this target in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), where most cardiovascular disease deaths occur. The objectiv...es of this study were to benchmark statin use in LMICs and to investigate country-level and individual-level characteristics associated with statin use.

People with asthma should be encouraged to take part in any sport they choose. If someone with asthma is having difficulty with sport, it means their asthma may not be under control. You will need to see your doctor to review your controller treatment and the way you use your medications in oder to ...allow you to live your life to the full with no limitations on activities or sport.

Asthma is a very commom condition. It cannot be cured, but can controlled with effective medication, good technique, and good monitoring by the patients are having no or few symptoms, no attacks needingg hospital visits and no or little emergency reliever medication use. Another way of assessing ast...hma control is to do tests that measure the function of your lungs. These tests are sometimes also done to help with the diagnosis of asthma.

This video is meant to train the public on how to use some of the devices for delivery of asthma medications.
The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Diabetes Compact (GDC) was created as a global initiative to improve diabetes prevention and care, and to contribute to the global targets to reduce premature mortality due to noncommunicable diseases by one-third by 2030.
The "Global mapping report on multisectoral actions to strengthen the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and mental health conditions" by the WHO provides insights into how different countries are implementing multisectoral approaches to address NCDs and mental health issues. ...It highlights the importance of collaboration across sectors—such as health, education, finance, and urban planning—to tackle risk factors like tobacco use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, and harmful alcohol use. The report categorizes actions into four pillars: governance, leadership, operational practices, and resources. It showcases examples from various countries and calls for improved multisectoral efforts to reduce the global burden of NCDs and enhance mental health outcomes.

What You Can Do About a Lung Disease Called COPD
Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD)
Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD)
(2019)
CC2
The "GOLD Patient Guide 2019" explains Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), its causes, symptoms, and stages. It provides practical advice for managing COPD, including the importance of quitting smoking, following medical treatment plans, exercising, maintaining a healthy diet, and creating... a supportive living environment. The guide emphasizes early diagnosis, regular medical checkups, and strategies for managing severe COPD to improve quality of life.

We work with health care professionals and public health officials around the globe to reduce asthma prevalence, morbidity, and mortality.
The webpage from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) discusses the heightened risk that individuals with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)—such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer—face regarding severe illness and mortality from COVID-19. It emphasizes the necessity of informi...ng the public about these health risks and adapting healthcare services to ensure the continuity of essential NCD care during the pandemic. The page provides information and guidance for healthcare providers and the public on managing NCDs in the context of COVID-19, highlighting the importance of addressing NCDs and their risk factors with a medium- to long-term perspective.

Asthma is a heterogeneous condition characterised by chronic inflammation and variable expiratory airflow limitation, with airway reversibility. Management of chronic inflammation with anti-asthma medication improves asthma control and quality of life. The aim of this journal is to provide an eviden...ce-based approach for chronic asthma management in young children and adolescents and provide guidance on the use of new asthma drugs in children.
For that, the South African Childhood Asthma Working Group (SACAWG) convened in January 2017. The asthma treatment task group reviewed the available scientific literature and international asthma treatment guidelines. The evidence was then graded according to the Grades of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system and recommendations were made based on scientific evidence and local context. Asthma management recommendations were made for children ˂6 years of age and older children and adolescents, as well as for stepping up and stepping down of therapy. This review does not include biologics or novel asthma drugs, which are covered in another CME article in this edition of SAMJ.
The final conclusions are that it is important to ensure good response, treatment and adherence, type of medication, device and checking of technique are all critical. Stepping up of therapy should be done only after ensuring good adherence and technique. Once therapeutic response is achieved, medication administration has to be stepped down to improve ease of use and avoid unnecessary side-effects.

Appropriate use and withdrawal of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Román-Rodríguez, M.; Tsiligianni, I.; Wiliams, S.; et al.
International Primary Care - Respiratory Group
(2020)
CC2
The document "Appropriate use and withdrawal of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)" from the IPCRG provides guidance on when to start, adjust, or discontinue ICS in COPD treatment. It highlights the benefits and risks, emphasizing personalized... treatment based on patient history, exacerbation frequency, and eosinophil count, while detailing how to optimize bronchodilator use to manage symptoms effectively.
more
Asthma is a chronic (long-term) lung condition that affects your airways or bronchial tubes. It can cause your airways to narrow and their lining to swell and to produce extra mucus, which makes it more difficult to breathe. The narrowing of the airways causes you to feel short of breath, wheeze, or... cough. Asthma is there even when you don’t have any symptoms.

The pamphlet "What is Addiction" explains addiction as a chronic, relapsing brain disease characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. It highlights the dangers of different drug categories, including sedatives, stimulants, and hallucinogens, and their potential he...alth and behavioral impacts. The document emphasizes the importance of combined medication and behavioral therapy in the treatment process, including detoxification, ongoing therapy, and relapse prevention. Additionally, it provides contact information for addiction treatment resources.

Outcome of illustrated information leaflet on correct usage of asthma-metered dose inhaler
Wrench, W.; van Dyk, L.; Sirinivas, S.; Dowse, R.
African Journal of Primary Health Care & Family Medicine
(2019)
CC2
Research globally has shown that metered dose inhaler (MDI) technique is poor, with patient education and regular demonstration critical in maintaining correct use of inhalers. Patient information containing pictorial aids improves understanding of medicine usage; however, manufacturer leaflets illu...strating MDI use may not be easily understood by low-literacy asthma patients.

The WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region webpage discusses the impact of unhealthy diets on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. It highlights unhealthy eating as a major risk factor for these conditions and recommends increasing the consumption of frui...ts, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and whole grains while reducing salt, sugar, and fat intake. Additionally, it advises replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats. The page emphasizes that improving dietary habits is not just an individual responsibility but a societal challenge, requiring a comprehensive and culturally sensitive approach.

The article from the African Journal of Thoracic and Critical Care Medicine provides updated guidelines on endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) for treating advanced emphysema, a severe form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is prevalent in South Africa and other low- and mid...dle-income countries. The guidelines focus on identifying suitable patients based on specific criteria, such as age, lung function, and the presence of hyperinflation, while ruling out contraindications like pulmonary hypertension and recent smoking.
ELVR aims to reduce lung volume in the most damaged areas, improving breathing mechanics and quality of life. Various devices, including endobronchial valves, intrabronchial valves, and coils, are reviewed with evidence from clinical trials supporting their use. The guidelines emphasize careful patient selection and recommend only performing ELVR in specialized centers due to its high cost and risk of complications, such as pneumothorax.
