Respiratory Health

 The respiratory system plays a vital role in delivering oxygen to the body
fuel for all the body's functions. It also removes carbon dioxide waste,
eliminates toxic waste, regulates temperature, and stabilizes blood acid-alkaline
balance (pH).
The lungs are the largest part of the respiratory system and have both
"respiratory" and "non-respiratory" functions. The respiratory
function involves gas exchange the transfer of oxygen from the air into
the blood and the removal of carbon dioxide from the blood. Non-respiratory
lung functions are mechanical, biochemical, and physiological. The lungs
provide a defense against bacterial, viral and other infectious agents;
remove various metabolic waste products; control the flow of water, ions,
and large proteins across its cellular structures; and manufacture a variety
of essential hormones and chemical agents that have important biological
roles.
Respiratory diseases can arise from a number of causes, including inhalation
of toxic agents, accidents, and harmful lifestyles, such as smoking. Infections,
genetic factors, and anything else that affects lung development, either
directly or indirectly, can cause respiratory symptoms.

Select the health condition that concerns you from the list below and you will find a list of carefully selected products Related Clinical StudiesA randomized, controlled study of the safety and efficacy of topical corticosteroid treatments of sunburn in healthy volunteers. Topical glucocorticosteroids are frequently used for the treatment of sunburn despite the scarcity of randomized, double-blind controlled trials to support this indication. This trial compared the efficacy and safety of two topical glucocorticosteroids, 0.1% methylprednisolone aceponate milk (MPA) and 0.1% hydrocortisone 17-butyrate emulsion (HCB). As the result, the differences between treatments were not significant, and MPA and HCB are safe and effective in the treatment of sunburn.

Instrumental and dermatologist evaluation of the effect of glycerine and urea on dry skin in atopic dermatitis. Moisturising creams are useful treatment adjuncts in inflammatory dermatoses and have beneficial effects in the treatment of dry, scaly skin. The effects on dryness and skin permeability of a new moisturising cream with 20% glycerine was compared with its placebo and with a medicinally authorised cream with 4% urea in the treatment of dry skin. No difference in TEWL and in skin capacitance was found between the two. Read More posted 3/1/2004 6:56:01 PM
