Q

describe how M2 is different from M3

A

M3 only presents in the post synaptic area while M2 receptor presents in both pre and post synaptic areas and has opposite effect

20
Q

is tiotropium a SAMA or LAMA

A

LAMA

21

Q

aspirin-induced repiratory diseases are more prne to happen among patients wiht severe asthma _ naasl poly + chronoc rtY/N

A

Y

24
Q

mechanism of action of MgSO4

A

inhibit Ca2+ influx
inhibit histamine release from the mast cell
Ach release from cholinergic receptor
increase the affinity of beta-2 receptor

25
Q

good asthma control

A

day time sx < 2 days / wk
no sx when walking or at night
no limitation to the activities
need reliver < 2 / wk

26
Q

asthma management for 1-5 yrs

A

SABA
ICS / Montelukast + SABA
ICS (higher dose) & ICS / montelukast + SABA

27
Q

asthma management for 6-11 yrs

A

SABA
ICS / Montelukast + SABA
ICS (higher dose) & ICS / montelukast & ICS / LABA +SABA

28
Q

asthma > 12

A

SABA
ICS / SABA & budesonide+ fermoterol (as needed_
ICS / LABA (low dose-daily and as needed) & ICS/ LABA (daily) SABA as needed
increase the dose

29
Q

phenotypes of asthma

A

Th2 high and Th2 low

30
Q

IL produced by Th2 cells

A

IL-5—recruit eosinophils
IL4 / IL-13—mast cells

31
Q

features of Th2 high asthma

A

increased eosinophis level
could be slightly prone to have more inflammation feature

32
Q

terbutaline is PBS listed only when the salbutamol is not appropriate for the patient Y/N

A

Y
