Asthma is
a common condition of the airways affecting all age groups. Asthmatic
persons have airways that are more sensitive to airborne exposures than
other healthy people. Exposure to such triggers causes abnormal narrowing
of the airways in these people. In spite of the extensive knowledge that
we have accumulated over the years, the disease still continues to
generate anxiety and panic in the common man.

First Public
Lecture on Itching Disorders
PGIMER
is going to begin Golden Jubilee Public Lecture Series in the New OPD
Block to create awareness amongst patients, attendants and general public
about common health issues like dental care, respiratory allergies and
asthma, itching disorders, hepatitis-jaundice, common urinary problems,
diarrhoea and dysenteries, brain attacks-strokes, voice and hearing
problems and bone and joint related problems.
The
first public lecture will be on Itching Disorders by Dr Tarun Narang,
Department of Dermatology, PGIMER on 5th April, 2013 at 12.30pm
on 3rd floor, C Block of New OPD, PGIMER.
Often
the dermatologists are able to diagnose the cause of itching with a
careful history and physical examination; however, to determine a specific
cause of the itch, a panel of blood tests, skin scraping, or biopsy may be
needed to help make the diagnosis. If the itch is due to a skin disease or
skin infection, treatment of the causative condition itself, in
combination with topical medications and oral antihistamines usually
relieves the symptoms. If the itch is secondary to an internal disease,
patients may require treatment of the disease with oral medications.
Guidelines to control itching explained
