How have asthma and allergy medications improved over the years?

Asthma and allergy medications are constantly being improved. However, while they get better at what they do, what they do basically remains the same. Some block the release of mediators, both fast acting and slow acting, some reverse physical processes such as swelling, and some fight inflammation.

This is a more complex version of what we have always done: When we started out in this field we dealt with these problems in broad strokes -- using systemic antihistamines, adrenaline, and steroids. Now the drugs are more specific in how they are delivered and where they work in the body. We also have a more sophisticated knowledge of how the disease travels in the body and how it progresses.

One airway, one disease. The new drugs allow us to block the progress of each incident before it comes to reside in the most vulnerable part of the body, the lungs.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
