Asthma is a disease that affects your airways which includes bronchial tubes and air sacs. Airways are tubes that carry breath in and out of the lungs. In disease like asthma, the inner walls of airways become inflamed (sore and swollen).
This inflammation makes them highly sensitive and reactive, to a number of allergic like smoke, fragrance, animal fur, dust etc. In reaction to allergic, airways get narrower and your lungs get lesser amount of air then required. This causes wheezing, coughing, chest congestion and suphocation, particularly early in the morning or at night.
As asthma symptoms get worse than normal, an asthma attack occurs. In a severe asthma attack, the air tubes can narrow so much that internal vital organs (viscera) become oxygen deficient and sometime, this sever attack results in death of the patient.
Although asthma is a controllable disease, but it can flare up any time even you feeling fine.
But in this advanced era of scientific technology, most asthmatic patients’ are know able to manage the disease. They can live healthy lives and sound sleep throughout the night without disturbance from asthma.
On Friday a new report is out with an easier solution for mosquito problems. The idea is to infect the mosquito so to shorten its life span and cause an early death.
This idea came up after a research done by Australian researchers concluding that old mosquitoes are more deadly and dangerous as they are efficient agents to spread out diseases. So they thought to find out a way so that these can die at an early young age naturally.
Previously efforts had been made to make mosquitoes resistant to diseases like malaria and dengue. These two diseases have caused massive number of deaths around the world in the past few years. A mosquito takes almost two weeks to make it a deadly weapon to spread disease.

Around 25 years ago, doctors in the U.S discovered the first cases of Acquired immune deficiency syndrome, generally known as “AIDS” in San Francisco and New York. Now, 42 million people are suffering from AIDS globally, according to estimation, and the mortality rate is almost 3 million, each year, due to AIDS-related diseases.
AIDS is mainly caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This virus destroys CD4 lymphocyte, which acts as defense cell in the human body. These cells are very essential part of immunity system that wrestles infectious diseases. People infected with this virus become immune deficient and start to get serious infections that they normally wouldn’t.
In such a huge population it is essential to have a HIV test that is quite common now a day. Even you can test your blood for HIV infection via home HIV test kit that is cost effective too.
There are some misconceptions about the spreading of HIV, even in social setup most of us used to keep away the HIV infected human beings as they thought, that the virus can spread through air or touch. It’s totally wrong; HIV requires aqueous media to transmit from one person to another.
