Procedure helps asthma patients
Lee Trimmer had struggled with the effects of asthma for pretty much her entire life. It began worsening about 10 years ago, “and exponentially so” the last few, she says.
That is until early last year, when she underwent a new procedure called bronchial thermoplasty. “It’s not a cure for asthma, but it’s as close as they’ve ever come,” says Trimmer, 44, a neonatal intensive care nurse at Lovelace Women’s Hospital. “I’m more than a year out, and it’s changed my life and for the better.”.....

Severe Asthma: Clinical Conundrum
Severe asthma—a heterogeneous disease that requires treatment with high-dose inhaled corticosteroids—affects 5% to 10% of asthma patients. The condition is costly to treat, consuming more than its share of health care resources. A comprehensive review of a condition’s pathology and current and investigational treatments can frequently help pharmacists deal with difficult cases, and just such a review of uncontrolled severe asthma appears in the June 2013 issue of the Journal of Investigational Allergology & Clinical Immunology.....

Late that night, rather than waiting for morning, she took me to the walk-in clinic. From there I was immediately rushed to the hospital. I passed out in the ambulance and later woke in a hospital bed near my doctor and teary-eyed mom......
