Abstract

The controversy over whether altered development of orofacial structures arises purely from expression of genetic potential or is influenced by environmental factors is reviewed. Resolving this controversy will determine the need for early intervention to permit nasal respiration and for orthodontic treatment.

[Bronchial asthma and sports].

Physical exercise can induce an acute attack in most asthmatics. Exercise-induced asthma (EIA) is therefore a common clinical presentation of bronchial asthma. EIA is likely a consequence of bronchial hyperreactivity whereby alterations in bronchial osmolarity, heat-loss by hyperventilation and physical activity per se are discussed as pathogenic triggers. Clinical presentation, pathogenesis and diagnosis of exercise-induced asthma are summarized. Pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic possibilities are covered in some depth. In this context the value of sports-therapy in treatment of asthma is redefined. The possibilities and limitations for this form of treatment are explained.
