Abstract
The most frequent chronic respiratory condition is asthma. Despite substantial advancements in asthma diagnosis
and care the majority of Indians with asthma continue to have poor control. Control can be achieved in the majority
bof individuals, however with the use of avoidance strategies and suitable medications therapies. For the vast
majority of patients, imhaled corticosteroids (ICS) constitute the standard of therapy. Most individuals who fails
to establish control with ICS medication prefer combination ICS/ long acting beta2 - agonists inhalers. Biologic
medicines that target immunoglobulin E or interleukin 5 have just recently been added to the asthma therapy
arsenal, although they may be useful in certain cases of difficult to control asthma. Allergen specific immunotherapy
has the potential to be a disease modifying therapy for many asthma patients, but it should only be recommended
by allergy specialists. Regular monitoring of asthma control using objective testing methods such as Spirometry, if
possible are key components of asthma care, in addition to avoidance tactics and medicines. Whenever possible;
writing asthma action plans; monitoring treatment obstacles and therapy adherence ; and reviewing inhaler device
technique. This article contains an overview of current evidence as well as guidelines for diagnosing and treating
asthma in adults and children.
 

In 1908 Eugen Bleuler coined the term “Schizophrenia”. Schizomeans split and phren means mind. It means
disorganised personality. Schizophrenia is a debilitating mental illness that affects 1% of the population in all
cultures. It effects equal number of men and women but the onset is often later in women than in men. Schizophrenia
is characterized by positive and negative symptoms. Positive symptoms include hallucinations, voices that Converse
with or about the patient and delusions that are often paranoid. Negative symptoms include flattened effect, loss
of sense of pleasure, loss of will or drive and social withdrawal. Both type of symptoms effects patient’s families
therefore, it is important for physician to provide guidance to all persons affected by the disease. Psychosocial and
family interventions can improve outcomes. Medications can control symptoms but virtually all antipsychotics have
neurologic or physical side effects (example weight gain, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes). There is 10% lifetime risk
of suicide in patients with schizophrenia.
