“Respiratory Sounds (Breathing Sounds)”  

Breathing Sounds (Respiratory Sounds)

    In and from our body's respiratory tract, Respiratory Sounds (Breathing Sounds), as lung sounds, are the noises heard of both normal respiration and of respiration abnormalities, on auscultation over any part of the tract.
    In and from our body's respiratory tract, Respiratory Sounds (Breathing Sounds) heard as respiration abnormalities may include: stridor, wheezing, rhonchi, crepitations, inspiratory gasp, crackles, hamman's sign (mediastinal crunch).

“Hyperoxia”  

    In our body, Hyperoxia as an abnormal increase in the amount of oxygen in the tissues and organs can be considered to be an oxidative stress condition.

“Hoarseness (Voice Hoarseness)”  

Voice Hoarseness

    In and from our body's respiratory system, the vocal dis-order (voice disorder), Hoarseness (Voice Hoarseness), is a respiration dis-orders associated with an unnaturally deep or rough vocal quality (voice quality).

“Hemoptysis”  

    In and from our body's respiratory tract, the respiratory tract dis-order, Hemoptysis is an expectoration or spitting of blood originating from any part of the respiratory tract, usually from a lung hemorrhage (bleeding) in the lung parenchyma and the bronchial arteries.

“Anoxia”  

    In our body, Anoxia, an hypoxia (hypoxiation), is the complete or relatively complete absence of oxygen in one or more tissues.

Hypoxia (Hypoxiation)

    In our body, Hypoxia (Hypoxiation) is a pathological condition in which the body as a whole or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply.

“Hyperventilation”  

    In and from our body, Hyperventilation is a respiration dis-order, involving a pulmonary ventilation rate faster than metabolically necessary for the exchange of gases, resulting from an increased frequency of breathing, an increased tidal volume, or a combination of both, which causes an excess oxygen intake, while blowing off carbon dioxides.
    Examples of related hyperventilation as a respiration dis-order includes:

• respiratory alkalosis

“Apnea Disorders”  

Apnea

    In our body's respiratory tract, Apnea is a respiration dis-order and a related respiratory tract dis-order involving a transient absence of spontaneous respiration.
    In our body, there are a number of sleep apnea syndromes that may occur when an Apnea event occurs while sleeping
    Examples of related apnea dis-orders include:

• Sleep Apnea Syndromes
  • Central Sleep Apnea
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea
    • Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome

“Hypercapnia”  

    In our body's blood, Hypercapnia is the manifestation of an abnormal increase in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in arterial blood.
    The risk of hypercapnia following oxygen therapy has been observed with other conditions such as morbid obesity, asthma, pneumonia, chest wall deformities and neuromuscular disorders.

“Coughs (Cough Reflexes)”  

Cough

    In and from our body, a Cough (Cough Reflex) is the body process of a sudden, audible expulsion of air from the lungs through a partially closed glottis, preceded by inhalation and as a respiration dis-order may be a sign of many allergic dis-orders such as asthma (bronchial asthma), rhinitis (stuffy nose), anaphylaxis, and drug allergies.

In and from our body, a Cough may be a protective response for the respiratory tract, that serves to clear the trachea, bronchi, and/or the lungs of irritants (such as exogenous organic, thermal, and chemical irritants) and secretions, or to prevent aspiration of foreign materials into the lungs.

Coughing Event

    In and from our body, the Coughing event may be divided into the first phase, consisting of fast inspiration with an opened glottis, followed by compression with a closed glottis with an increase in tracheal pressure, and, ultimately, maximum expiration with an opened glottis.

“Asthma (Bronchial Asthma)”  

Asthma

    In our body, as an obstructive lung dis-ease, Asthma (Bronchial Asthma) is a series of complex, overlapping individual chronic inflammatory airway dis-eases or phenotypes, each defined by its unique interaction between genetic and environmental factors, characterized by episodic reversible airway obstruction that variably presents with cough, wheezing, shortness of breath (dyspnea), or chest tightness.

In our body, the bronchial dis-order, Asthma (Bronchial Asthma) may clinically be defined by abnormal, reversible bronchoconstriction in response to a variety of non-specific stimuli with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (respiratory hypersensitivity), airway inflammation, and intermittent airway obstruction, characterized by wheezing (a respiratory sound), spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle and paroxysmal dyspnea (dyspnea).

In our body, the bronchial dis-order, Asthma (Bronchial Asthma) may be an infectious associated dis-ease linked or correlated with at least one infectious pathogen.
    Examples of asthma (bronchial asthma) subsets, conditions, subjects, concepts, processes and related entities include:

Induced Asthma Exercise-Induced Asthma Exercise-induced bronchoconstrictions Occupational Asthma Aspirin-Induced Asthma

Asthma Genetic Predisposition Allergic asthma Non-allergic asthma Cough-variant asthma Nocturnal asthma

Status Asthmaticus mild intermittent asthma mild persistent asthma moderate persistent asthma severe persistent asthma

“Stridor”  

    In and from our body's respiratory tract, Stridor, as a respiratory sound, is the high-pitched wheezing sound resulting from turbulent air flow in the upper airway.
