/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Bronchial asthma is organism's defense reaction, a
breathing problem related to bronchial tubes' contraction as a result
of inhaling smoke, dust or other causative agents. As with allergy,
family history matters; there's a strong genetic component for asthma.
The number of asthmatics in Armenia comprises 5-7% , similar to any
country in our climatic zone, Russia, for instance," Bnabuzhutyun Ltd.
Manager, Russia's Natural Sciences Academy professor Andranik Voskanyan
said at November 27 news conference.
According to professor, mortality rate for asthmatics comprised 4 out
of 100 000 people before 1998-99. With the appearance of medicines,
controlling asthma attacks, mortality rate was decreased by four
times. "In our country, anti-asthma drugs are provided free-of -charge
for children under 14 as well as adults receiving treatment within
governmental order frameworks," Andranik Voskanyan noted.
Andranik Voskanyan named natural methods like solar treatment,
aerotherapy, thalassotherapy to be effective in asthma treatment. "We
should stop obsessing about respiratory viruses, including H1N1. They
may trigger the disease, but not more or less than other factors,"
professor explained.
