Asthma is a disease affecting the airways that carry air to and from our lungs. People who suffer from this chronic condition, long-lasting or recurrent are said to be asthmatic. The inside walls of an asthmatic's airways are swollen or inflamed. This swelling or inflammation makes the airways extremely sensitive to irritations and increases our susceptibility to an allergic reaction.

Peertechz's Open Journal of Asthma publishes manuscripts that prove to be the hallmarks for asthma treatment and invariably correlates with the disease severity and increases sensitivity and reactivity in the global society in relation to numerous types of stimuli associated with the Asthma.

Why Open Journal of Asthma?

Asthma affects the lives of millions individuals world-wide. For some the impact is intermittent, but for others it can be a daily, at times life-threatening, struggle. The first-line treatment for persistent asthma is usually Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS); however recent researches suggest that ICS may not be beneficial to a significant population of mild-to-moderate asthma sufferers. It has been also recognized that there is limited access to high-level acute care services for immediate treatment of patients with acute asthma, particularly in rural and remote areas.

In this scenario, Peertechz's Open Journal of Asthma emerged as an assurance to provide guidance on acute asthma management applicable to a range of clinical settings.

Open Journal of Asthma is an initiative of Peertechz to urge the scientists, doctors, researchers and individuals to research, write and publish manuscripts that can be milestones in finding definite and alternative treatments for Asthma that can have the potential to save the millions of dollars of global health-care system annually and to protect the Asthma patients from the risks of regular use of Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). The Open Journal of Asthma provides valuable information for clinical decisions using a patient-centered approach and establishes a benchmark for the standard care for people with asthma.
