Childhood: asthma in pediatrics and lung cancer
Summarize asthma in pediatrics and lung cancer in terms of etiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnosis, and treatment rationale.
| The 5 General Topics of Disease Summary |
| 1. Etiology & risk factors |
| 2. Pathogenesis: The molecular mechanism of the disease process (How the disease process evolves) |
| 3. Clinical Picture: Signs& Symptoms, Sequelae, and Complications |
| 4. Diagnosis: Labs & tests (as well as screening tests and follow-up tests whenever applicable) |
| 5. Pathophysiologic rationale of treatment |
Asthma in Pediatrics
Etiology: Types, triggers

Pathophysiology: Different types of lung cancer- Which type is related to smoking- Which type is more responsive to radiation
Clinical Picture: Signs and symptoms
Diagnosis: and screening methods
