Recent studies have found, people with asthma now have renewed hope to be able to live normal, ie, by radio waves.
Asthma is a chronic disease (chronic) that attacks the respiratory tract (bronchiale) in which there is pulmonary inflammation (inflammatory) bronchiale cavity walls, causing constriction of the airways that eventually someone is experiencing shortness of breath.
Asthma is most prevalent in developed countries, especially the high levels of air pollution, both from the fumes and dust of the desert.

This action by opening the airways so that will dramatically reduce the symptoms, debilitating, and help patients live normal lives.
As quoted from Dailymail, recurrent asthma attacks can indeed cause lung tissue to thicken. But this new treatment to prevent it by opening the airways so that the patient can breathe more easily.
In operation, the tube is inserted through the patient's nose into the lungs. Then a wire with a structure like a basket placed at the bottom of the tube and heated, thus producing the radio waves to burn the tissue in the airways are blocked.
This operation takes one hour and will be repeated 1-2 months until nearly all the air ducts repaired.
"It's very interesting. It may be a new option for patients with severe asthma who still have symptoms, although it has been undergoing drug therapy," said Rob Niven.
But he stressed that this treatment is only suitable for people with severe asthma
