Abstraction: when applied to dance, this word refers to choreography that does not have a narrative character. In other words, an abstract dance does not tell a story, nor is related to symbolic contents or any kind of associations with feelings, ideas or other elements than movement itself.
Facts about asthma. 1  WHO estimates that 235 million people currently suffer from asthma. 2  Asthma is a public health problem not just for high-income countries; it occurs in all countries regardless of the level of development. 3  Asthma is under-diagnosed and under-treated.
Asthma (or Asthma bronchiale) is a disease that hurts the airways inside the lungs. It causes the tissue inside the airways to swell. Asthma also causes the bands of muscle around the airways to become narrow. This makes it hard for enough air to pass through and for the person to breathe normally. Asthma also causes mucus-making cells inside the airways to make more mucous than normal.
