Asma - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: El asma es una enfermedad pulmonar que inflama y estrecha las vías respiratorias. Normalmente, a medida que usted inhala el aire circula libremente a través de la tráquea y luego a través de grandes conductos llamados bronquios, a través de conductos más pequeños llamados bronquiolos y finalmente hacia pequeños sacos llamados alvéolos. Pequeños vasos sanguíneos llamados capilares rodean los alvéolos. El oxígeno del aire que respira pasa a los capilares y luego el dióxido de carbono del cuerpo sale de los capilares y se dirige a los alvéolos para que los pulmones puedan deshacerse de él cuándo usted exhale. Los bronquiolos se expanden cuando el aire es cálido y húmedo y está libre de agentes irritantes y sustancias que causan alergias denominadas alérgenos. Cuando el aire es frío o seco, o contiene agentes irritantes o alérgenos, los bronquiolos se contraen. Si usted tiene asma, sus vías respiratorias se inflaman y se hinchan con frecuencia. Algunas sustancias pueden hacer que las vías respiratorias inflamadas reaccionen de forma aún más exagerada dando lugar a un ataque de asma. Los desencadenantes de los ataques de asma son ligeramente diferentes en cada persona, pero por lo general incluyen agentes irritantes y alérgenos del exterior como polen, humo, contaminación y clima frío. Agentes irritantes y alérgenos de interiores como moho, caspa de animales, ácaros del polvo y excrementos de cucaracha; alimentos que causan alergia como como pescado, mariscos, huevos, maníes y soja; y condiciones como infecciones respiratorias, estrés, emociones fuertes y ejercicio. Los síntomas de un ataque de asma incluyen tos, resuellos, dificultad para respirar y opresión en el pecho. Durante un ataque de asma, también conocido como bronco espasmo, los músculos que rodean las vías respiratorias se tensionan y la pared de las vías respiratorias se inflaman aún más. Las vías respiratorias también producen un moco espeso que las estrecha aún más, lo que dificulta la respiración. Si usted tiene asma, su médico le puede recetar medicamentos para reducir la inflamación de las vías respiratorias, la contracción de los músculos que rodean las las vías respiratorias o la secreción de moco en las vías respiratorias. Durante un ataque de asma, es posible que necesite usar un medicamento de rescate de acción corta llamado broncodilatador. Este medicamento hace que los músculos de las vías respiratorias se relajen rápidamente y alivia los síntomas en cuestión de minutos. Dado que no hay cura para el asma, el objetivo es evitar que usted tenga un ataque de asma mediante el uso de medicamentos de control anti inflamatorio de acción prolongada. Si los toma todos los días, se reducirá la inflamación de las vías respiratorias haciendo que las vías respiratorias sean menos sensibles a los factores desencadenantes de los ataques de asma.

What attorneys say about MLA and The Doe Report:
"Whether it's demonstrating a rotator cuff tear, neck movement a few milliseconds after rear impact, or a proposed lumbar fusion, the Doe Report represents an instant on-line database of medical illustration for health-care and legal professionals.

Illustrations can be purchased 'as is' or modified within hours and sent either electronically or mounted on posterboard. An illustration is worth a thousand words, as juries perk up and look intently to capture concepts that are otherwise too abstract. Start with good illustrations, a clear and direct voice, a view of the jury as 12 medical students on day one of training, and your expert testimony becomes a pleasure, even on cross examination. An experienced trial lawyer should also emphasize these illustrations at the end of trial, as a means of visually reinforcing key concepts covered.

As a treating physician, I also use these accurate illustrations to educate my own patients about their medical conditions. The Doe Report is an invaluable resource, and its authors at MLA have always been a pleasure to work with."

"Your firm is great to work with and, most importantly for me, you get the job done on time and with the utmost professionalism. You should be proud of all those you employ, from KJ to Ben B. I've been especially pleased over the years with the work of Brian and Alice, both of whom seem to tolerate my idiosycratic compulsion to edit, but I've not found a bad apple in the bunch (and, as you know, I've used your firm a bunch!). I look forward to our continued professional relationship."

"I wanted to thank you for the terrific job you did illustrating my client's injuries. The case was settled at the pre-suit mediation, and I believe a good part of the success we had was due to the medical legal art you prepared.

Your work received the ultimate compliment at the conclusion of the mediation. The hospital risk manager took the exhibit with them at the conclusion of mediation, and will be using it to train nurses on how to prevent bed sores..."

"At 3 PM it hit me--I needed exhibits of a tracheostomy, a coronary artery bypass and a deep vein thrombosis--all in time for a for-trial video deposition the next day. The Doe Report had each exhibit on line. In addition, I ran across an exhibit I hadn't even thought of: reduced ejection fraction after a heart attack. Because this was a video deposition, I could use the e-mail version of the medical exhibit, print it on my color copier, and let the camera zoom in. For $400, less than one blow-up by one of The Doe Report's competitors, I got four first-rate exhibits in less than a day. The Doe Report saved me time and money."
