inductance

inductance /in·duc·tance/ (in-duk´tans) that property of a circuit whereby changing current generates an electromotive force (EMF) in the same or a neighboring circuit; the EMF is proportional to the rate of change of the current and inductance is quantitated as the ratio of these two.

Patient discussion about inductance.

Q. Does fish-oil helps exercise induced asthma? I was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma a couple of year ago, and since then had better and worse times with my asthma, although the treatment I get. I read in a newspaper that fish oil can help exercise induced asthma- is that true? Do I have to eat fish-oil specifically or can I eat fish instead (I really, really, hate fish-oil…)?

A. No one really proved that omega-3 actually helps asthma, although some doctors say it is. If I was in your situation, I’d just give it a try and see if it helps me (just ask your doctor before if omega 3 wouldn’t interfere with your other medications). Just remember that it’s not a magic, so don’t get disappointed if it doesn’t produce miracles on your asthma. Good luck!

Q. Is it possible for exercise induced asthma patient to exercise? After several times I felt I couldn’t breathe after running and swimming, I was diagnosed with Exercise induced asthma. I tried to resume my regular exercise, but after I developed shortness of breath couple of times I stopped again. Should I attempt exercise again? How can I exercise without having another attack of asthma?

A. In my opinion it’s very important that you’ll resume you exercise program. Aerobic exercise improves your heart and lung, and actually improves your capability to cope with asthma, so it won’t affect you so much. There are medications you can take before you start your exercise that prevent asthma attacks- ask your doctor.

Q. can smoking induce acidity on many ocassions i have felt discomfort similar to when i have acidity, but the problem goes away as soon as i stop smoking for a day or two??

A. if you mean gastric acidity-i did a little reading about it and i found an article from 2005 about a research on the subject. they didn't find any connection:

but then i found an article from 1985 that proofed there is a bigger chance of getting peptic ulcers if you are a smoker:

but then i decided to stop smoking anyway, and i went to check myself for peptic ulcer- apparently i had a Helicobacter Pylori, which is the bacteria that causes gastric and duodenal ulcers.
hope i helped.
