Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1971
Abstract Conservative treatment of sialodochitis and ductal perforation is described. In this particular case, sialograms showed areas of stenosis in the right Wharton's duct near the gland hilus and an extravasation phenomenon caused by ductal perforation at the point where the duct curved over the posterior border of the mylohyoid muscle.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Comprehensive Physiology, 2014
Abstract COPD is characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The morphological basis for airflow obstruction results from a varying combination of obstructive changes in peripheral conducting airways and destructive changes in respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli.

Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 1981
Intestinal pseudo-obstruction (IP) is an uncommon disorder of gut motility which must be differentiated from mechanical intestinal obstruction. We have seen 11 such patients over the last 5 years. Characteristic symptoms, shared by mechanical obstruction, include abdominal distention and pain, nausea, and vomiting.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2015
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common disease with high global morbidity and mortality. COPD is characterized by poorly reversible airway obstruction, which is confirmed by spirometry, and includes obstruction of the small airways (chronic obstructive bronchiolitis) and emphysema, which lead to air trapping and shortness of breath in

Pathology of chronic airflow obstruction

Chest, 1990
Classification of chronic airflow obstruction may be based on the site of the obstructing lesions. It is seldom that only one type of lesion is present, but one may often dominate. In chronic bronchitis, the major disease of large airways, chronic mucus hypersecretion, is reflected by an increase in size of bronchial mucous glands. This may be a factor
