Summary There is no doubt that the clinical presentation of patients suffering from chronic and severe irreversible airways obstruction is far from uniform. Among others, two distinct clinical patterns emerge, one being associated with severe anatomical emphysema at necropsy and the other with little or none.

The protease-antiprotease theory of emphysema is widely accepted, but exactly which cells/proteases play a role continues to be a controversial subject.Reports in humans show increased metalloproteinase activity in emphysema, but the exact role of metalloproteinases remains unclear.

Within the last several years, research scientists and clinicians have been intrigued with the potential use of an active form of vitamin A, retinoic acid (RA), for the treatment and prevention of emphysema. The interest in this area can be largely attributed to the work of Massaro and Massaro (1996, 1997, 2000) in which they presented evidence that RA

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2002
This article focuses on three main topics: (1) the importance of emphysema as a serious respiratory disease, (2) qualitative assessment of emphysema using CT, and (3) the emerging importance of quantitative CT in the evaluation of patients with emphysema for surgery and drug therapy. CT also can identify the major anatomic subtypes of emphysema.

Chest, 1974
T he load of disability and illness imposed on the Western industrialized nations by chronic bronchitis and emphysema is well known. I have chosen to talk on the topic of the prevention of emphysema because I think it is the central problem in relation to these diseases, and because serious and disabling chronic lung disease seems to involve ...
