Pathophysiology of Emphysema

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1983
The pathophysiology of emphysema is best explained on the basis of decreased pulmonary elastic recoil. At any pleural pressure, the lung volume is higher than normal. Additionally, the altered relation between pleural and alveolar pressure facilitates expiratory dynamic compression of airways.

Requirement for macrophage elastase for cigarette smoke-induced emphysema in mice.

Science, 1997
To determine which proteinases are responsible for the lung destruction characteristic of pulmonary emphysema, macrophage elastase-deficient (MME-/-) mice were subjected to cigarette smoke.

An unusual emphysema

European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2015
An 87 year-old woman with a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes and post-menopausal osteoporosis presented with a 5-day history of low-grade intermittent fever, epigastric pain and shortness of breath. At admission, patient was normotensive but tachycardic (HR 106 beats/min) and tachypneic (RR 26 breaths/min), and oxygen saturation was 96% while ...

Emphysema: looking beyond alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2019
Introduction: Distinct pathologies can cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Emphysema is a COPD-phenotype characterized by destruction of lung parenchyma.

Erythrocytosis in Emphysema

British Journal of Haematology, 1963
Marked erythrocytosis is frequently seen in hypoxia due to high altitudes and cyanotic congenital heart disease (Hurtado, Merino and Delgado, 1945) but is relatively uncommon in association with chronic respiratory failure (Baldwin, Cournand and Richards, 1949). This discrepancy has exercised a number of writers.

An Emphysema Clinic

AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1965
ter to its stimulating effects until, eventually, the center no longer responds to the presence of carbon dioxide. Thus, in chronic emphysema, the respiratory center-rather than responding to carbon dioxide concentrations-is stimulated by the chemoreceptors which respond to low oxygen tensions of the blood.

The induction of pulmonary emphysema with human leukocyte elastase.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
Purified human leukocyte elastase was injected into the tracheas of 46 hamsters. Thirteen animals died spontaneously within 1 week, with extensive lung hemorrhage.

Effects of emphysema on physiological and prognostic characteristics of lung function in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Respirology (Carlton South. Print), 2018
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is characterized by preserved lung volume and slower lung function decline. However, it is unclear at what extent emphysema begins to impact respiratory physiology and prognostic characteristics in ...

Radiology and emphysema

Clinical Radiology, 1964
Summary Criteria for the x-ray diagnosis of gross widespread emphysema with air trapping are put forward, and the variations of x-ray appearances which fulfil these criteria are described. The reliability and prognostic value of the x-ray findings are discussed.

BRONCHITIS AND EMPHYSEMA

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1957
Bronchitis proper is a distinct entity from emphysema. Causal relationship between them is exceptional rather than usual. Severe bronchitis and diffuse pulmonary emphysema are to a large extent incompatible. Simple chronic bronchitis is a common trivial disease of the central tracheobronchial tree.
