Lung transplantation for interstitial lung disease
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2004Lung transplantation remains the only therapeutic option shown to improve survival for many end-stage interstitial lung diseases. Although idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is the most common indication, transplantation has been performed for many other diseases.

Lung Development and Adult Lung Diseases
Chest, 2007Adult respiratory diseases are caused by many factors, including genetic-environmental interaction. Genetic abnormalities can impact early fetal lung development, postnatal lung maturation, as well as adult lung injury and repair. Studies suggest that abnormally developed lung structure and function may contribute as a susceptibility factor for several

Interstitial lung disease in children is a complex group of disorders whose etiology and pathogenesis is not entirely clear. Although the basic pathogenesis has been extrapolated from adult studies, its relevance in the pediatric population can be questioned.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease leading to respiratory failure. Mutations in telomerase complex genes (TERT or TERC) and short telomeres are genetic risk factors for the development of familial or sporadic idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Up to 15% of familial cases and approximately 5% of sporadic cases

Eosinophils are involved in the pathogenesis of a number of lung diseases. Recent advances in eosinophil biology have now produced clinically applicable therapies that seek to counter eosinophilia in blood and lungs. This article reviews the basic biology of eosinophils and their role in mediating T-helper 2 cell responses.

Among the numerous ways by which drug-lung relationships can be discussed we chose to examine three questions: Is the lung capable of directly modulating drug pharmacokinetics? Knowing that the pulmonary circulation can exert very selective and efficient clearance and catabolism of biogenic molecules such as serotonin (5-HT), norepinephrine (N.E ...

Malignant disease and the lung
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2000Primary lung tumours in childhood are rare. However, cancer in a child may have an impact on the lung in a number of ways. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy may be directly toxic to the lung. Young children are particularly sensitive to the effects of radiotherapy, which can cause impairment of growth of muscle, skin and bone, in addition to its direct ...

The eosinophilic lung diseases may manifest as chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, acute eosinophilic pneumonia, or as the Löffler syndrome (generally of parasitic etiology). The diagnosis of eosinophilic pneumonia is made when both characteristic clinical-imaging features and alveolar eosinophilia are present.
