Obstructive Lung Disease

1989
Obstructive lung disease like chronic bronchitis, asthma, pulmonary emphysema and their numerous combinations result from acute or chronic influence of noxious factors on the structures of the respiratory system. While in chronic bronchitis and asthma the conducting airways are affected, in pulmonary emphysema the integrity of the pulmonary parenchyma ...

Parasitic lung diseases

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine
Purpose of review Parasitic lung diseases occur because of transient migration of parasites in the lung or because of a subsequent immunologic reaction. The purpose of this review is to scan for any recent developments in the epidemiology, diagnostics and treatment of these exotic diseases ...

Aspiration Lung Disease

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2009
The term aspiration lung disease describes several clinical syndromes, with massive aspiration and chronic lung aspiration being at two extremes of the clinical spectrum. Over the years, significant advances have been made in understanding the mechanisms underlying dysphagia, gastroesophageal function, and airway protective reflexes and new diagnostic ...

Orphan Lung Diseases

Medical Clinics of North America, 2019
There are hundreds of rare orphan lung diseases. We have highlighted five of them, one from each of the five major categories of pulmonary disorders: pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (a rare diffuse parenchymal lung disease), pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (a rare autoimmune and diffuse parenchymal lung disease), lymphangioleiomyomatosis (a rare cystic

Degenerative Lung Disease

Diseases of the Chest, 1954
Degenerative lung disease includes diffuse hypertrophic emphysema, bullous emphysema, and "vanishing" or "cotton-candy" lung. It is the author's concept that all of the above clinical entities are stages of one disease with a common etiological factor, namely obliterative vascular disease of both the bronchial and pulmonary systems.

Eosinophilic lung diseases

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2002
In the last 30 years studies have shown that the lungs have been the target of eosinophilic migration producing eosinophilic lung diseases (ELD) secondary to allergens, irritants, parasites, infections, antibodies and drugs. Specific diagnoses can be made by: (1) Peripheral blood eosinophilia and chest X-ray infiltrates. (2) Lung biopsy.

Scleroderma Lung Disease

Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology, 2010
Pulmonary involvement is second in frequency only to esophageal involvement as a visceral complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and has surpassed renal involvement as the most common cause of death. Interstitial lung disease and pulmonary vascular disease, particularly pulmonary arterial hypertension, are the most commonly encountered types of lung ...

Immunologic Lung Disease

Medical Clinics of North America, 1985
The term "immunologic lung disease" comprises a broad spectrum of disease. I have covered a few entities in which recent studies have been particularly helpful in elucidating pathophysiology though not in uncovering the inciting cause. Common to all of these entities is the problem of finding appropriate methods of defining disease activity and ...

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1991
The pneumoconioses, extrinsic allergic alveolitis, lung damage due to irritant gases, fumes, and smoke constitute the occupational lung diseases that affect the lung parenchyma. The pneumoconioses are diseases resulting from the accumulation of dust in the lungs.
