Chronic Pulmonary Emphysema

open access: bronzeJapanese Circulation Journal, 1956
Patients with chronic pulmonary emphysema were analyzed on clinical and morphological standpoints. Pulmonary function tests and selective alveolobronchography were used for this study. Significant differences in two types of clinical features of chronic pulmonary emphysema were demonstrated on one aspect, and remarkable overlapping of alveolar and ...

Persistent diffuse pulmonary interstitial emphysema mimicking pulmonary emphysema [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ Case Reports, 2007
A 69-year-old male non-smoker with a history of atopic asthma presented with symptoms suggestive of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and this appeared to be corroborated by lung function testing and a chest radiograph. However, a chest CT showed no evidence of pulmonary emphysema and instead demonstrated free air along the bronchovascular sheaths ...
