Pulmonary interstitial emphysema presenting in a woman on the intensive care unit: case report and review of literature

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2011
Introduction Pulmonary interstitial emphysema is a life-threatening form of ventilator-induced lung injury. We present one of the few reported adult cases of pulmonary interstitial emphysema in a woman with respiratory failure admitted to our intensive ...

A Low Peripheral Blood CD4/CD8 Ratio Is Associated with Pulmonary Emphysema in HIV. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The prevalence of emphysema is higher among HIV-infected (HIV+) individuals compared to HIV-uninfected persons. While greater tobacco use contributes, HIV-related effects on immunity likely confer additional risk.

Pulmonary interstitial emphysema. [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1984
Forty one of 210 preterm infants ventilated for respiratory distress syndrome in a three year period had radiological evidence of pulmonary interstitial emphysema. The development of this condition was significantly associated with malpositioning of the endotracheal tube in a main bronchus and the use of high peak pressure ventilation.

Clinical outcomes of radial probe endobronchial ultrasound using a guide sheath for diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions in patients with pulmonary emphysema

Respiratory Research, 2019
Background Generally, structural destruction of lung parenchyma, such as pulmonary emphysema, is considered to be related to the low diagnostic yields and high complication rates of lung biopsies of peripheral lung lesions.

A formula for predicting emphysema extent in combined idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema

Respiratory Research
Background No single pulmonary function test captures the functional effect of emphysema in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Without experienced radiologists, other methods are needed to determine emphysema extent. Here, we report the development and

Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema syndrome: a radiologic perspective

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2015
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (that includes emphysema) results in significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is also a chronic and progressive parenchymal lung disease with an average survival of less than

Eosinophils promote pulmonary matrix destruction and emphysema via Cathepsin L

Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2023
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who exhibit elevated blood eosinophil levels often experience worsened lung function and more severe emphysema.

Pulmonary Vascular Volume by Quantitative CT in Dyspneic Smokers with Minor Emphysema

COPD, 2023
Reduced lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) at rest and increased ventilation (⩒E)-carbon dioxide output (⩒CO2) during exercise are frequent findings in dyspneic smokers with largely preserved FEV1.

Cardiovascular Function in Pulmonary Emphysema [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2013
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic cardiovascular disease, such as coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias, have a strong influence on each other, and systemic inflammation has been considered as the main linkage between them.
