Pulmonary III - "DAD" & Obstructive Lung Disease

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show Diffuse alveolar and interstitial infiltrates in all lung fields. Radiographic characteristics overlaps with images of severe bilateral pneumonia or severe pulmonary edema.  
🗑
show Diffuse Alveolar Damage (DAD)  
🗑
show Process is initiated by an insult to capillary endothelial and alveolar epithelial cells, which results in V/P shunting, atelectasis, pulmonary edema/hemorrhage, and hyaline membrane formation that impairs gas exchange leading to severe hypoxia.  
🗑
Describe the relationship between pressure, alveolar radius, and surface tension   show
🗑
show 25%  
🗑
Favorable Prognostic Factors in ARDS   show
🗑
Indications for Mechanical Ventilation   show
🗑
show It is a value used to help determine the cause of hypoxemia. Normal value < 5mmHg (ranges 5-20 mmHg). Increased A-a gradient suggests either (1) diffusion defect (2) V/Q(ventilation/perfusion) defect (3) right to left shunt.  
🗑
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)   show
🗑
show Chronic Bronchitis  
🗑
show >0.4  
🗑
Histological characteristics of chronic bronchitis   show
🗑
show Chronic bronchitis patients.  
🗑
show Cor pulmonale  
🗑
A lung pathology characterzied by abnormal permanent enlargement of the air spaces distal to terminal bronchials, accompanied by destruction of the wall supporting those air spaces.   show
🗑
Etiology of chronic bronchitis   show
🗑
Histological findings of emphysema   show
🗑
(T or F) Severity of COPD is not dose-dependent   show
🗑
(T or F) History of recurrent childhood respiratory infection may contribute to COPD   show
🗑
show Hereditary anti-protease enzyme deficiency  
🗑
show Autosomal recessive  
🗑
show Centrilobular distribution. Predominantly the upper lobes and apices.  
🗑
show Lower lobe  
🗑
show (1)Tobacco smoke particles are phagocytozed alveolar macrophages. (2) Neutrophils are recruited and elastases are released by neutrophils (3) Alpha1 antitrypsin is inactivated by oxidants and free radicals in tobacco smoke.  
🗑
show Antiprotease enzyme that inhibits actions of elastases released by neutrophils  
🗑
show Panlobular Distribution of emphysematous changes  
🗑
A pattern of lung injury characterized as emphysematous changes limited to the distal acinus. Usually seen adjacent to scarring and fibrosis. Tends to localize subadjacent to the pleural, which can cause a spontaneous pneumothorax.   show
🗑
show Irregular involvement of the acinus with scarring. Usually a complication of various inflammatory processes (TB or histoplasmosis). These findings are usually not clinically evident.  
🗑
show (1) Dec FEV1 (2) Dec Vmax (3) Dec MMEF  
🗑
(T or F) Peptic ulceration is a complication of COPD   show
🗑
Lung disease characterized as wide spared narrowing of the bronchi and small airways which change in severity over short periods of time   show
🗑
show Extrinsic type Asthma  
🗑
A variant of asthma not associated with history of allergy. Begins at any age. Induced by psychogenic factors, cold, infection, or exercise.   show
🗑
Pathologic findings in Asthma   show
🗑
What are Charcot-Leyden Crystals?   show
🗑
show Intrabronchial mucus plugs containing whorl-like accumulations of epithelial cells  
🗑
show Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis  
🗑
Most common patient population affected by Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis   show
🗑
Symptoms of Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis   show
🗑
show Patchy interstitial pneumonia with lymphoid infiltrate admixed with plasma cells and eosinophils. Scattered interstitial microgranulomas a giant cells.  
🗑
show Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia  
🗑
show Patchy but temporally uniform filling of alveolar spaces and/or terminal bronchioles with loose fibromyxoid connective tissue plugs.  
🗑
show Steroids. >75% of patients respond to treatment.  
🗑
