Bullous Lung Disease Bullous lung disease is an uncommon cause of respiratory distress [1]. In patients with severe emphysema, discrete emphysematous bullae have been shown to functionally impair pulmonary mechanics and result in diminished exercise capacity and even acute respiratory distress [1-4].

- 1 Bullae and avascularity in the peripheral third of lung are findings in emphysema.  Hyperinflation of lungs occur in asthma, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. 1  Dark lung fields. 2  Low set diaphragm in 11th or 12th posterior rib.  Heart is vertical and narrow. This is the result of downward push of diaphragm by lungs.

Bronchiolitis obliterans Bronchiolitis obliterans. Not to be confused with Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia. Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO), informally known as popcorn lung, is a disease that results in obstruction of the smallest airways of the lungs (bronchioles) due to inflammation. Symptoms include a dry cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, and feeling tired. These symptoms generally get worse over weeks to months.

- Diagnosis. Patients previously diagnosed with emphysema or fibrosis of the lungs present a risk of pulmonary bullous disease. Doctors use CT image scans of the chest to detect the presence of bullae in the lungs, looking for telltale signs--such as compression of surrounding lung tissues.ulmonary bullous disease involves the presence of what the Mayo Clinic calls holes in the normal lung tissue.

Pulmonary fibrosis Pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis (literally scarring of the lungs) is a respiratory disease in which scars are formed in the lung tissues, leading to serious breathing problems.

What Two Roles Do Lichens Play in an Ecosystem? What Two Roles Do Lichens Play in an Ecosystem? By Marie-Luise Blue; Updated April 25, 2017 Lichens are composed of two different species, but they function as one. They consist of a fungus and algae, living together in a symbiotic relationship where the fungus is the dominant organism. The algae are either green algae or blue-green algae, known as cyanobacteria. The algae produce carbohydrates through photosynthesis which serve as food for the fungus, while the fungus physically protects the algae and provides it with moisture. Lichens can live in a wide range of locations and climates -- from the polar regions to the tropics.

- A giant bulla is a complication of emphysema. In areas of the lung completely damaged by the disease, air pockets can develop. These areas threaten the patient’s health not only because of the underlying emphysema.

- Crack the shell at each end. Once the eggs have cooled, remove them from the water and pat dry with some paper towel. Take an egg and firmly tap each end on a hard surface, such as a counter top, to crack the shell. Do one end, and then the other.. Roll the egg. Place the side of the egg on a counter and roll forward for one revolution with your palm firmly down on the top of the egg. You should place enough pressure on the egg that the shell cracks, forming a web of broken shell.

Bronchiectasis: Current Concepts in Pathogenesis, Immunology, and Microbiology Bronchiectasis is an obstructive lung disease that presents with chronic cough and sputum production, recurrent bacterial infection, tiredness, and progressive lung damage. It is the result of a complex interplay between host immunity, pathogen, and environment.

What is a Bulla? A bulla, bullae in plural, is the medical term for a large, thin-walled and fluid-filled blister. The walls of this type of blister are translucent, and the fluid inside can consist of lymph, blood, pus or serum, meaning any kind of clear bodily fluid.

Pneumoconiosis Pneumoconiosis is an occupational lung disease and a restrictive lung disease caused by the inhalation of dust, often in mines.In 2013 it resulted in 260,000 deaths up from 251,000 deaths in 1990.epending upon the type of dust, the disease is given different names: 1  Coalworker's pneumoconiosis (also known as miner's lung, black lung or anthracosis) — coal, carbon. 2  Asbestosis — asbestos. 3  Silicosis (also known as grinder's disease or Potter's rot) — silica.

Occupational Lung Diseases Coal worker's pneumoconiosis. Coal worker's pneumoconiosis is caused by inhaling coal dust. Also known as black lung disease, the condition, in severe cases, is characterized by scarring on the lungs (which often permanently damages the lungs and may lead to shortness of breath).About 2.8 percent of coal miners have coal worker's pneumoconiosis.Silicosis.xamples of organic dust diseases. Byssinosis. Byssinosis is caused by dust from hemp, flax, and cotton processing. Also known as brown lung disease, the condition is chronic and characterized by chest tightness and shortness of breath.

bronchitis Inflammation of the bronchi (tubes leading from the trachea into the lungs). It can be either acute (a short-lived, sudden attack) or chronic (a long-term condition). Acute bronchitis is normally caused by a viral infection. The main cause of chronic bronchitis is tobacco smoking.

Haemosiderin-laden macrophages in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of patients with diffuse alveolar damage Diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) is a relatively common histopathologic pattern seen on surgical lung biopsies and can be caused by infections, drugs, inhalational injuries, connective tissue diseases, and other forms of insult. It is the most common histology seen in patients with ARDS.

Is Colloidal Silver A Treatment For Bronchitis? Bronchi are airways in the respiratory tract that bring air into the lungs. This inflammation is typically caused by viruses or bacteria, but it may also be caused by inhaled irritants, such as cigarette smoke or harmful chemicals. Most cases of bronchitis cases involve a viral pathogen.

Silicosis Silicosis (previously miner's phthisis, grinder's asthma, potter's rot and other occupation-related names) is a form of occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of crystalline silica dust, and is marked by inflammation and scarring in the form of nodular lesions in the upper lobes of the lungs.ilicosis (particularly the acute form) is characterized by shortness of breath, cough, fever, and cyanosis (bluish skin). It may often be misdiagnosed as pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs), pneumonia, or tuberculosis. Silicosis resulted in 46,000 deaths globally in 2013 down from 55,000 deaths in 1990.

Bronchitis: Inflammation And Irritation Of Bronchial Tubes Chronic bronchitis is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mucus production increases in the bronchial tubes due to ongoing issues of irritation and inflammation. Breathing becomes difficult and the hacking coughing becomes chronic. The most common cause of chronic bronchitis is smoking tobacco.Viruses and bacteria can also play a role, because the afflicted bronchial tubes are vulnerable to picking up secondary infection. Pneumonia is an example of a secondary bacterial infection that can pile upon chronic bronchitis.ncreased mucus production that begins to form in the lining of the bronchial tubes is the body’s attempt to reduce the irritation and inflammation that has been building in the bronchial tubes. Bronchitis can occur in either an acute or a chronic form.

bronchitis bronchitis. inflammation of one or more bronchi. Signs of acute bronchitis include fever and an irritating cough. Bronchitis may be either an acute or chronic disorder and frequently involves the trachea as well as the bronchi (tracheobronchitis). The acute stage of the disease often is an extension of an upper respiratory infection which is usually viral in origin.

Black Lung Disease - Topic Overview Skip to the navigation. Black lung disease is a common name for any lung disease that develops from inhaling coal dust. This name comes from the fact that those with the disease have lungs that look black instead of pink. Medically, it is a type of pneumoconiosis called coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP). There are two forms: simple CWP and complicated CWP, which also involves progressive massive fibrosis (PMF). The inhalation and accumulation of coal dust into the lungs increases the risk of developing chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) BRD is the most devastating disease of the US cattle population. BRD is a general term for respiratory disease in cattle caused by a range of factors, singly or in combination. A major cause of economic losses, BRD affects the lower respiratory tract / lungs (pneumonia) or upper respiratory tract (rhinitis, tracheitis, bronchitis).
