in bronchioectasis the airways can dilate 2x their normal size
False, 4x
chronic interstitial lung diseases are most often unilateral chronic diseases that decrease compliance of the lungs
False, Bilateral
In Chronic Interstitial Lung Diseases more pressure is required to expand the lungs because they are stiffer.
True
(increased effort to breathe)
Which disease do the terms “honeycomb lung and ground glass shadows” refer to?
Chronic Interstitial lung diseases
In what disease is there is a bilateral patchy interstitial fibrosis referred to as Unusual Interstitial Pneumonia
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
What are the symptoms of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Velco Like Crackles during inspiration
- nonproductive cough
dyspnea
cyanosis
what is pneumoconioses
a non-neoplastic lung reaction to the inhalation of mineral dust
what are the three most common mineral dusts inhaled in pneumoconiosis
Coal Dust (No Increase in Lung Cancer)
Silica (MC - Increases lung cancer risk)
Asbestos (Increased risk for malignant mesothelioma)
What are the three types of Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis? Which one causes a decrease in lung function?
1) Anthracosis (Pigment)
2) Simple Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis (Macrophages)
3) Progressive Massive Fibrosis **Decreased Lung Function
Silicosis is the most common occupational disease in the USA
False, Worldwide
Silicosis involved the inhalation of silica crystals (quartz) which increase ROS that destroy alveoli and causes hypoxia
True
Silicosis is most common in which region of the lung
upper lung near hilar lymph nodes
what is the most common asbestos related disease
Fibrotic pleural plaques
In which condition is there diffuse pulmonary interstitial fibrosis with the presence of asbestos bodies (small brown nodules)
Asbestosis
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized by the hallmark presence of what?
Noncaseating Granulomas
Sarcoidosis is one of the few pulmonary diseases with a higher prevalence in non-smokers
True
On a chest x-ray of a person with sarcoidosis what can you expect to see
bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy
More than 95% of Pulmonary emboli arise from thrombi in what area of the body?
Deep Vein Thrombosis from the lower legs
- popliteal or femoral veins
The consequences of pulmonary embolism depend on size. What are the two important consequences of pulmonary emboli
1) Increase in Pulmonary artery Pressure (HTN)
2) Tissue Ischemia/Infarction
Occlusion of a major vessel in the lungs results in what progression of events?
Sudden increased in artery pressure –> Diminished cardiac outpud –> right sided heart failure/cor pulmonale –>hypoxia/death
The majority of Pulmonary Emboli are clinically silent (60-80%) and the minority cause acute cor pulmonale or death (5%)
True
What percent of patients who have experiences a pulmonary embolism will have another
30%
What type of embolism is large and may lodge at a bifurcation causing occlusion of more than 60% of pulmonary artery supply
Saddle Embolus
where does a saddle embolism usually occur
at the bifurcation of the pulmonary artery
