Random Book Info Flashcards
the triad of ascites, pleural effusion and benign ovarian tumor
Meigs syndrome
what can increased lung diffusion capacity indicate?
polycythemia
what can low lung diffusion capacity indicate?
emphysema
rare lung disease that results in a proliferation of disorderly smooth muscle growth throughout the lungs, in the bronchioles, alveolar septa, perivascular spaces, and lymphatics, resulting in the obstruction of small airways. Usually in females of child bearing age.
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (interstitial lung dz)
Most common granulmoatous disease. Affects lymph nodes, will have low grade fever, joint pain, night sweats, erythema nodosum. ON chest x-ray wil lhave hilar adenopathy, infiltrates and fibrosis.
Sarcoidosis
opportunistic fungi that occurred mainly in malnourished premature infants and AIDS patients.
Present with Nonproductive cough, fever, dyspnea, wt loss.
Pneumocystis pneumonia
What us used to reduce nighttime cough symptoms with COPD?
Ipratropium
What is the DOC when cough interferes w/ eating or sleeping?
Codeine
What is the most effective OTC nonnarcotic antitussive?
Dextromethorphan
Sudden onset of pleuritic pain in conjunction with hemoptysis
Pulmonary infarction
Hemoptysis in patients w/ normal or nonlocalizing chest x-ray and nondiagnostic findings on fiberoptic bronchoscopy
oost cases resolve w/I 6 months with no cases of cancer, active TV or serious pathology emergering
Cryptogenic Hemoptysis
Fluid is bloody, malignant cells, high in hyaluronic acid and due to asbestos exposure after (20-40 years after)
Mesotheliomas
patient will present with dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain. Fluid from effusion will be clear or straw colored, blood, low glucose, white count (2,500), most cells lymphocytes.
Bronchogenic carcinoma
delayed hypersensitivity rxn to spillage of organisms into the pleural space during early bacteremia. Usually unilateral. Will have no cough of sputum. Will have an isolated effusion on chest x-ray.
Postprimary TB
If a pleural effusion is more right sided what should you think?
trasudative due to CHF
If a pleural effusion is more left sided what should you think?
Pericarditis or pancreatitis
what test helps diagnose unilateral diaphragm paralysis?
Fluoroscopy
Imaging useful for interstitial lung diseases and bronchiectasis
High resolution CT
Imaging that Better for vascular structures
Useful for aortic dissection, pulmonary emboli
MRI
Imaging that’s useful for Retrieval of foreign bodies, suctioning of secretions, re-expansion of atelectatic lung, assistance w/difficult endotracheal intubations
Bronchoscopy
ILD with lymphocyte transformation test.
Beryllium
ILD with antracotic pigment
COal worker’s pneumoconiosis
ILD with inflmmation, bi-refingent crystals, alveolar proteinosis.
Silica-induced
Variable PE findings, normal to end-stage honeycombing on x-ray. marcophages on histological findings
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis;
patchy fibrosis, fibroblasts
usual interstitial lung disease (UIP)
will be uniform, have fibroblasts and no fibrosis
acute interstitial pneumonia
ILD with histological findings that are Patchy or diffuse, prominent interstitial inflammation, fibrosis
nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSPI)
Will have vasculitis, inflammation on histology. Will have pleural effusions, diffuse infiltrates, occasional cavities.
Collagen vascular ILD
Will have fever, crackles, pleural fub. Pulmonary edema. Anti-RNP antibodies, eosinophilic infiltration.
Drug-induced ILD
Will have fever, malaise, erythema nodosum, iritis, uveitis, arthritis. Hilar adenopathy, Lymphocytic bronchoalveolar lavage T4>T8 subsets.
Sarcodosis
Will have crackles and fever. Will have endothelial and alveolar lining damage with acute.
