name the 4 non-neoplastic asbestos-related diseases

36
what are the two types (shapes) of asbestos fibers, and which one is more harmful
1) Serpentine - curly flexible fibers | 2) Amphibole - straight stiff fibers - more pathogenic, less easily ingested by macrophages
37
what are pleural plaques (result of asbestos) and where are they found anatomically
circumscribed plaques of dense collagen | most often arise on parietal pleura and diphragmatic domes
38
Parenchymal Interstitial Fibrosis (Asbestosis) - what is the time frame and pathogenesis - including what parts of the lung/airway
slowly progressive, heavy prolonged asbestos exposure, latency period 20+ years initial injury to respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts, macrophages attempt to ingest and clear debris, release fibrogenic mediators - fibrosis of adjacent alveoli
39
How do you differentiate Asbestosis from usual interstitial pneumonia (fibrosis) - upon looking at a histo slide
presence of asbestos bodies involve the body coating asbestos fibers with iron stuff golden brown beaded rods w/ translucent fiber cores (this will be question)
40
what is a method you can use to better determine if asbestos is present in a histo slide
prussian blue stain stains the iron containing proteinaceous material surrounding the asbestos fibers (ferrigenous bodies) (know this also) good pt history is impt to know to try this stain
41
what 2 drugs do you need to rule out as causes of fibrosis in the lung
1) Bleomycin | 2) Amiodarone
42
what other therapeutic process can causes fibrosis in the lungs
radiation, | especially to the chest

54
what type of hypersensitivity is hypersensitivity pneumonitis (chronic form)?
type IV (delayed type)
55
for hypersensitivity pneumonitis, what leads to fibrosis? how can you prevent fibrosis?
