Asbestos-induced lung disease.
This review attempts to deal with two major questions concerning asbestos-induced lung disease: How does inhaled asbestos cause cell proliferation and fibrosis? and Will there continue to be risk from exposure to asbestos in schools and public buildings? The first is a scientific question that has spawned many interesting new experiments over the past 10 years, and there appear to be two hypoth...
متن کاملLung Changes in Shock
In the very beginning stage of the lung changes are Perivascular, capillary wall edema, thickening of the interstitial, lymph and vascular dilatation. In the late stage of the shock the following changes will occuree Microthromboses of the lung capillary, polynulcear infiltration into the interstitial, the existence of polynuclear in the alveoli, proliferation of interstitial mesenchyma,...
متن کاملAsbestos-related Lung Diseases: A Brief Update
Health risks from asbestos exposures have been evaluated, considering past professional histories when exposures at workplaces were higher than today. A linear no-threshold (LNT) model has been applied, although its relevance is unproven. Fibers are often found in the lungs and pleura of deceased people. Fiber findings do not prove that a disease is caused by asbestos. It is reasonable to assum...
متن کاملMeasurement variability in single-breath diffusing capacity of the lung.
STUDY OBJECTIVES The single-breath diffusing capacity of the lung (DLCO) is a commonly performed pulmonary function test. The current American Thoracic Society (ATS) recommendations for reproducibility of DLCO measurements suggest that two measurements for the DLCO agree within 10% or 3 mL/min/mm Hg of the average value. The European Respiratory Society (ERS) recommends that two measurements sh...
متن کاملApplication of carbon monoxide diffusing capacity in the mouse lung.
In the past decade the mouse has become the primary animal model of a variety of lung diseases. To assess various mechanisms underlying such pathologies, it is essential to make functional measurements that can reflect the developing pathology. In this regard, the diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide is a variable that directly reflects structural changes in the lung. Although measurement of ...
