Reduced Lung Function and Progression to Prediabetes: A Prospective Study
Objective: Prediabetes is a state that people have blood glucose levels higher than normal but still not in diabetes range. There is a close relationship between impaired lung function and diabetes mellitus (DM). Reduced lung function can be present before the clinical evidence of diabetes or insulin resistance. Materials and Methods: The total number of subjects in this longitudinal study was ...
متن کاملParenchymal emphysema measured by CT lung density correlates with lung function in patients with bullous disease.
In subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) computed tomographic (CT) lung density correlates with direct pathological measurements of the size of the distal airspaces, as well as with measurements of airflow limitation and impairment of the diffusing capacity. Thus, CT lung density can be used to quantify emphysema in life. We wanted to assess the use of CT scanning to detect...
متن کاملDIFFUSE PARENCHYMAl lUNG DISEASE
Diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD) is a group of diseases that have the common characteristic of involving the pulmonary parenchyma diffusely. The pulmonary parenchyma consists of all structures distal to the terminal bronchiole. DPLD are numerous, there are some 150 different entities that qualify for the group. Most of these diseases are diagnosed according to common algorithm, but the e...
متن کاملCastleman disease-associated diffuse parenchymal lung disease
Intrathoracic involvement is common in Castleman disease (CD), but CD-associated diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD) is rare and not well-reported.We conducted a retrospective analysis of 262 CD patients with a definite pathological diagnosis who were hospitalized between 1999 and 2015.Twenty-two CD patients had DPLD based on chest computed tomography (CT) scans. Among them, 9 were male and...
متن کاملGenetic testing in diffuse parenchymal lung disease
Diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD) represent a diverse group of disorders affecting the distal lung parenchyma, specifically the tissue and spaces surrounding the alveoli, which may be filled with inflammatory cells, proliferating fibroblasts or established fibrosis, often leading to architectural distortion and impaired gas exchange. While the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms are known...
