Respiratory muscle function in interstitial lung disease.
Interstitial lung diseases limit daily activities, impair quality of life and result in (exertional) dyspnoea. This has mainly been attributed to a decline in lung function and impaired gas exchange. However, the contribution of respiratory muscle dysfunction to these limitations remains to be conclusively investigated. Interstitial lung disease patients and matched controls performed body plet...
متن کاملRespiratory bronchiolitis-interstitial lung disease
Respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease (RB-ILD) is a rare, mild inflammatory pulmonary disorder that occurs almost exclusively in current or former heavy smokers, usually between the third and sixth decades, most likely with no gender predilection. The onset is usually insidious with exertional dyspnea and persistent cough, which may be non-productive, developing over a ...
متن کاملFunctional respiratory assessment in interstitial lung disease.
Interstitial lung diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders that affect, to a greater or lesser degree, the alveolus, peripheral airway, and septal interstitium. Functional assessment in patients suspected of having an interstitial lung disease has implications for diagnosis and makes it possible to objectively analyze both response to treatment and prognosis. Recently the clinical value ...
متن کاملRespiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease.
Respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease (RBILD) can be viewed as an exaggerated respiratory bronchiolitic response to cigarette smoke. The histologic, high-resolution computed tomographic (HRCT) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) features of RBILD overlap substantially with those of respiratory bronchiolitis, with the diagnosis of RBILD being based upon the severity of dise...
متن کاملDesquamative interstitial pneumonia and respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease.
Our understanding of the various types and patterns of diffuse lung disease that might result in fibrosis has evolved considerably over the last 50 years. Many entities now regarded as distinct had been previously "lumped'' together as a single disease, "lung fibrosis,'' and more recently misdiagnosed as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF, synonymous with cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis). In 1...
