Pregnancy and Lung TransplantationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 62-70 - 2021
Suneeta Gadre, Shruti K. Gadre
In this article, we review the impact of pregnancy in lung transplant
recipients. Specifically, we discuss maternal, fetal, and allograft outcomes.
Furthermore, we highlight important considerations for management of pregnancy
in these patients. Improved survival after lung transplantation means more women
of childbearing age; many of them with cystic fibrosis may be able to consider
pregnancy. De... hiện toàn bộ
The Diagnostic Approach to Interstitial Lung DiseaseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 149-159 - 2018
Kevin Dsouza, Joao A. de Andrade
Interstitial lung diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized
by varying degrees of inflammation and scarring of the lung parenchyma.
Diagnosis can be challenging and requires careful multidisciplinary appraisal of
carefully obtained history, physical examination, serological profile, imaging,
and, at times, lung tissue. We aim to provide a roadmap for the diagnosis of
ILD. The d... hiện toàn bộ
Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Asthma: More Than Chance?Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 84-91 - 2021
Donna L. Pepito, Jamal M. Mohammed, Kimberly A. Hardin
To discuss the current evidence regarding the association and mechanistic
interaction between asthma and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The co-existence
of OSA is highly prevalent in asthmatics and significantly associated with
increased severity, decreased control, more frequent exacerbations, and
hospitalizations despite medical management. Pre-existing asthma may also be a
risk factor for new o... hiện toàn bộ
Practical management of burns and inhalation injurySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 63-69 - 2016
Nathan L. Boyer, Damon A. Forbes, Kevin K. Chung
Burn injuries are often associated with profound physiologic derangements due to
the nature of the underlying injuries and the overwhelming inflammatory response
that ensues. In recent decades, a number of advancements have been made in the
management of thermal burns. Inhalation injury frequently occurs in patients
with thermal burns and can be a significant source of morbidity and mortality.

Advanced Imaging Techniques to Facilitate Bronchoscopic Sampling of Peripheral Pulmonary LesionsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-8 - 2024
Van K. Holden, Lakshmi Mudambi
This review describes real-time imaging modalities recently introduced into
bronchoscopic sampling of peripheral pulmonary nodules and appraises the data
available on these technologies. In the last 5 years, four different types of
imaging modalities have been introduced into bronchoscopic sampling of
peripheral pulmonary nodules: digital tomosynthesis, augmented fluoroscopy,
hybrid 2-dimensional/... hiện toàn bộ
Imaging in Occupational and Environmental Lung DiseaseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 63-73 - 2020
Pejman Rabiei, Emma C. Ferguson, Mina F. Hanna, Erika G. Odisio, Rosa M. Estrada-Y-Martin, Daniel Ocazionez
This review article aims to highlight the common and uncommon imaging features
of work-related and environmental lung disease to help the clinicians suspect
diagnosis in patients with occult or known exposures to inhalational potent
substances. Occupational and environmental lung disease are the most frequent
work-related illness in the USA with a recent resurgence mainly due to
inadequate exposur... hiện toàn bộ
Blast-related lung injuriesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 70-76 - 2016
David M. Ferraro, Paul D. Hiles
Blast-related lung injuries are occurring with increased frequency in a variety
of circumstances, necessitating that both civilian and military providers across
the healthcare spectrum understand how to promptly diagnose and manage these
injury patterns. Primary, secondary, and tertiary blast injury mechanisms are
most commonly encountered and can result in primary blast lung injury, air
embolism,... hiện toàn bộ
Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Secondary to Occupational ExposureSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 30-39 - 2021
Anupam Kumar, Kristin J. Cummings
Occupational exposures are associated with a wide array of respiratory disorders
that include asbestosis, coal workers’ pneumoconiosis and silicosis, asthma,
COPD, bronchiolitis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis,
sarcoidosis, and certain infections. Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is
characterized by accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material in the alveoli and
alveolar macrop... hiện toàn bộ
Lung cancer screening: what is new since the NLST results?Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 130-139 - 2016
Sébastien Couraud, Bernard Milleron
In 2011, the investigators of the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial reported
significant decreases in lung cancer mortality (20 %) and overall mortality
(6.7 %) in a selected high-risk population screened by annual low-dose computed
tomography. In so doing, they relaunched the debate on lung cancer screening. In
this review, we report on what has changed in this field since the publication
of t... hiện toàn bộ
