Acute or chronic pulmonary emphysema? Or both?—A contribution to the diagnosis of death due to violent asphyxiation in cases with pre-existing chronic emphysema

a contribution to the study of the association of pulmonary emphysema and peptic ulcer

this is a short survey on association of pulmonary emphysema and peptic ulcer in 680 hospitalized and 1218 private patients. the incidence of peptic ulcer in emphysemateous patient has been approximately evaluated as 38,80 /0 in hospital and 99% in private patients especially studied for this purpose. the probable cause or causes that may enhance the production of peptic ulcer in emphysemateous...

Selective alveolo-bronchography in chronic pulmonary emphysema.

A new method of bronchography, selective alveolo-bronchography (SAB), was described and recommended for clinical use in establishing correct clinical di agnosis of emphysema. The diagnosis of emphysema was made possible on the basis of morphologic findings in SAB. Further it was possible not only to differentiate emphysema from other chronic obstructive lung diseases, but also to distinguish th...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Emphysema Revisited

The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) encompasses two phenotypically related diseases, chronic bronchitis and emphysema [1-2]. Although the hallmark of COPD is inflammation and inability to maintain efficient gas exchange, emphysema is often characterized by atypical over-distension of the alveoli and permanent destruction of the surrounding supporting structures leading to irreversi...
