Pulmonary surfactant, lung function, and endobronchial inflammation in cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease is primarily a disease of the small airways. We hypothesized that even in patients with normal lung function, a reduced surfactant function would be present and favor small airway obstruction. Bronchoalveolar lavages from 76 patients with CF (5-31 years, median 11) with well-conserved lung function (FEV1 94% predicted, range 78-121) and from 10 healthy control ...

Scadding, J. G. (1974). Thorax, 29, 271-28 1. Diffuse pulmonary alveolar fibrosis. The problems of diagnostic categorization of diffuse pulmonary alveolar fibrosis are outlined, and attention is drawn to the different implications of categories defined aetiologically and histopathologically. The pattern of pulmonary insufficiency associated with changes of these sorts is described, and the impo...

متن کاملInflammation and Pulmonary Fibrosis
The development of pulmonary fibrosis is the end point of a wide range of respiratory diseases including organic and inorganic dust exposure, pulmonary infection, acute lung injury, radiation, the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP), and connective tissue diseases. The most common fibrotic lung disorder is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), an IIP with the histological appearance of usua...
متن کاملCarcinoma of the lung and diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis.
The clinical and histopathological findings are presented in two cases of diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis in which carcinoma of the lung developed. In one case with rheumatoid arthritis and diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis there was ;malignant pulmonary adenomatosis', an association which does not appear to have been reported before. In the second case idiopathic diffuse intersti...
