Usefulness of lung ultrasound B-lines in connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease: a literature review
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a major pulmonary manifestation of connective tissue disease (CTD), leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is presently considered the diagnostic gold standard for pulmonary fibrosis diagnosis and quantification in the clinical arena. However, not negligible doses of ionizing radiation limit the use of ...
متن کاملB-lines: Transthoracic chest ultrasound signs useful in assessment of interstitial lung diseases
OBJECTIVE This prospective study was conducted to evaluate the value of sonographic B-lines (previously called "comet tail artifacts"), which are long, vertical, well-defined, hyperechoic, dynamic lines originating from the pleural line in assessment of interstitial lung diseases (ILD) and compare them with the findings of chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and pulmonary function ...
متن کاملInterpreting lung ultrasound B-lines in acute respiratory failure.
Th e article in this issue of CHEST (see page 1586) by Bataille et al 1 on thoracic and lung ultrasonography (LUS) is of high interest. Th is study has the great merit of going in the right direction. To date, scientists explored the potential of LUS alone because it represents a new paradigm. Now, it is time to move on and explore how LUS may further improve diagnostic workup by combining it w...
متن کاملThe Assessment of Health-Related Quality of Life in Scleroderma-Interstitial Lung Disease
Introduction: Pulmonary involvement is the most common cause of mortality and disability in patients with systemic sclerosis and it significantly affects the quality of life in these patients. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary involvement seems necessary in patients with SSc. In this study, we aimed to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with Sclero...
متن کاملInherited interstitial lung disease.
This article focuses on recent advances in the identification of genes and genetic polymorphisms that have been implicated in the development of human interstitial lung diseases. It focuses on the inherited mendelian diseases in which pulmonary fibrosis is part of the clinical phenotype and the genetics of familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and other rare inherited interstitial lung disease...
