Anderson, A. E., and Foraker, A. G. (1973). Thorax, 28, 547-550. Centrilobular emphysema and panlobular emphysema: two different diseases. Twenty-one cases of centrilobular emphysema and 19 cases of panlobular emphysema, previously so designated according to recommended criteria, were reassessed for differences in zonal distribution within lungs through systematic sampling and statistical compa...

Although previous studies have investigated the presence of psychometric comorbidities in individuals with emphysema, our understanding impact emphysema on general mental health and specific dimensions health, such as social dysfunction anhedonia, depression anxiety, loss confidence, remains limited. This research aims to examine influence its using GHQ-12 assessment. By employing confirmatory ...

BACKGROUND Spirometric parameters are the mainstay for diagnosis of COPD, but cannot distinguish airway obstruction from emphysema. We aimed to develop a computer model that quantifies airway collapse on forced expiratory flow-volume loops. We then explored and validated the relationship of airway collapse with computed tomography (CT) diagnosed emphysema in two large independent cohorts. MET...

endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) is widely used for the diagnosis and treatment of biliary and pancreatic tract disease. perforation is a rare complication of it, but it is associated with high rate of mortality, an overall mortality rate of 1.0-1.5%. here, a case of massive subcutaneous emphysema following ercp was reported without an obvious retroperitoneal or peritoneal ...

An attempt was made to determine if emphysema and static lung recoil were related in a group of 65 excised human lungs. We studied 23 normal lungs, 24 lungs with an emphysema score of 5 or less, and 18 lungs with an emphysema score greater than 5. A comparison of the percentage of predicted elastic recoil revealed that both emphysema groups were significantly different from normal lungs. In add...

Emphysema distribution is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is, however, unknown whether computed tomography (CT)-quantified emphysema distribution (upper/lower lobe) is associated with lung function decline in heavy (former) smokers. 587 male participants underwent lung CT and pulmonary function testing at baseline and after a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 2...

Pulmonary emphysema is a phenotypic component of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which carries substantial morbidity and mortality. We explored the association between emphysema and body height in 726 patients with COPD using computed tomography as the reference diagnostic standard for emphysema. We applied univariate analysis to look for differences between patients with emphysema...

BACKGROUND The degree of interlobar emphysema heterogeneity is thought to play an important role in the outcome of endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) therapy of patients with advanced COPD. There are multiple ways one could possibly define interlobar emphysema heterogeneity, and there is no standardized definition. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to derive a formula for calculating an ...

Based on clinical and radiological findings, Cottin defined combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) as pulmonary emphysema in the upper lungs and interstitial pneumonia in the lower lungs with various radiological patterns. Pathologic findings of CPFE probably corresponded with diffuse interstitial pneumonia with pulmonary emphysema, emphysema with fibrosis, and the combination of both...
