Q

ARDS

A

capillaritis = increased permeability»inflammation>widened gap jxn>exudation>neutrophils mediate injury

SARS/influenza
micro=diffuse alveolar damage
permits exudation fr injured vessles into alveoli w/formation of HYALINE MEMBRANES

Q

asthma detail

A

IgE formed in response to exposure to allergen.
IgE antibody attaches to mast cells; mast cells release histamines, proteases; vagal receptors stimulated to produce edema and bronchial constriction.
Eosinophils and neutrophils recruited that damage mucosa; leukotrienes elaborated from arachadonic acid that intensify (2nd phase) bronchoconstriction.
Nonatopic type due to exercise, viral infection or aspirin
Morphology of asthma: Bronchi demonstrate edema, infiltrate of eosinophils, increase in mucous glands and smooth muscle hypertrophy

28
Q

interstitial fibrosis

A

injury, repair, injury, repair

dry/velcro like rub

29
Q

pneumonoconisis

A

chronic fibrosing diseases of the lung due to occupational exposure to inhaled dusts

30
Q

silica

A

increased risk of TB

31
Q

ASBESTOS

A
insulation
pleural plaques- CARCINOGENIC
asbestos/ferruginous bodies (looks like a screw)
progressive, involves lower lobes
years after exposure
32
Q

radiation & lung

A

1-6 mo after radiation
hyaline membranes, responds to corticosteroids

chronic radiation pneumotitis: interstitial fibrosis (permanent)

33
Q

SARCOIDOSIS

A
multisystem disease characterized by NONCASEATING GRANULOMAS in many tissues & organs
TYPE IV (cell mediated)
GRANULOMAS = ALWAYS TYPE IV
NON TB RELATED
34
Q

laryngeal carcinoma

A

squamous cell carcinoma
arises from dysplasia>carcinoma in situe
Most associated with tobacco smoking and alcohol abuse May be due to asbestos; radiation

Tumors of the true vocal cords (glottis tumors) cause hoarseness Local growth into tissues of the neck; cure rate 65%
//suffocates one locally; doesn’t metastasis

35
Q

laryngeal papillomas

A

Benign HPV-related neoplasm(s) of vocal cords, larynx

May be multiple and may recur, esp. in children

36
Q

A

nonneoplastic reactive proliferation of vocal cord due to voice oversuse, eg “singers nodes”
HOARSENESS

37
Q

not curable
morphology: asbestos body

38
Q

pneumothorax

A

air in pleural cav due to puncture
secondary to rupture emphysematous bleb in a pt w/emphysema or ruptured cavity
