27
Q

why see air bronchograms in CXR of alveolar pulmonary edema

A

No disease in airways so are radiolucent (let X ray through and appear black) bc disease in airspace

29
Q

Acinar pattern: what is the differential or what can be filling the airways

A

fluid, pus (pneumonia), blood (alveolar hemorrhage), pissou

30
Q

alveolar pulmonary edema appearance on gross histology

A

lung parenchyma grey instead of red. greyish tissue goes 1 cm around edge of bronchial wall
Alveolar airspaces filled or obliterated

31
Q

3 categories of edema

A

early pulmonary edema
interstitial pulmonary edema (non parenchymal)
alveolar pulmonary edema (parenchymal)

32
Q

early pulm edema: pulm capil wedge pressure + CXR findings

A

13-18 mmHg. Engorged blood vessels, resulting in redistribution

33
Q

interstitial pulmonary edema: pulm capil wedge pressure + CXR findings

A

18-25 mmHg. Kerley B lines. Thickened fissures

34
Q

alveolar pulmonary edema: pulm capil wedge pressure + CXR findings

A

more than 25mmHg. Air bronchograms + Consolidation

35
Q

redistribution meaning on X-ray

A

normally, see vessels in airways better on lower parts of lungs. If pressure increase bc of left heart failure, redistribution of blood towards top of X-ray

36
Q

mechanism of edema in left heart failure

A

increase in pressure in pulm circulation and so in pulm capillaries too. Fluid leaks to alveolar airspace

37
Q

why initially non parenchymal IS affected in edema and only severe edema affects parenchymal

A

initial leak in alveolar airspace is sucked in non parenchymal IS (making interlobular septa and perivascular IS thick) to keep gas exchange
At certain point, this capacity is surpassed

38
Q

Name of phenomenon when airspaces are filled with fluid

A

Consolidation

of whole lobule or acinus

39
Q

Treatment to edema

A

Diuretic to mobilize fluid (diuretic = makes you pee)

40
Q

Pneumonia def

A

lung infection with bacteria, virus or fungus

41
Q

pneumonia symptoms examples

A

slowly progressive dyspnea, low grade fever (38.2)

42
Q

pneumonia CXR findings

A

fluffyness. Cloudy white appearance.

43
Q

interstitial pneumonia histology of the alveoli

A

Thicker alveolar septum. Lymphocytes.

Might see something inside alveolar airspace if is also involved

44
Q

what interstitium do we mean to be affected when say interstitial pneumonia

A

parenchymal interstitium

45
Q

Normal CT: what we can see

A

vessels, airways, intralobular septum

46
Q

Abnormal CT: what can be seen

A

Parenchymal, IS or airspace disease with variety of patterns (whitening of parenchyma area, complete whitening is consolidation), etc.

47
Q

Sarcoidosis example of symptoms

A

painful red eye, blurred vision

48
Q

sarcoidosis X ray findings

A
enlarged hilar lymph nodes on both sides (bilateral hilar adenopathy)
interstitial pattern (kerley B lines but not exactly)
49
Q

lymphadenopathy definition

A

disease of the lymph nodes, in which they are abnormal in size, number, or consistency.

50
Q

Low magnif histo stain finding in sarcoidosis

A

Normal parenchyma. non parenchymal IS surrounding vessels is involved (appears pink)

51
Q

higher magnif histo stain finding in sarcoidosis

A

non necrotizing granuloma. middle cells have elongated nuclei + lightly eosinophilic center

52
Q

Important cell type found in non parench IS in sarcoidosis

A

Epitheloid histiocyte (activated macrophage)

53
Q

sarcoidosis: bands of pinker tissue that is hypocellular, in the granulomas: what is it + shows what

A

collagen. shows fibrosis

54
Q

how sarcoidosis heals (2)

A

treatment or by itself, giving fibrosis

55
Q

from inside to outside of granuloma, how epitheloid histiocyte number varies. in sarcoidosis

A

more on outside than inside

56
Q

sarcoidosis affects what system specifically

A

multi-system disease

57
Q

what percentage of patients with sarcoidosis have their lungs affected

A

95%

58
Q

3 names of the variants of sarcoidosis

A

Loefgren’s syndrome

A

arthritis affecting 5 or more joints simultaneously

A

fever, enlarged parotid and uveitis

63
Q

Lupus pernio symptoms

A

Violaceous papules on nose, lips and cheeks

64
Q

3 tests to diagnose sarcoidosis

A

CXR, bronchoscopy, pulmonary function tests (PFTs)

65
Q

what bronchoscopy allows in sarcoidosis

A

confirm diagnosis with trans-bronchial or lymph node biopsy

66
Q

what PFTs show in sarcoidosis

A

mixed restrictive obstructive pattern

67
Q

how many stages to sarcoidosis

A

4

68
Q

1st stage of sarcoidosis

A

hilar lymph nodes enlarged

69
Q

2nd stage of sarcoidosis

A

hilar adenopathy + parenchymal involvement

70
Q

3rd stage of sarcoidosis

A

lymph nodes back to normal and disease persists

71
Q

4th stage of sarcoidosis

A

lung destruction starts, fibrosis, bronchiectasis, airways pulled open by fibrotic lung

72
Q

treatment of sarcoidosis

A

Often not needed
steroids help improve
less often: chemo, anti-malarial agents, anti TNF agents. lung transplant
