Q

what is pulmonary fibrosis

A

scarring of parenchyma
may be idiopathic, associated with post disease processes (scaring), substance exposure, radiation, or autoimmune causes

Q

what is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis associated with

A

chronic inflammation (alveolitis)
- over production of connective tissue cells
- change in airspace with formation of honeycomb cysts

and overgrowth type 2
does not allow for repair/regrowth of the damaged epithelium

14
Q

what is the pathophysiology of CWP

A

coal dust enters alveoli
macrophages attack particles
inflammatory reaction with cytokine release
form nodules within alveoli
bronchiole dilates
airway will change shape
obstruction

16
Q

what causes silicosis

A

inhalation of crystalline silica - found in sand, concrete, mortar, glass, pottery, bricks

17
Q

what professions have the most exposure to asbestos

A

welders, ship builders, bricklayers, carpenters, plumers, painters, electricians, navy person, construction of old houses

18
Q

what is the presentation of asbestosis

A

initially asymptomatic but progresses to SOB, nonproductive cough, fatigue, clubbing, crackles, cor pulmonale, decreased lung volumes, diminished diffusion capacity

19
Q

What is a noncaseating granulomatous disease

A

sarcoidosis - marked accumulation of T lymphocytes and phagocytes -> granuloma formation
immune disorder - HLA gene

20
Q

the formation of granuloma elsewhere with sarcoidosis can lead to

A

diabetes insipidus with involvement of hypothalamus
meningitis
uveitis
restrictive cardiomyopathy
hepatospelnomegaly
arthralgia
erythema nodosum

21
Q

what is a parenchymal inflammation secondary to immune reaction to inhaled noxious stimuli

A

hypersensitivity pneumonitis
thought to be genetic predisposition

22
Q

what are the more common hypersensitivity pneumonitis

A

farmers lung
bird fanciers disease
local outbreaks: construction, ventilation or water contamination, manufacturing

23
Q

what is farms lung

A

most common subtype of hypersensitivity pneumonitis
m/c in humid areas
may be seasonal
exposure to fungi/molds, yeast, mites, animal dust, excrement, chemical

24
Q

What is bird fancier’s disease

A

seen in pigeon breeders - in this population, rates higher than in farmers
associated with handling of bird stool or material on feathers

25
Q

what can reduce your risk of hypersensitivity pnneumonitis

A

smoking

26
Q

define hypoxemia

A

decreased O2 in arterial blood

27
Q

define hypoxia

A

decreased O2 in tissues

28
Q

what is the cause of clubbing

A

result of chronic hypoxemia
m/c results from CHF, TB, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, cyanotic congenital heart disease
