Miller2 Flashcards
Increased angiogenesis. Involved in BPD and ROP. Blocked > alveolar size similar to emphysema
VEGF
3-7 wks
Embryonic stage
28 days > right and left mainstem bronchi present
Embryonic stage
44 days > pulmonary arteries arising from 6th pair aortic arches
Embryonic stage
TE fistula risk
Embryonic stage
Initial branching occurs resulting in 5 lobes of adult lung
Embryonic stage
5-17 weeks
Pseudo glandular stage
Rapid branching of pulmonary tree
Pseudo glandular stage
Mucous glands develop with mucous production by 14 wks
Pseudo glandular stage
Increased IL4/5, CD4 lymphocytes
Asthma
Increased PMN and CD8 lymphocytes
COPD
Vaccinate against flu and strep pneumo
COPD
Changes in small airways (non-cartilaginous). After autoimmune diseases
Interstitial disease
Increased alveolarization, decreased BPD. No change in PFT
Retinoids acid (vit A)
