Bronchioloalveolar lavage is done and pulling out a bunch of milky looking surfactant and protein from it fluid, from the alveolar spaces

122
Q

Pneumoconiosis happens from what

A
  1. Occupational exposure (in this case I have to find out all who have been exposed)
  2. Air pollution
    = some pts have more exaggerated response
123
Q

Pneumoconiosis is worse in who

A

Smokers (ciliary clearance)
Smaller particles
High and repetitive exposure to toxins

124
Q

Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis 3 conditions that these patients can get

A
  1. Anthracosis (accumulation of coal pigment)
  2. Coal Macules / Nodules
  3. Progressive Massive Fibrosis (advanced and fatal stage, usually does not progress there unless Smokey Coal to heat cabins and homes DO PROGRESS)
125
Q

Silicosis comes from what

A

Inhaling silicon dioxide (mining , concrete repair, demolition) = HIGH CHANCE CANCER

126
Q

Silicosis what happens

A 
SLOW progressive (even after exposure is gone) fibrosis 
= silica deposits in collagenous nodules* + calcification (EGGSHELL CALCIFICATIONS)*
127
Q

Silicosis on CXR or CT

A

Circles at the hilum are seen = eggshell calcifications

CT : rings white that are seen in the fibrotic area

128
Q

Silicosis location

A

Fibrosis is more upper lobular location

129
Q

Coal miner pneumoconiosis and cancer

A

No link unless bituminous coal

130
Q

Asbestosis caused by what

A 
Inhaling asbestos fibers 
= Insulation workers 
= shipyard navy workers
= paper mill workers
= Oil or chemical refinery worker
131
Q

Asbestosis diseases it causes

A
  1. Pleural fibrosis, effusion, mesothelioma
  2. Lung interstitial fibrosis, carcinoma
  3. Other cancers (like liver)
132
Q

Asbestos fibers are dangerous for hat reason and histology

A

They are thin and straight = easy to travel down and are nerves removed
= Asbestos Bodies (FERRUGINOUS BODIES)
= look like brown straight lines with some beads on it (M that is the beading on it)

133
Q

Pleural plaque formation happens in what condition and what does it look like on histology

A

Asbestos

= Candlewax dripping on pleura , hyalinized collagen

134
Q

Mesothelioma associated with what

A

Asbestos even after decades after exposure
= cancer in the lungs
= can come from the pleural plaques

135
Q

What does a PE look like in the CXR

A
  1. Wedge shaped lesion that’s white = small PE
    Or a red infect that’s also wedged shaped
  2. Saddle PE = fatal right HF from big PE
136
Q

Lines of Zahn

A

How you can tell if pt died from coagulation from death or if it was the cause of death
= IF CAUSE OF DEATH ——> lines of alternating red (RBCs) and white (plt, fibrin)

137
Q

Angiography of PE

A

Contrast does not go down all the way to the smallest vessels only in big branches

138
Q

BM emboli

A

Cause PE from trauma or chest compressions (you see fat and lymph cells)

139
Q

Talc Embolism

A

Drugs takes by IV can cause a shiny looking PE

140
Q

Septic emboli

A 
Can happen form IV drug use 
Can also happen from endocarditis 
= infective material ABSCESSES in blood ——> PE 
= valve vegetation ——> PE
1. Jane way lesions 
2. Roth spots 
3. Splinter hemorrhages
141
Q

Pulmonary HTN is what

A

Pulmonary Artery P > 20mmHg

142
Q

Pulmonary HTN happens when

A
  1. More genetic young pts primary vascular disease
  2. Left HF
  3. . hypoxia or Chronic Pulmonary parenchymal disease
  4. From PE
143
Q

Pulmonary HTN histology

A
  1. Knotted BVs = PLEXIFORM LESION

2. Medial hypertrophy (SM in vessels)

144
Q

3 Pulmonary Hemorrhage Syndromes

A
  1. Goodpasture Syndrome
  2. Granulomatosis with Polyangitis (Wagner granulomatosis)
  3. Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis
145
Q

Pulmonary Hemorrhage Syndrome histology

A

Hemosiderine stained M in lungs and blood hemorrhaging

146
Q

Goodpasture Syndrome what happens and histology

A

ABs attacking collagen4 on BM = linear immunofluorescence study
+ you see the RBCs around the linear staining in histology
= TYPE 2 hypersensitivity

147
Q

Goodpasture Syndrome prevalence

A

Male younger age 2nd-3rd decade

= AB against collagen 4 on BM

148
Q

Goodpasture Syndrome attacks what organs

A

Lungs and Kidneys

149
Q

Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis

A

Wagners Disease
= granulomatous inflammation that can hemorrhage (can look like pneumonia)
= a lot of bleeding in the lung
= BV necrotizing granuloma

150
Q

Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis prevalence

A

Male over 40yo
= ANCA +
= saddle nose necrotizing granulomatous
= bleeding in lung alveoli
