Q

What are the main inflammatory cells in the airway??

A
  1. Mast cells: These are the key cell of the innate immune system. They produce a variety of pre-formed and newly-formed inflamatory mediators.
  2. B lymphocytes: These produce antigen specific IgE (immunoglobulin E), in response to stimulation by interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 cytokines.

Of less importance….

  1. Dendritic cells - Antigen presenting cells.
  2. Epithelial cells - Secrete pro-inflammatory mediators (Thymic stromal lymphopoietin)
  3. Macrophages - Also express receptors which bind IgE and IgG

Q

What is the hygiene hypothesis?

A

It is hypothesized that exposure to certain microbes by early infection or from the environment may drive T cell production** towards the non atopic (Th 1)** phenotype, thereby reducing the occurence of Asthma.

Q

Which drug should an Asthmatic taking Salbutamol not be taking, and why?

A
  • What: Beta-Blockers (i.e. Atenolol)
  • Why: Salbutamol is a Beta-Agonist. Beta-blockers are Beta-Antagonists. These drugs will be acting in opposition, rendering them both ineffective.

Q

What is Omalizumab used for?

A

  • Specifically binds to free human IgE (immunoglobulin E)
  • ** AKA: Anti IgE antibody that aids atopic (not non-atopic) asthmatics.**

Q

Why does Omalizumab not help obese asthmatics?

A
  • IgE (immunoglobulin E) is an inflammatory mediator released in atopic asthma.
  • Omalizumab blocks production of IgE.
  • Asthma caused by obesity does not trigger IgE release as part of an immune cascade.
  • This monoclonal antibody anti-IgE treatment will therefore be ineffective.

Q

How does Omalizumab work?

A
  • Binds to free Ige (Immunoglobulin E), decreasing the amount of cell bound IgE
  • Decreases expression of receptors that have a high affinity for IgE (i.e. FceRI receptors)
  • Decreases the amount of inflammatory mediators released by cells such as mast cells, Basophils, or Eosinophils.
  • These collectively decrease allergic inflammation, and prevent exacerbation of asthma.

Q

What is the definition of Asthma?

A

“Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role.

The chronic inflammation causes an associated increasein airway hyperresponsiveness that leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing, particularly at night or in the early morning.

These episodes are usually associated with widespread but variable airflow obstruction that is often reversible either spontaneously or with treatment.”

Q

Week 210

Define Asthma.

A

A chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways,
characterised by airways hyper-responsiveness
with airflow obstruction that is reversible either
spontaneously or with treatment.

81
Q

Week 210.

What does this slide of an airway show? Which condition is this associated with?

A

This slide is from a patient that suffered a fatal Asthma attack. Note the inflammatory plug that is blocking the airway. There is bronchial wall inflammation, and a denuded epithelium. There is also bronchoconstriction.

The disease is, of course, Asthma.

82
Q

Week 210.

What is Churg-Strauss syndrome?

A

Churg–Strauss syndrome (CSS, also known as** eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis** [EGPA] or allergic granulomatosis) is an autoimmune condition that causes inflammation of small and medium-sized blood vessels (vasculitis) in persons with a history of airway allergic hypersensitivity (atopy).

83
Q

Week 210

What is Hyperventilation Syndrome? How might it present?

A

Hyperventilation syndrome (HVS); also chronic hyperventilation syndrome (CHVS) and dysfunctional breathing hyperventilation syndrome is a respiratory disorder, psychologically or physiologically based, involving breathing too deeply or too rapidly (hyperventilation). HVS may present withchest pain and a tingling sensation in the fingertips and around the mouth (paresthesia) and may accompany a panic attack.

84
Q

Week 210

How would Bronchiectasis present?

A

The classic clinical manifestations of bronchiectasis are cough and daily mucopurulent sputum production, often lasting months to years. Blood-streaked sputum or hemoptysis may result from airway damage associated with acute infection. Less specific symptoms include dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, wheezing, fever, weakness, and weight loss.

85
Q

Week 210

What is Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, and how does it typically present?

A

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a condition characterised by an exaggerated response of the immune system (ahypersensitivity response) to the fungus Aspergillus (most commonly Aspergillus fumigatus). It occurs most often in patients with asthma or cystic fibrosis.

Presentation clues:

  • Predisposing lung disease—most commonly asthma or** cystic fibrosis**
  • symptoms of recurrent infection such as fever
  • Do not respond to conventional antibiotic therapy.
  • Poorly-controlled asthma
  • Wheezing and hemoptysis
86
Q

Week 210

What is the (basic) difference between Extrinsic and Intrinsic Asthma?

A

Extrinsic Asthma is IgE mediated (It’s an immune response).

Intrinsic Asthma is non-immune i.e an infection, cold, stress or excersie induced Asthma.

104
Q

Week 210

A

The Parotid Gland - for salivation.

105
Q

Week 210

Where is the Otic Ganglion located?

A

Immediately below the Foramen ovale in the infratemporal fossa.

106
Q

Week 210

Through which nerve do secretomotor fibres reach the parotid gland from the Otic Ganglion?

A

107
Q

Week 210

Why does the tongue deviate after a Hypoglossal nerve injury?

A

Upon protrusion, the tongue will deviate TOWARD the side of the LMN lesion (i.e., same side). This is due to the unopposed action of the genioglossus muscle on the normally innervated side of the tongue (the genioglossus pulls the tongue forward). Remember, the genioglossus arises laterally in the tongue and inserts on the midline of the mandible.
