Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an umbrella term covering over 100 distinct conditions, and is often used interchangeably with the term pulmonary fibrosis. Dr. Lee covers the main types, causes and risk factors.

Ninja Nerds!
Professor Zach Murphy will be presenting on Restrictive Lung Disease. We will be going into detail on the following main objectives:

1. Definition and Classification of Restrictive Lung Disease
– Gain insights into what constitutes restrictive lung disease and how it varies from obstructive lung conditions.
– Acquaint yourself with the classifications based on etiology, such as intrinsic lung diseases (interstitial lung disease, fibrosis) and extrinsic factors (pleural diseases, neuromuscular disorders).

2. Pathophysiology and Etiologies
– Explore the underlying mechanisms contributing to restrictive lung disease, ranging from inflammation and fibrosis to pleural effusions and chest wall deformities.
– Understand the altered lung mechanics and its relationship to the various causative factors.

3. Clinical Manifestations and Presentation
– Learn to recognize the signs and symptoms commonly associated with restrictive lung disease, such as dyspnea, reduced exercise tolerance, and dry cough.
– Identify potential indicators of severity, such as hypoxia, tachypnea, and the use of accessory respiratory muscles.

4. Diagnostic Criteria and Tools
– Understand the roles and interpretations of various diagnostic tests, including pulmonary function tests (PFTs), high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and lung biopsy.
– Familiarize yourself with the latest guidelines for diagnosing restrictive lung disease as outlined by professional bodies like the American Thoracic Society.

5. Initial Management Strategies
– Discuss evidence-based approaches for initial symptom management, such as oxygen supplementation and corticosteroids.
– Learn about the importance of supportive therapies, including physiotherapy and pulmonary rehabilitation, in enhancing quality of life.

6. Definitive Management Approaches
– Examine the various treatment options available, ranging from pharmacological interventions like antifibrotic agents to surgical procedures like lung transplantation.
– Evaluate the risks and benefits of each approach, grounded in the latest research and guidelines.

7. Complications and Prognosis
– Gain an understanding of the potential complications arising from untreated or improperly managed restrictive lung disease, such as respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension.
– Discuss the prognostic indicators and how variables like age, lung function, and comorbidities may influence outcomes.

How a Clot Can Become a Pulmonary Embolism

No Comments »

Deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) is a type of clot that forms in a major vein of the leg or, less commonly, in the arms, pelvis, or other large veins in the body. This video shows how in some cases, a clot in a vein may detach from its point of origin and travel through the heart to the lungs where it becomes wedged, preventing adequate blood flow. This is called a pulmonary (lung) embolism and can be extremely dangerous. To learn more about DVT and other blood disorders, visit ASH’s patient resources webpage http://hematology.org/Patients/.

This animation was featured in the documentary film “Blood Detectives.” To learn more about the film, visit http://www.hematology.org/Publications/Blood-Detectives/5246.aspx

DVTs and PEs. A deep vein thrombosis can lead to a pulmonary embolism. Both are bad, but what’s the anatomy that links these two things? We can also go over some terminology to make sure we understand the words, thrombus, embolism, and stuff.
