Background. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease with a significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. 1 It is characterised by progressive airflow limitation that is not fully reversible and is caused by pathophysiological processes including the destruction of the alveolar walls which leads to the development of bullous emphysema. 2 Acute exacerbations are common among ...

Founded in 1905 to combat TB, the ATS has grown to tackle asthma, COPD, lung cancer, sepsis, acute respiratory distress, and sleep apnea, among other diseases.

CASE PRESENTATION: A 27-year-old male long-haul truck driver was admitted to our hospital after a 4-day history of severe chest pain and a 1-day history of sputum contained some blood and swollen left lower extremity. Ambulatory pulmonary computed tomography showed a patchy shadow in the lingula of the left lung, and the edges of both lower lobes showed decreased sharpness.

Examining case studies from patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) is important in order to evaluate current diagnosis and treatment options. Two cases will be discussed; the first case examines a patient with usual interstitial pneumonia, and the second case examines a patient with subacute ILD and elements to suggest a forme fruste presentation of an unclassifiable connective tissue ...

Based on the information given, the patient likely has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The key findings that point to this diagnosis include: Barrel chest. Tachypnea. A long expiratory time. Diminished breath sounds. Use of accessory muscles while breathing. Digital clubbing. Pursed lip breathing.

October 24, 2017. A 65-year-old man with a 60-pack-year history of cigarette smoking presents with worsening exertional dyspnea. Pulmonary function testing showed significant restrictive lung disease that was thought to be secondary to the patient's chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Two-dimensional echocardiography revealed a mean ...
