Bronchograms were made in eight men, chosen on clinical grounds as representative of three grades of severity in a series of 67 male bronchitis studied prospectively over a period of 10 years, with the object of ascertaining the anatomical condition at the end of this period. In the stationary group the bronchograms showed only a mild mucous reaction, and peripheral filling was generally good. In the slowly progressive group, mucous obstruction was evident and fairly widespread, and organic changes were present, though not widespread or severe. In the progressive group, both mucous obstruction and organic change were widespread. It was noted that when both mucous obstruction and organic changes were observed the upper lobes were seen to be relatively normal with the exception of the progressive cases in which all changes were more severe. The bronchographic abnormalities were found to be closely correlated with the grades of clinical severity.. ...

A bronchography is a radiographic (x-ray) examination of the interior passageways of the lower respiratory tract. The structures of the lower respiratory tract, which include the larynx (voice box), trachea (windpipe), and bronchi (larger branching airways to the lungs), become visible on x-ray film after contrast dye is instilled through either a catheter or bronchoscope (narrow, flexible, lighted tube) into these areas. Contrast dye is a substance that causes a particular organ, tissue, or structure to be more visible on x-ray or other diagnostic images.. The contrast dye is released as the catheter or bronchoscope is inserted through the nose or mouth and advanced down the throat into the trachea and bronchi. The contrast dye forms a coating on the lining of the interior walls of these structures, thus outlining their anatomy on x-ray. In addition, abnormalities such as tumors, cavities, cysts, and obstructions may be revealed.. As a result of improved computerized tomography (CT scan) and ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Role of capacitative Ca2+ entry in bronchial contraction and remodeling. AU - Sweeney, Michele. AU - McDaniel, Sharon S.. AU - Platoshyn, Oleksandr. AU - Zhang, Shen. AU - Yu, Ying. AU - Lapp, Bethany R.. AU - Zhao, Ying. AU - Thistlethwaite, Patricia A.. AU - Yuan, Jason X.J.. PY - 2002. Y1 - 2002. N2 - Asthma is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and airway obstruction by bronchospasm and bronchial wall thickening due to smooth muscle hypertrophy. A rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) may serve as a shared signal transduction element that causes bronchial constriction and bronchial wall thickening in asthma. In this study, we examined whether capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) induced by depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores was involved in agonist-mediated bronchial constriction and bronchial smooth muscle cell (BSMC) proliferation. In isolated bronchial rings, acetylcholine (ACh) induced a transient contraction in the absence of ...

Recognize the presence of lobar collapse on CxR: ; Collapse = atelectasis, decrease in volume of a lung, lobe, or segment ; Obstruction collapse: most common, air present in alveoli distal to obstruction is absorbed, lung segment decreases in volume ; Compression collapse: external force squeezes air out of lung (PTX, pleural effusion) ; Contraction collapse: scarring causes decreased volume (TB, fibrosis) ; Direct signs: displacement of fissures, increased radiopacity, crowding of vascular markings or air bronchograms ; Indirect signs: hilar displacement, elevation of diaphragm, shift of mediastinum, narrowing the rib cage, compensatory emphysema ; RLL or LLL Collapse: posterior, medial, or downward collapse, major fissure displaced, major fissure medially displaced ; RML Collapse: minor fissure displaced downwards, silhouette sign along right heart border ; Lingular Collapse: silhouette sign along left heart border ; RUL Collapse: upward, medial, anterior collapse, minor fissure is displaced ...

Hilum - rings or tram lines suggest bronchitis. Round opacity adjacent to and larger than ring suggests vascular prominence due to left to right shunt.. Silhouette sign - where heart border and/or diaphragm obscured in lower zone due to consolidation in lower lobe (left or right).. Effusion - vertical line at costophrenic angle.. Round pneumonia - will have air bronchograms, compare mass.. Collapse vs consolidation - sharp lower border is the fissure so if deviated then collapse.. Pneumothorax - lucency without clear edge may suggest lung hyperinflation eg bronchial atresia. If edge projects below diaphragm then likely to be skin fold!. Foreign body - get expiratory film, which will enhance air trapping.. ...

Diffuse patchy alveolar infiltrates are seen throughout both hemithoraces. The pattern is present in all lung lobes with many indistinct air bronchograms. The pulmonary vasculature is poorly visualized; however, the cardiovascular structures appear to be within normal limits. An endotracheal tube is present within the trachea to the level of the carina. An esophageal feeding tube is also seen extending to the level 3rd ribs before folding back on itself on the initial lateral projections. A final left lateral projection reveals the esophageal tube passing through the length of the esophagus and into the gastric fundus where it again curves backwards but remains within the gastric lumen. A few anomalous vertebrae are present within the thoracic spine and are likely within normal limits given the breed of the patient ...

Hello! The lungs are well aerated showing a heterogenous confluence of opacities with apparent few air bronchograms at the area of the right hilum. This may represent consolidation possibly in the superior segment of the right lower lobe. The rest of the lungs are clear. Heart is not enlarged. Great vessels are within normal limits. Diaphragm and sulci are intact. Visualized Ossetia structures are preserved. I suggest lateral view of the chest for better evaluation.. ...

X-rays use invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs on film. X-rays are made by using external radiation to produce images of the body, its organs and other internal structures for diagnostic purposes. X-rays pass through body tissues onto specially treated plates (similar to camera film) and a negative type picture is made (the more solid a structure is, the whiter it appears on the film).. Depending on the results of the chest X-ray, additional tests or procedures may be requested by your doctor for further diagnostic information.. Other related procedures that may be used to diagnose problems of the chest and respiratory tract include chest fluoroscopy, chest ultrasound, computed tomography (CT scan) of the chest, lung biopsy, lung scans, mediastinoscopy, positron emission tomography (PET scan) of the chest, pleural biopsy, thoracentesis, sinus X-rays, pulmonary angiogram, bronchoscopy, and bronchography.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the normal range of quantitative CT in measuring the airway diameter at inspiration-expiration phase using 3D imaging in healthy adults. Materials and Methods: 68 healthy volunteers, including 42 males and 26 females, with the mean age of 49.3 (SD14.7) years, had undergone low-dose CT scan at full inspiration and the end of expiration. All CT scans were performed within the range from the lung apices to the diaphragm, at a tube potential of 120kVp and an effective mAs of 60. Afterwards, all CT images were analyzed using the 3D software (FUJIFILM Corporation SYNAPSE), and the airway tree was generated according to the automated region-growing technique, which was perpendicular to the cross section measurement of the segmental bronchus in bilateral lower lobes. Meanwhile, the imaging of segmental bronchus was classified as at inspiration and expiration phase in male group, and at inspiration and expiration phase in female group. Moreover, the Din-L and Din-S of the

First, for model B and model C, Figure 5b,c shows that the decrease of t D (or the increase of t T ) causes the Fano antiresonances to shift to the Dirac point. In the opposite case, the Fano antiresonances on the two sides of the Dirac point will repel each other. Doxorubicin cell line For model D, the shift of Fano antiresonances. exhibits different results. We see that the decrease of t D (or the increase of t T ) causes the Fano antiresonances to shift right, whereas the Fano antiresonances shift left under the opposite situation. Albeit the shift of conductance spectra, the conductance properties can not be basically modified. Figure 5 The effect of the change of t d and t T on the AGNR conductance. In (a to d), M is taken to be 17, 23, 20, and 26, respectively. When the line defect is embedded in the GNR, its onsite energy may be different from that of the GNR. Thus, in Figure 6, we present the influence of the change of the onsite energy of the line defect by taking ε d = ε c + Δ. For ...

The trachea (windpipe) divides into two main bronchi (also mainstem bronchi), the left and the right, at the level of the sternal angle. The right main bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left main bronchus. The right main bronchus subdivides into three segmental bronchi while the left main bronchus divides into two. The lobar bronchi divide into tertiary bronchi. Each of the segmental bronchi supplies a bronchopulmonary segment. A bronchopulmonary segment is a division of a lung that is separated from the rest of the lung by a connective tissue septum. This property allows a bronchopulmonary segment to be surgically removed without affecting other segments. There are ten segments per lung, but due to anatomic development, several segmental bronchi in the left lung fuse, giving rise to eight. The segmental bronchi divide into many primary bronchioles which divide into terminal bronchioles, each of which then gives rise to several respiratory bronchioles, which go on to divide ...

RADIOLOGY: LUNG: Case# 14: BRONCHIAL CARCINOID. 17-year-old female with asthma who presented with opacified left hemithorax on chest x-ray. Bronchoscopy, with rigid bronchoscope, showed left main stem bronchial occlusion. There is complete atelectasis of the left lung. This is an obstructive type atelectasis with bronchially dilated fluid-filled bronchograms seen throughout the lungs. Fluid-filled bronchograms are seen to the level of the left main stem arising near the carina. A small to moderate size pleural effusion is seen surrounding the left lung. There has been shift of the mediastinum towards the left slightly. This is most evident on the lower mediastinum. There are no enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes identified. The right lung appears normal without any air space opacities or pleural abnormality. Bronchial carcinoid tumors are relatively rare, accounting for approximately 5% of primary lung tumors. They may range from low-grade malignant typical carcinoid, which has a 5-year survival rate

Left lateralt thoracic- and upper abdominal view. Interestingly enough the consolidation has changed. What we see now is an air bronchogram/hepatization of the lung which simply means that the lung takes on the appearance of a liver. The bronchi appear white. Causes may vary, but in short it implies lung consolidation or atelectasis. In contrast to chest x-ray, ultrasound can divided air bronchograms into either static with no movement in the bronchi or to dynamic with movement in the bronchi (see youtube). The dynamic form has a very high specificity and positiv predictive value for pneumonia. In our case the air bronchogram is static but the clinical scenario implies an infectious process.. ...

The subdivision of the lung is characterised by the branching of the bronchi: the bronchial tree. The main bronchi form the stem of the bronchial tree, which splits within the lung dichotomously. The right main bronchus is called bronchus principalis dexter, the left bronchus is called bronchus principalis sinister. The main bronchi are divided into lobar bronchi - right in three lobar bronchi: bronchi lobares superior, medius and inferior and left into the bronchi lobares superior and inferior. Thereafter, there follows further division into segmental bronchi - right 10, left 9 segmental bronchi. This is followed by subsegmental bronchi, the bronchioles and finally the bronchioli terminales. The conductive, air-transporting phase of the bronchial tree ends here. Thereafter follows the sectional formation, which serves for gas exchange and as the lung parenchyma in the narrow sense. These include the bronchioli respiratorii, the ductus alveolaris and sacculi alveolares. The respiratory ...

Radiography of the lungs allows you to exclude local and disseminated lesions of the lungs, to detect concomitant diseases. Usually, after 2-3 years of the course of obstructive bronchitis, an increase in the bronchial pattern, deformation of the roots of the lungs, and emphysema of the lungs are revealed. Therapeutic and diagnostic bronchoscopy for obstructive bronchitis allows you to examine the bronchial mucosa, collect sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage . In order to exclude bronchiectasis, bronchography may be required .. A necessary criterion for the diagnosis of obstructive bronchitis is the study of the function of external respiration. The data of spirometry (including with inhalation tests), peak flowmetry , pneumotachometry are of the greatest importance . Based on the data obtained, the presence, degree and reversibility of bronchial obstruction, impaired pulmonary ventilation, stage of chronic obstructive bronchitis are determined.. The complex of laboratory diagnostics examines ...

Blood cultures grew Streptococcus gordonii. A transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated the presence of a tricuspid vegetation. She was presumed to have both a community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and long-standing endocarditis. Pneumonia remains a common cause of death in the United States and is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, particularly in elderly and immunocompromised patients. Common causes of pneumonia include Streptococcus pneumoniae and respiratory viruses.1 A growing body of literature demonstrates the superiority of thoracic ultrasound over plain radiography in the identification of pneumonia. Classic ultrasound findings of pneumonia include air or fluid bronchograms, focal B-lines, pleural effusions, and sub-pleural consolidations.2 These unique findings were recognized ...

We present an analysis of 400 intralobar and 133 extralobar sequestrations, six cases presenting intra- and extralobar sequestration simultaneously, five sequestrations of one whole lung, and two bilateral intralobar sequestrations.. This anomaly comprises 0·15-6·4% of all congenital pulmonary malformations. Usually the posterior basal segment is affected.. The aberrant artery in intralobar sequestration originated in 74% of all cases from the thoracic aorta, and in 14·8% there was more than one anomalous artery. The mean diameter of the aberrant arteries was 6·3-6·6 mm. Usually arteries with predominantly elastic fibres were found. Arteriosclerotic changes were common, even in children.. The venous return of the intralobar sequestration is, in 95·7% of all cases, via the pulmonary veins.. In 13·7% of all cases other congenital malformations were observed. Symptoms arose within the first decade of life in 37·2%. Bronchography and retrograde arteriography are the mainstay of diagnosis. ...

Airway wall thickening with bilateral pleural plaques seen in the lateral aspects of both lung fields on AP view. No interstitial disease is noted.

At each division point or generation, one airway branches into two or more smaller airways. The human respiratory tree may consist on average of 23 generations, while the respiratory tree of the mouse has up to 13 generations. Proximal divisions (those closest to the top of the tree, such as the bronchi) mainly function to transmit air to the lower airways. Later divisions including the respiratory bronchiole, alveolar ducts and alveoli, are specialized for gas exchange. The trachea is the largest tube in the respiratory tract and consists of tracheal rings of hyaline cartilage. It branches off into two bronchial tubes, a left and a right main bronchus. The bronchi branch off into smaller sections inside the lungs, called bronchioles. These bronchioles give rise to the air sacs in the lungs called the alveoli.[8] The lungs are the largest organs in the lower respiratory tract. The lungs are suspended within the pleural cavity of the thorax. The pleurae are two thin membranes, one cell layer ...

What are the symptoms of COPD? The two main symptoms are cough and breathlessness. COPD sufferers commonly complain about breathlessness and cough that develop gradually over a long period of time. The cough that COPD sufferer gets are usually productive which means they commonly cough up phlegm. The cough usually comes and goes initially but tends to become persistent as time passes. Breathlessness is usually intermittent and only occurs with exertion in the beginning, however if you continue to smoke, the breathlessness persists even when you are at rest, this can be quite distressing! Other symptoms are chronic sputum production, where you constantly cough up phlegm all day and recurrent chest infection. People with COPD are more prone to chest infection for obvious reasons, as the lining in the lung looses its normal defense mechanism against intruding bugs ...

An increased frequency of bacterial pneumonia occurs in HIV-infected individuals: however the development of bronchiectasis is not well recognized. We describe seven patients with HIV infection who developed chronic symptomatic lung disease, six with troublesome recurrent infective exacerbations. Bronchiectasis was demonstrated by computed tomography in five patients, and bronchial wall thickening was shown in a further two patients. The characteristics of the patients are described, and possible aetiological factors are discussed. As measures become available which prolong the later stages of HIV disease, bronchiectasis may become an increasing problem in this patient population. Early recognition and appropriate management may significantly alter morbidity in advanced HIV disease.

Repetitive imaging is required in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease in order to provide detailed information on regional distribution for severity assessment and therapy monitoring in clinical routine as well as interventional trials. CT has long overtaken the use of chest radiography because it provides higher morphological detail with respect to airway and parenchymal changes. This is closely linked to an increase in radiation exposure in CF individuals, who are referred for imaging procedures from a critically susceptible young age and may accumulate relevant doses during their lifetime. MRI, as an ionising radiation-free cross-sectional imaging modality, has taken the first step into the clinical arena in CF. MRI can depict the morphological hallmarks of CF lung disease such as bronchial wall thickening, bronchiectasis, mucus plugging, small airways disease and infiltrates at lower spatial resolution compared to CT but excels due to enhanced tissue characterisation and comprehensive ...

There is enormous physiological growth during infancy and childhood. Substantial differences were noted in the nose-throat morphology among the 5 subjects of different ages. These differences manifest themselves not only in airway dimension but also in airway morphology. For example, the nasal-laryngeal airway volumes of the 10-day-old, 7-month-old, 3-year-old, and 5-year-old were 6.4%, 18.8%, 24.2%, and 40.3% that of the 53-year-old, respectively. The 4 young subjects have smaller nostrils, a shorter turbinate region, and a narrower nasopharynx. The results of this study suggest that the nasal valve and vestibule region mature between the ages 3 and 5. This is supported by the much shorter nostril-valve distance and much smaller cross-sectional area of the nasal valve in the 2 infants, compared to the 2 older children, as well as the proximity of the these 2 parameters between the adult and the 2 older children (see Fig. 3A). Specifically, the nostril-valve distances are 8.0-11.2 mm for the 2 ...
