Other Pulmonary Disorders

Other Pulmonary Disorders

Respiratory disorders encompass a range of conditions with varying levels of severity. Asthma, marked by chronic airway inflammation and hypersensitivity, is one such condition. It can lead to airway obstruction due to factors like bronchial spasms, mucosal edema, increased mucus secretion, or epithelial damage. Asthma triggers are diverse, ranging from allergens to emotional upset, and treatment focuses on both immediate relief through bronchodilators and long-term inflammation suppression.

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Cancer Prevention

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

What is Cancer?

Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

Area of Science:

Oncology
Radiology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Lung cancer is a global health concern and a leading cause of cancer diagnosis in the US.
Accurate staging of lung cancer is essential for determining appropriate treatment and surgical interventions.
Understanding diverse lung cancer subtypes and their imaging appearances is vital for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the critical role of radiologists in the diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of lung cancer patients.
To emphasize the importance of imaging in guiding treatment and surgical options for lung cancer.
To underscore the necessity of recognizing various histologic subtypes and their characteristic imaging findings.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature on lung cancer diagnosis and staging.
Analysis of imaging modalities used in lung cancer assessment.
Discussion of the radiologist's contribution to patient management.

Main Results:

Imaging plays a pivotal role in the accurate staging of lung cancer.
Radiologists' expertise is indispensable for interpreting lung cancer imaging.
Familiarity with histologic subtypes aids in diagnosis and staging.

Conclusions:

Radiologists are central to the multidisciplinary approach to lung cancer care.
Effective imaging interpretation by radiologists directly influences patient treatment outcomes.
Continued education on lung cancer imaging is essential for radiologists.
