Lung Capacity01:47

Lung Capacity

56.4K
The air in the lungs is measured in volumes and capacities. Lung volume measures reflect the amount of air taken in, released, or left over after a lung function, like a single inhalation. Lung capacity measures are sums of two or more lung volume measures.

Pleura of the Lungs01:13

Pleura of the Lungs

7.6K
The lungs are nestled in a cavity, shielded by the pleura. The pleura, a form of serous membrane, wraps around each lung. This membrane arrangement consists of two layers: the visceral and parietal pleurae. The visceral pleura lines the surface of the lungIn contrast, the parietal pleura is the outer layer and contacts to the thoracic wall, the mediastinum, and the diaphragm. The hilum is the point of connection between the visceral and parietal layers. The space between the parietal and...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

1.2K
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Gross Anatomy of the Lungs01:17

Gross Anatomy of the Lungs

4.8K
The lungs are a pair of vital organs connected to the trachea via the left and right bronchi. The base of these organs meets the dome-shaped muscle known as the diaphragm. Encased by the pleurae, the lungs contact the mediastinum. The right lung is shorter yet wider, and has a larger volume than the left lung. The left lung has an indentation known as the cardiac notch. The superior region of the lungs is referred to as the apex, whereas the base is the lower region near the diaphragm. The...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

2.5K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment01:24

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

1.2K
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Pulmonology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Identifying the dominant cell type is crucial for understanding and treating immunological diseases.
  • Challenges arise when the dominant cell type is unclear and no genetic mutation is evident.
  • This review focuses on pulmonary immunological diseases with a predominant innate immune signature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the molecular pathology of 'autoinflammatory diseases of the lung'.
  • To propose that therapies targeting innate immune pathways can benefit pulmonary and systemic inflammation.
  • To highlight evidence of autoinflammatory disease in COPD, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, and rheumatoid lung disease.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on innate immune signatures in pulmonary diseases.
  • Analysis of molecular pathology in autoinflammatory lung diseases.
  • Examination of therapeutic strategies targeting innate immune pathways.

Main Results:

  • Innate immune pathways are central to the immunopathology of several pulmonary diseases.
  • Small molecule and biological therapies targeting innate immunity show promise.
  • Macrolide antibiotics modulate key innate immune components like the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Conclusions:

  • Autoinflammatory diseases of the lung are characterized by a predominant innate immune signature.
  • Targeting innate immune pathways offers a potential therapeutic strategy for these conditions.
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, and rheumatoid lung disease may be classified as autoinflammatory diseases.
