Lung Capacity01:47

Lung Capacity

56.3K
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.

What is Conservation Biology?

24.3K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF

548
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine, contributes significantly to the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease. It exists as soluble TNF and membrane-bound TNF, with actions mediated through TNF receptors (TNFR). TNFR activation leads to the release of proinflammatory cytokines, T-cell activation, collagen production, and leukocyte migration, all contributing to inflammation in Crohn's disease. Anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies, namely infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab...

Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

17.6K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

17.9K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Summary

Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) require ruling out other causes before diagnosing idiopathic ILD. This review focuses on biological analyses aiding ILD diagnosis, especially when other methods are inconclusive.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Pathology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) represent a diverse group of clinicopathological conditions.
  • Diagnosis involves excluding granulomatous diseases and secondary causes before considering idiopathic ILD.
  • Accurate etiological diagnosis relies on integrating clinical and paraclinical data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the biological analyses crucial for exploring interstitial lung diseases.
  • To highlight the role of laboratory investigations in the diagnostic work-up of ILDs.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of diagnostic tools for ILD.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on diagnostic approaches for ILDs.
  • Emphasis on biological analyses and their contribution to etiological diagnosis.
  • Discussion of multidisciplinary approaches including imaging and lung biopsy (cryobiopsy, thoracoscopic surgery).

Main Results:

  • Biological analyses are essential components of the ILD diagnostic network.
  • These analyses help differentiate between various ILD subtypes and rule out secondary causes.
  • The review details specific biological tests relevant to ILD investigation.

Conclusions:

  • A thorough diagnostic process, including biological analyses, is vital for managing ILDs.
  • Identifying the specific cause of ILD is critical for appropriate treatment and management.
  • Biological investigations play a key role when the diagnosis remains uncertain after initial assessments.
