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.

Pleura of the Lungs01:13

Pleura of the Lungs

7.1K
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...

Sustainable Development

15.1K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

1.0K
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

4.7K
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...

Development of the Lymphatic System01:15

Development of the Lymphatic System

2.1K
The development of lymphatic tissues and vessels in embryonic life begins around the fifth week. These structures originate from the mesoderm layer, with lymph sacs emerging from developing veins.
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Environmental Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an umbrella term for over 100 distinct pulmonary conditions.
  • Pathogenesis involves environmental exposures, infections, drugs, radiation, and genetic factors.
  • Inhalational exposures link to conditions like asbestosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and smoking-related ILD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the scope and impact of interstitial lung diseases.
  • To highlight the diagnostic criteria and contributing factors for ILD.
  • To discuss the global burden and regional disparities in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and epidemiological data.
  • Analysis of diagnostic approaches involving multidisciplinary teams.
  • Examination of prevalence and incidence data for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).

Main Results:

  • ILDs represent a significant global health burden, with a notable increase in years of life lost.
  • Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) incidence in the US is 14.6 per 100,000 person-years.
  • Prevalence estimates suggest millions affected in BRIC nations, contrasting with lower reported rates in South America.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate ILD diagnosis requires integrated clinical, radiological, and pathological assessment by specialists.
  • Environmental factors play a crucial role in the development of various ILDs.
  • Limited access to diagnostics and specialized care impedes effective ILD management in developing countries, particularly for IPF.
