Lung Capacity01:47

Lung Capacity

56.2K
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...

Tissue Transplantation01:24

Tissue Transplantation

1.0K
Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
The Biology of Tissue Transplantation
The biology of tissue transplantation hinges on the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules. These molecules...

Kidney Transplant I: Introduction

396
A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is often a treatment option for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The method requires careful recipient selection, including evaluating various medical and psychosocial factors. These criteria vary between transplant centers but generally include assessments of the patient's overall health, adherence to medical recommendations, and lifestyle...

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...

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

1.1K
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Pulmonology
  • Transplant Surgery

Background:

  • Lung transplantation is a critical treatment for end-stage respiratory insufficiency caused by conditions like emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis.
  • The procedure has seen increased utilization due to more graft availability and priority access for critically ill patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status and outcomes of lung transplantation.
  • To highlight advancements in surgical techniques and patient management.
  • To discuss the challenges and future directions in lung transplant care.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of lung transplant data from France up to 2016.
  • Review of perioperative and long-term survival rates.
  • Examination of graft rejection mechanisms and immunosuppressive strategies.

Main Results:

  • The annual number of lung transplantations in France reached 371 in 2016.
  • Significant improvements in global survival have been observed, primarily due to reduced perioperative mortality.
  • Long-term survival is challenged by graft rejection (acute/chronic, cellular/humoral) and complications from immunosuppressive therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Lung transplantation significantly increases survival and enhances the quality of life for selected patients with severe respiratory diseases.
  • Effective management of graft rejection and immunosuppression is crucial for optimizing long-term outcomes.
  • Careful risk/benefit assessment is essential for successful lung transplant candidacy.
