Diseases of the lungs, bronchi and pleura (pulmonology)

Dry (fibrinous) pleurisy: diagnosis

With fibrinous pleurisy, the high standing of the dome of the diaphragm from the corresponding side can be determined, its lagging behind deep breathing, limitation of the mobility of the lower pulmonary margin and slight turbidity of the part of the pulmonary field. With significant deposits of fibrin, it is sometimes possible to determine an unclear, indistinct shadow along the outer edge of the lung (a rare sign).

Dry (fibrinous) pleurisy: symptoms

Diaphragmatic (basal) pleurisy is characterized by the localization of the inflammatory process in the diaphragmatic pleura and often develops with basal pneumonia and inflammatory processes in the sub-diaphragmatic space.

Dry (fibrinous) pleurisy: a review of information

In the majority of patients dry (fibrinous) pleurisy begins acutely, less often - gradually. Extremely characteristic complaints of patients: pain in the chest, increased body temperature, general weakness.

Pleurisy: treatment

Pleurisy - inflammation of the pleura sheets with the formation of fibrin on their surface (dry, fibrinous pleurisy) or accumulation in the pleural region of exudate of various types (exudative pleurisy). Treatment of patients with pleurisy includes the following measures.

Pleurisy: causes and pathogenesis

Depending on the etiology, all pleurisy can be divided into two large groups: infectious and non-infectious (aseptic). In infectious pleurisy, the inflammatory process in the pleura is caused by the action of infectious agents, with non-infectious pleurisy, pleural inflammation occurs without the involvement of pathogenic microorganisms.

Pleurisy: an overview of information

Pleurisy is an inflammation of the pleural leaves with the formation of fibrin on their surface (dry, fibrinous pleurisy) or accumulation in the pleural cavity of various exudates (exudative pleurisy).

Pleural effusion: an overview of information

Exudative pleurisy is characterized by an accumulation of effusion in the pleural cavity during inflammatory processes in the pleura and adjacent organs. According to the nature of effusion, exudative pleurisy is divided into serous-fibrinous, purulent, putrefactive, hemorrhagic, eosinophilic, cholesteric, and chyle. The most common cause of these pleurisy are tuberculosis, as well as pneumonia (para- or metapneumonic exudative pleurisy).

Sleep apnea

Nocturnal apnea is a periodically occurring respiratory arrest in a sleep lasting more than 10 s in combination with constant strong snoring and frequent awakenings, accompanied by pronounced daytime drowsiness.

Spontaneous pneumothorax: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Spontaneous pneumothorax is a pathological condition characterized by the accumulation of air between the visceral and parietal pleura, not associated with mechanical damage to the lung or chest as a result of trauma or medical manipulation.

Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is an acute respiratory failure that occurs with acute lung injuries of various etiologies and is characterized by non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, respiratory disorders and hypoxia.
