| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A hereditary disease noted for secretions of excessive viscous mucus by the endocrine and exocrine glands. (and can affect the pancreas) | Cystic Fibrosis |
| ___________ means the estimated population of people who are managing a disease at a given time. | Prevalence |
| This is one of the most common causes or respiratory distress in newborns. (caused by surfactant deficiency in underdeveloped lungs) | Hyaline Membrane Disease |
| A viral inflammatory obstruction of the subglottic area of the trachea. | Croup |
| The edema associated with croup causes ___________ __________ or a barking cough. | Inspiratory Stridor |
| Inflammation of the lung most commonly caused by bacteria or viruses. | Pneumonia |
| What does pneumonia look like in a radiograph? | Consolidation of the lung parenchyma. (solid white area) |
| A necrotic area of pulmonary parenchyma containing purulent (pus) material. | Lung Abscess |
| This is caused by a rod shaped bacteria with a waxy coating that allows it to live outside of the body. | Tuberculosis |
| Tuberculosis has 4 primary radiographic appearances: (GHI P) | 1)Infiltrates 2)Hilar enlargement 3)Ghon Lesions 4)Pleural effusion |
| A pulmonary infection of the lung: (give an example) | Pulmonary Mycosis (Histoplasmosis) |
| A virus causing necrosis of the respiratory epithelium in the lower respiratory tract: | Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) |
| COPD stands for: | Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease |
| This includes several conditions where chronic obstruction of the airways leads to an ineffective exchange of respiratory gases and makes breathing difficult. | COPD |
| This is a condition where obstructive and destructive changes in small airways (the acini or terminal bronchioles) lead to a dramatic increase in the volume of air in the lungs: | Emphysema |
| Widespread narrowing of airways caused by an increased response of the tracheobronchial tree to various allergens. | Asthma |
| This is caused by prolonged occupational exposure to irritating particulates: | Pneumoconiosis |
| A form of pneumoconiosis with major complications of mesothelioma, a highly malignant pleural tumor. | Asbestosis |
| A primary carcinoma of the lung arising from the mucosa of the bronchial tree. | Bronchogenic Carcinoma |
| This is the most common type of lung cancer which typically arises in the major central bronchi and causes narrowing of the bronchial lumen. | Squamous Carcinoma |
| This is the most common pathological process involving the lungs of hospitalized patients, typically from stoppage of venous blood flow. | Pulmonary Embolism |
| This is a condition of a collapsed lung, commonly the result of bronchial obstruction. Obstruction could be due to neoplasm, foreign body or mucous plug. | Atelectasis |
| The presence of air in the pleural cavity. Results in a partial or complete collapse of the lung. | Pneumothorax |
| The accumulation of fluid in the pleural space. Most common causes are ___________ __________ _____________ and ______________ ___________. | Pleural Effusion; Congestive Heart Failure; Pulmonary Embolisms |
| The presence of pus or infected liquid in the pleural space. | Empyema |
