  2. Hepatopulmonary syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatopulmonary_syndrome

    The hepatopulmonary syndrome results from the formation of microscopic intrapulmonary arteriovenous dilatations in patients with both chronic, and far less commonly acute liver failure. The mechanism is unknown but is thought to be due to increased liver production or decreased liver clearance of vasodilators, possibly involving nitric oxide. [1]

  3. Interstitial lung disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_lung_disease

    Interstitial lung disease (ILD), or diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD), [3] is a group of respiratory diseases affecting the interstitium (the tissue) and space around the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs. [4] It concerns alveolar epithelium, pulmonary capillary endothelium, basement membrane, and perivascular and perilymphatic tissues. It ...

  4. Diffuse alveolar damage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_alveolar_damage

    Diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) is a histologic term used to describe specific changes that occur to the structure of the lungs during injury or disease. Most often DAD is described in association with the early stages of acute respiratory distress syndrome ( ARDS ). [ 1 ]

  5. Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_idiopathic...

    Pulmonary function: increased residual volume, increased total lung capacity, fixed obstruction, low diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide that corrects with alveolar volume High-resolution CT scan: diffuse pulmonary nodules 4–10 mm, greater than 20 nodules, mosaic attenuation or air trapping in greater than 50% of the lung

  6. Ground-glass opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-glass_opacity

    Broadly, a diffuse pattern of GGO can be caused by displacement of air with fluid, inflammatory debris, or fibrosis. Cardiogenic pulmonary edema and ARDS are common causes of a fluid-filled lung. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a rarer cause of diffuse GGO seen in some types of vasculitis, autoimmune conditions, and bleeding disorders. [6]

    They found that liver fat, but not thigh fat or insulin resistance, resulted in increased inflammation in the brain. In a final study, researchers looked at abdominal fat alongside brain scans.

  8. Hemosiderosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemosiderosis

    Hemosiderin deposition in the brain is seen after bleeds from any source, including chronic subdural hemorrhage, cerebral arteriovenous malformations, cavernous hemangiomata. Hemosiderin depositionon on the surface of the brain and spinal cord due to chronic bleeding in the subarachnoid space is known as superficial siderosis.

  9. Chilaiditi syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilaiditi_syndrome

    Chilaiditi syndrome is a rare condition when pain occurs due to transposition of a loop of large intestine (usually transverse colon) in between the diaphragm and the liver, visible on plain abdominal X-ray or chest X-ray. [1] Normally this causes no symptoms, and this is called Chilaiditi's sign. The sign can be permanently present, or ...
