  2. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    Lung parenchyma showing damage due to large subpleural bullae. Parenchyma (/ p ə ˈ r ɛ ŋ k ɪ m ə /) [1] [2] is the bulk of functional substance in an animal organ or structure such as a tumour. In zoology, it is the tissue that fills the interior of flatworms. In botany, it is some layers in the cross-section of the leaf. [3]

  3. Intraparenchymal hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraparenchymal_hemorrhage

    Intracerebral hemorrhages is a severe condition requiring prompt medical attention. Treatment goals include lifesaving interventions, supportive measures, and control of symptoms. Treatment depends on the location, extent, and cause of the bleeding. Often, treatment can reverse the damage that has been done.

  4. Necrotizing pneumonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrotizing_pneumonia

    Necrotizing pneumonia (NP), also known as cavitary pneumonia or cavitatory necrosis, is a rare but severe complication of lung parenchymal infection. [1] [2] [3] In necrotizing pneumonia, there is a substantial liquefaction following death of the lung tissue, which may lead to gangrene formation in the lung.

  5. Scleroderma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scleroderma

    [3] [4] [5] The underlying mechanism involves the abnormal growth of connective tissue, which is believed to be the result of the immune system attacking healthy tissues. [6] Diagnosis is based on symptoms, supported by a skin biopsy or blood tests. [6] While no cure is known, treatment may improve symptoms. [2]

  6. 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 ...

  7. Encephalomalacia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encephalomalacia

    Hemorrhage: Intracerebral hemorrhage occurs in deep penetrating vessels and disrupts the connecting pathways, causing a localized pressure injury and in turn injury to brain tissue in the affected area. Hemorrhaging can occur in instances of embolic ischemia, in which the previously obstructed region spontaneously restores blood flow.

  8. Neurocysticercosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurocysticercosis

    Neurocysticercosis can be classified into two main types: parenchymal, which affects the brain tissue, and extraparenchymal, which occurs outside the brain tissue. [39] Parenchymal neurocysticercosis: neurocysticercosis lesions within brain parenchyma. [39] Viable parenchymal cysts: contains the scolex, typically between 0.5 and 2 cm in ...

  9. Hematocele - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematocele

    The pathological diagnosis was consistent with chronic hematocele. [12] Current research is ongoing for proper diagnosis and helping to differentiate among other conditions. Doppler ultrasound in a retrospective study was shown to be helpful for differential diagnosis of patients with acute scrotum. [13]
