Incidence is highest for individuals younger than 40 and peaks in the age-group from 20 to 29 years; a second peak is observed for women over 50. [19] [145] Sarcoidosis occurs throughout the world in all races with an average incidence of 16.5 per 100,000 in men and 19 per 100,000 in women.
Neurogenic causes [30] (seizures, head trauma, strangulation, electrocution). Transfusion Associated Circulatory Overload occurs when multiple blood transfusions or blood-products (plasma, platelets, etc.) are transfused over a short period of time. [31] It includes acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. [32]
Chronic inflammation of the lungs is a key feature in aspiration pneumonia in elderly nursing home residents and presents as a sporadic fever (one day per week for several months). Radiological review shows chronic inflammation in the consolidated lung tissue, linking chronic micro-aspiration and chronic lung inflammation.
Victorian women presumably believed "ladies don't spit," and consequently might have been predisposed to develop lung infection. Shortly after the Lady Windermere syndrome was proposed, a librarian wrote a letter to the editor of Chest [27] challenging the use of Lady Windermere as the eponymous ancestor of the proposed syndrome. In the play ...
[12] [72] IPF is more common in men than in women and is usually diagnosed in people over 50 years of age. [3] The incidence of IPF is difficult to determine as uniform diagnostic criteria have not been applied consistently. [3] [12] A recent study from the US estimated the incidence of IPF to be between 6.8 and 16.3 per 100,000 persons.
Those with diabetes or the elderly may have less clear symptoms. [3] Serious and relatively common causes include acute coronary syndrome such as a heart attack (31%), pulmonary embolism (2%), pneumothorax, pericarditis (4%), aortic dissection (1%) and esophageal rupture. [3]
CAP is common, affecting people of all ages, and its symptoms occur as a result of oxygen-absorbing areas of the lung filling with fluid. This inhibits lung function, causing dyspnea, fever, chest pains and cough. CAP, the most common type of pneumonia, is a leading cause of illness and death worldwide [citation needed].
The ratio of lung cancer cases in men to women varies considerably by geography, from as high as nearly 12:1 in Belarus, to 1:1 in Brazil, likely due to differences in smoking patterns. [ 97 ] Lung cancer risk is influenced by environmental exposure, namely cigarette smoking, as well as occupational risks in mining, shipbuilding, petroleum ...
