Nov 15, 2017 · OBJECTIVE. A substantial proportion of cases of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) are due to connective tissue disease (CTD)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD). The purpose of this study was to determine whether specific CT findings can help differentiate a UIP pattern of CTD-ILD from a UIP pattern of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and whether these signs are associated with ...

By the time symptoms appear, irreversible lung damage has often already occurred. Nevertheless, it's important to see your doctor at the first sign of breathing problems. Many conditions other than interstitial lung disease can affect your lungs, and getting an early and accurate diagnosis is important for proper treatment.
Long-term exposure to a number of toxins and pollutants can damage your lungs. These may include: 1. Silica dust 2. Asbestos fibers 3. Grain dust 4. Bird and animal droppings 5. Radiation treatments 6. Indoor hot tubs Some people who receive radiation therapy for lung or breast cancer show signs of lung damage months or sometimes years after the in...
Many drugs can damage your lungs, especially: 1. Chemotherapy drugs.Drugs designed to kill cancer cells, such as methotrexate (Otrexup, Trexall, others) and cyclophosphamide, can also damage lung tissue. 2. Heart medications.Some drugs used to treat irregular heartbeats, such as amiodarone (Nexterone, Pacerone) or propranolol (Inderal, Innopran), m...
Lung damage can also result from autoimmune diseases such as: 1. Rheumatoid arthritis 2. Scleroderma 3. Dermatomyositis and polymyositis 4. Mixed connective tissue disease 5. Sjogren's syndrome 6. Sarcoidosis The list of substances and conditions that can lead to interstitial lung disease is long. Even so, in some cases, the causes are never found....
Abstract. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common pulmonary manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis. There is lack of clarity around predictors of mortality and disease behaviour over time in these patients.We identified rheumatoid arthritis-related interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) patients evaluated at National Jewish Health (Denver, CO ...

Mar 3, 2021 · To halt or reverse disease progression and achieve lung regeneration, there is a need for earlier identification and treatment of these diseases. A precision medicine approach to treatment is also important, involving the recognition of disease subtypes, or endotypes, according to underlying disease mechanisms, rather than the current “one ...
Many papers in the AJRCMB make efforts to translate basic cell and molecular insights to the effects on airways in the whole animal. However, these efforts are often flawed by an overinterpretation of the functional measurements that rely on the empiric variable, “enhanced pause” or Penh, which has been shown to be primarily related to ventilatory timing and unrelated to airway resistance ...
