Emphysema is a long-term lung disease that damages lung function and causes shortness of breath. It destroys necessary lung tissue and airways. Specifically, emphysema causes the creation of small holes in the alveoli, the air sacs responsible for oxygen exchange, resulting in not enough oxygen reaching the bloodstream. Smoking and air pollution are the primary causes of emphysema by damaging the lungs over many years. Symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, decreased tolerance for exercise, and pursed-lip breathing. Treatment focuses on bronchodilation, corticosteroids, oxygen therapy, and managing symptoms.

Emphysema
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is diagnosed through pulmonary function tests, chest x-rays, and arterial blood gas tests. Smoking is the leading cause of emphysema, with cigarette smoke damaging the small airways and elastic fibers in the lungs over time. Emphysema mainly affects long-time smokers and those exposed to secondhand smoke for prolonged periods. Symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing. People at high risk should see a doctor if they have trouble breathing or experience blue lips/fingernails. Treatments focus on quitting smoking and using medications to open airways and reduce inflammation.

The top symptoms are shortness of breath, wheezing, chronic coughing and mucus production. Left untreated, emphysema can lead to serious health complications like infections, respiratory failure, and even death.
Atelectasis
Atelectasis is defined as the collapse or closure of the lung resulting in reduced or absent gas exchange. It develops when alveoli become airless from absorption of air without replacement through breathing. Common causes include obstruction of the airway by secretions, diminished distention of alveoli due to chest wall issues or neuromuscular disorders, and anesthesia effects. Signs include cough, dyspnea, and hypoxemia. Treatment focuses on clearing secretions through positioning, deep breathing, and chest physical therapy. Bronchodilators and mucolytics may also be used, along with mechanical ventilation for severe cases.
Chronic Bronchitis
Shahd Alali has chronic bronchitis, characterized by a chronic cough lasting over 2 years. Chronic bronchitis is common among smokers and is caused by smoking as well as air pollutants. It involves hypertrophy of the bronchial mucus glands leading to hypersecretion of mucus and inflammation in the large airways. On morphology, the large airways appear hyperemic, swollen, and covered in mucus secretions with increased goblet cells and inflammatory cells in the trachea and bronchi. Clinical features include a prominent cough producing sputum, cyanosis, increased risk of infection, and dyspnea.
Lung abscess
This document discusses lung abscesses, which occur when microbial infection causes necrosis and cavitation of lung tissue. There are two main types: primary lung abscesses arise from aspiration of oral bacteria and usually affect middle-aged men with risk factors like alcoholism or gastroesophageal reflux; secondary lung abscesses have an underlying cause like obstruction or immunosuppression. Symptoms include fever, cough, and chest pain. Diagnosis involves chest imaging like x-ray or CT scan. Primary abscesses are generally treated with antibiotics like clindamycin or beta-lactam combinations for 3-14 weeks. Secondary abscesses require treatment of the underlying condition as well as antibiotics targeting the identified pathogen. Complications can include recurrence,
Restrictive lungdiseases
Restrictive lung diseases can be caused by chest wall disorders like kyphoscoliosis or interstitial lung diseases such as pneumoconiosis from inhaling inorganic dusts. Pneumoconiosis includes conditions like coal worker's pneumoconiosis from coal dust inhalation, silicosis from silica exposure in occupations like mining, and asbestosis from asbestos exposure. These diseases are characterized by nodular scarring in the lungs visible on x-ray. Long-term inhalation of very small dust particles can lead to fibrotic nodule formation and restricted lung function over time. Silicosis presents as small fibrotic nodules throughout the lungs and is associated with occupations involving silica exposure
Bronchectasis

Emphysema
Emphysema is a condition where the air sacs in the lungs called alveoli are damaged and enlarged, causing shortness of breath. It occurs when constant lung inflammation allows bacteria to infect the lungs, and immune cells release enzymes that destroy elastic fibers in the alveoli walls. This causes the walls between alveoli to break down, reducing the surface area for gas exchange in the lungs. People with emphysema have difficulty getting oxygen into their blood and removing carbon dioxide, leading to rapid breathing and other symptoms. The primary causes are cigarette smoking and air pollution. Treatment depends on severity but may include medications, inhalers, surgery, exercise and quitting smoking.
Emphysema
Emphysema is defined as permanent dilatation of the air spaces distal to terminal bronchioles, accompanied by destruction of alveolar walls. It is caused by an imbalance between elastase and anti-elastase systems. Signs include dyspnea, hyperinflation seen on chest imaging as barrel chest, low flat diaphragm, and pulmonary hypertension. Types include centrilobular, panlobular, paraseptal, and paracicatricial emphysema. High resolution CT can identify emphysematous spaces as areas of decreased attenuation without walls.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) power point
COPD is a chronic lung condition characterized by permanently narrowed airways and difficulty breathing. It encompasses chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD develops over many years as a result of lung damage, most commonly from cigarette smoking. It causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways and destruction of lung tissue over time. Symptoms include cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and frequent respiratory infections. Treatment focuses on reducing symptoms, slowing lung function decline, and improving quality of life through medications, oxygen therapy, and smoking cessation.
Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive tract. It is caused by a defective gene that results in the body producing abnormally thick mucus. Symptoms include salty-tasting skin, coughing, wheezing, weight issues, and digestive problems. Treatment involves antibiotics, enzymes, vitamins, inhaled medications, and potentially lung transplantation. While there is no cure, research and new treatments have increased life expectancy to an average of 35 years for those who live to adulthood.
Cystic fibrosis presentation
This document discusses cystic fibrosis, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It is a genetic disorder that causes thick mucus buildup in the lungs and digestive tract. The primary symptom is severe lung infections. It is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene and is usually diagnosed via sweat test. Treatments include antibiotics, mucus-thinning drugs, and lung therapies to help clear mucus and treat infections. Ongoing research is working to develop new diagnostic tests and find a cure.

Emphysema (COPD)
Emphysema is a chronic lung disease that causes damage to the air sacs in the lungs called alveoli. It develops due to long-term exposure to irritants that destroy the walls of the alveoli, reducing their ability to effectively exchange gases. The main cause is long-term cigarette smoking. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chronic cough, and fatigue. The damage can be seen on chest X-rays and lung function tests. While it has no cure, treatments aim to improve symptoms and lung function through quitting smoking, bronchodilators, oxygen therapy, surgery, and rehabilitation.
Emphyisema
Emphysema is a type of COPD involving damage to the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. As a result, your body does not get the oxygen it needs. Emphysema makes it hard to catch your breath. You may also have a chronic cough and have trouble breathing during exercise. The most common cause is cigarette smoking
Emphysema
Emphysema is a lung disease where the air sacs (alveoli) are progressively destroyed, resulting in fewer and larger air spaces. The main causes are smoking and genetic conditions. In emphysema, elastic fibers and alveolar walls are broken down due to an imbalance between proteases from inflammatory cells and their inhibitors like alpha-1 antitrypsin. Symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves pulmonary function tests, chest imaging, and blood tests. Treatment focuses on bronchodilators, supplemental oxygen, and reducing risk factors.
Emphysema.pptx
Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable disease that makes it difficult to empty air out of the lungs.
Emphysema is a condition that involves damage
to the walls of the air sacs (alveoli) of the lung making it difficult to breath.
The lungs are sponge-like structures that lies within the chest, protected by the ribcage.
They are made up of progressively branching air passages, the smallest of which end in minute air sacs(alveoli)
In these air sac inhaled oxygen is transferred to the blood stream and carbon dioxide is transferred from the blood into the exhaled breath. (Respiration)
COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an umbrella term used to describe progressive lung diseases including emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. This disease is characterized by increasing breathlessness
Emphysema
Emphysema is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease where the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) become damaged, causing shortness of breath. It is primarily caused by cigarette smoking and long-term exposure to air pollution. The main symptoms are a productive cough, breathlessness, and wheezing. Signs include cyanosis, wheezing, fast breathing, hyperinflation of the lungs, and reduced breath sounds. Treatment focuses on stopping smoking, using bronchodilators and steroids, and supplemental oxygen. Prevention emphasizes avoiding pollution and respiratory infections by getting vaccinated.
CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to two lung diseases, chronic bronchitis and emphysema, that are typically caused by smoking and result in limited airflow. The document discusses the definition, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of COPD. It notes that COPD is the 4th leading cause of death and involves inflammation and narrowing of the airways leading to shortness of breath. Treatment focuses on improving ventilation, removing secretions, managing complications, and improving overall health.
Respiratory system
The respiratory system introduces oxygen to the body and removes carbon dioxide through a series of anatomical structures including the nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. In the alveoli, oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively exchanged between the blood and air by diffusion. Diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease make breathing difficult by constricting the airways or destroying lung tissue. Lung cancer, commonly caused by smoking, is treated through surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy depending on the cancer type and stage.
Emphysema
Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease that involves damage to the alveoli in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. It can be caused by long-term exposure to irritants like cigarette smoke or air pollution. Symptoms include shortness of breath and coughing. Diagnosis involves physical exams, imaging tests, and pulmonary function tests. While the lung damage cannot be reversed, treatment focuses on reducing symptoms through medications, oxygen therapy, lung surgery, and transplants in severe cases.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to chronic bronchitis and emphysema, diseases where the airways become narrowed over time due to damage from cigarette smoke or other noxious particles. The main symptoms are shortness of breath, cough, and sputum production. A diagnosis is made through pulmonary function tests showing airflow obstruction. Treatment focuses on smoking cessation and medications to relieve symptoms and prevent exacerbations.
INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE PHARMACY PRESENTATION
The document provides information about interstitial lung disease (ILD), including:
- ILD affects the interstitium, a lace-like network of tissue in the lungs. Common symptoms include shortness of breath.
- There are many types of ILD, which can be caused by infections, autoimmune diseases, environmental exposures like asbestos, or idiopathic factors.
- Diagnosis involves imaging tests and may require a lung biopsy. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but can include antibiotics, corticosteroids, oxygen therapy, immunosuppressants, or lung transplant in severe cases. Managing risk factors and lifestyle changes can also help.
Emphysema and alfa 1 antitrypsin
- Emphysema can be caused by congenital factors, smoking, or alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency. It results in destruction of lung tissue and inability to exhale fully.
- In emphysema, the air spaces in the lungs enlarge and the walls between them are destroyed. This reduces the surface area for gas exchange.
- Chest x-rays show enlarged, hyperinflated lungs in emphysema patients. Lobectomy is often used to treat congenital lobar emphysema in infants.
COPD.pptx
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to two lung diseases, chronic bronchitis and emphysema, that are commonly found together. In COPD, less air flows in and out of the airways due to damage to the airways and air sacs. The main risk factor is tobacco smoking. Symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, and sputum production. Treatment focuses on smoking cessation and medications to improve breathing.

Empysema
- 2. What is Emphysema? • Emphysema is a long term disease of the lungs that damages the function of it. • This disease can cause shortness of breath. • While having this disease, necessary tissue in the lung is destroyed, as well as the airways. • Little structures called alveoli exchange the oxygen in the air for CO2 in the blood stream. Emphysema causes small holes to be created in the alveoli, therefore not enough oxygen is getting to the bloodstream.

- 5. classification • Panacinar (or panlobular) emphysema: The entire respiratory lobule, from respiratory bronchiole to alveoli, has expanded. Occurs more commonly in the lower lobes (especially basal segments) and in the anterior margins of the lungs. • Centriacinar (or centrilobular) emphysema: The respiratory bronchiole (proximal and central part of the acinus) has expanded. The distal acinus or alveoli are unchanged. Occurs more commonly in the upper lobes.
- 6. Special types Of emphysema • Congenital lobar emphysema • CLE results in overexpansion of a pulmonary lobe, and resultant compression of the remaining lobes of the ipsilateral lung (and possibly also the contralateral lung). There is bronchial narrowing because of weakened or absent bronchial cartilage.There may be congenital extrinsic compression, commonly by an abnormally large pulmonary artery.
- 7. Paraseptal emphysema • Paraseptal emphysema is a type of emphysema which involves the alveolar ducts and sacs at the lung periphery. The emphysematous areas are subpleural in location and often surrounded by interlobular septa (hence the name). It may be an incidental finding in young adults, and may be associated with spontaneous pneumothorax. It may also be seen in older people with centrilobular emphysema.
- 8. How Can You GeT Emphysema? • Emphysema is mostly caused by smoking; it affects the lungs in two ways.
- 9. How Can You Get Emphysema? • Another way of getting emphysema is by air pollution. How this affects your lungs is similar to the way smoking does. • Also, if you have asthma, you are at a greater risk because your lungs are already not functioning properly. • If you are a close relative of someone who has it, you have a greater chance of having it. • Men have a greater chance of getting it than women. • Lastly, the older you are, the greater risk you have because lung function declines as you grow older.
- 10. Emphysema Symptoms • One of the symptoms is shortness of breath. You cough or wheeze because of the mucus buildup. • A decreasing tolerance for exercise is another sign of having emphysema. • Next, the person with emphysema may become a “pursed-lip breather.” He may struggle to exhale completely because the airways collapse and cannot hold up. A “pursed-lip breather” will purse his lips to allow air to come in and out of his lungs.
- 11. Emphysema’s Treatment Bronchodialation : the antimuscarinic bronchodialators,ipratopium and tiotropium seems to be as effective as the β2-agonists & a combination of a β2-agonist & an antimuscaranic gives an superior results. Corticosteroid therapy: RCTs have indicated clearly that the combination of a corticosteroids and LABA(Fluticasone plus salmeterol & budesonide plus formoterol) improve the lung function and quality of life compared to the indivisual agents.
- 12. OXYGEN> LTOT(02 used for at least 15hr daily) improves the mobility , relieves hypoxaemia & reduce the mortilty of severe hypoxaemia.
- 13. More Facts In 2000, 2.74 million people all around the world died from different types of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which emphysema can be categorized as. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that COPD is tied 4th/5th place with HIV/AIDS as the single cause of death. Emphysema is the 4th leading cause of death in the United States, and is predicted to be the 3rd by the year 2020.
