types of obstructive lung disease :: Article Creator Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Realizing the Potential of Vendor Engagement with ELRIG's Vendor Strategy Work Group Lead Nick Clare In this interview conducted in anticipation of ELRIG's Drug Discovery 2023 Conference, we spoke to Nick Clare, Vendor Strategy Work Group Lead for ELRIG, about what vendors can gain from attending ELRIG events, such as Drug Discovery 2023. Dear Doctor: What Symptoms Indicate Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease? DEAR DR. ROACH: What signs and/or symptoms do you need for a doctor to determine you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)? -- R.K. ANSWER: The diagnosis of COPD is suspected in people who are at risk for the disease and note one of two cardinal symptoms: cough or dyspnea. (A "symptom" is what a patient identifies by history, while a "sign" is noted on a physical exam. Cough can be both a symptom and a...

pulmonary embolism diagnosis :: Article Creator What A Blood Clot Feels Like, According To Doctors WHEN YOU CUT YOURSELF, your blood clots over the injury to keep you from bleeding excessively. Once the injury heals, your body naturally dissolves the clot. So, blood clotting, also known as coagulation, is an important natural process. Sometimes, however, blood clots can form in your blood vessels or arteries without an injury, and they don't naturally dissolve. When blood clots block your blood vessels and restrict blood flow, a condition known as thrombosis, it can be dangerous and even life-threatening, says Erich De Paula, M.D., associate professor of hematology at the University of Campinas in Brazil, and vice chair of the World Thrombosis Day steering committee. "Thrombosis is responsible for about one in four deaths worldwide," he says. "This statistic should prompt the interest in learning how to avoid them through life...

mild tr with mild pah :: Article Creator What To Know About Mild Persistent Asthma The most common kinds of asthma are mild intermittent and mild persistent asthma. People with mild persistent asthma have mild symptoms, but they occur regularly. Although the symptoms of asthma are more or less the same, asthma can vary in severity and persistence from mild and intermittent to severe and persistent. Research suggests that up to 70% of all people with asthma have mild persistent asthma. Keep reading to learn more about mild persistent asthma and the treatment options available. Asthma is an inflammatory condition that affects a person's airways. As one study explains, when the airways are chronically inflamed, they can become hyper-responsive to specific triggers, which causes them to swell. This swelling can make it hard for oxygen to reach a person's lungs. A person with asthma may experience: Flare-ups or asthm...

B. Right posterior oblique view demonstrates right ventricular dilation with increased convexity of the anterior chamber. Pulmonary valvular stenosis. Pulmonary stenosis was originally described by Morgagni and may be classified as valvular, infundibular or supravalvular. Some form of pulmonary stenosis occurs in up to 20-30% of patients with congenital heart disease. One study from Toronto Children's reported pulmonary stenosis in 9.9% of all congenital heart lesio...

left ventricular failure :: Article Creator LVAD Surgery Saves Man With End-Stage Heart Failure: All You Need To Know The patient who received the LVAD Surgery with the doctor. A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is used for patients who have reached end-stage heart failure and are ineligible for heart transplantation. Heart failure means the heart is no longer able to pump blood to meet the body's needs. End-stage heart failure is the final and most severe stage of the condition that causes severe shortness of breath, swelling, and fatigue, among other symptoms. As such patients at this stage are at high risk of dying within a few months, it requires emergency treatment, which could be surgery, heart transplant, or ventricular assist devices. Recently, doctors at a private hospital in Faridabad successfully conducted an LVAD surgery to save the life of a 58-year-old man with end-stage heart failure. It is believed to be the very fir...

mixed restrictive and obstructive lung disease :: Article Creator Higher Risk Of Death Seen For PH With Combined Lung Disease People with a combination of two lung diseases — specifically pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema, known as CPFE — who also have pulmonary hypertension (PH) were found to be at an increased risk of death in comparison to CPFE patients without PH, according to a new meta-analysis. Having CPFE also was linked to a higher risk for PH among patients than was having either lung disease alone. While the researchers stressed that more studies were needed "to further explore the risk of PH and its impact on survival in patients with CPFE," the findings of their meta-analysis — an analysis that combines the results of multiple scientific studies — "revealed a significantly increased risk of PH in patients with CPFE compared with those with [idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis] or emphysema alone," they wrote.
