The concomitant assessment of pain and dyspnea in acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; is pain an understudied factor?: Dyspnea is a prominent symptom of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), occurring as a result of expiratory flow limitation, which may lead to ...

“male problem” and more often attributed the symptoms of MI to other chronic noncardiac conditions.3Historically, the description of symptoms associated with MI was based on the presentation characteristics of men. Women's symptoms of MI are often labeled as “atypical” and different from the ...
Acute dyspnea represents one of the most frequent symptoms leading to emergency room evaluation. Its significant prognostic value warrants a careful evaluation. The differential diagnosis of dyspnea is complex due to the lack of specificity and the loose association between its intensity and the severity...
(3) diffuse alveolar filling opacities. Diffuse interstitial opacities are also possible, but diseases that cause this pattern usually have a more gradual onset and are associated with chronic respiratory failure. If the chest radiograph is normal (i.e., it is clear or relatively clear), ...
total dose and field size, as well as host factors such as prior chronic lung disease [52]. Dyspnea, cough, and fever develop prior to radiographic changes. Pulmonary function tests demonstrate restrictive ventilatory defect. Reduction in the diffusion capacity (DLCO) is the most sensitive maker ...

Such ability is destined to fade over time with progression to a late (chronic) inflammatory status. In recent years, the immunocompetent cells have emerged as a new relevant player for the appearance of immunosuppression or immunoparalysis that often characterizes the host’s response during the ...
