How much does a Diseased lung weigh?
There is no answer to your question since there is a lack of context with regard to the disease. A diseased lung is altered by it's pathology. Different pathologies (courses of disease) may result in different outcomes of the same lung size (that is make some lungs heavier whole other diseases may reduce the weight of the lung).
What are the symptoms of lung worm in humans?
CoughOne of the most common symptoms of lung flukes is coughing, which may begin as a dry heaving cough and progress to severe coughing with red flakes of blood.PainPatients may notice severe chest and abdominal pain as a result of inflammation. They may attribute this pain to coughing when it is fact a result of the parasitic infestation.FeverAlthough many lung parasite infections go unnoticed, more severe cases may result in a low- to high-grade fever.DiarrheaLung flukes may cause diarrhea. One way to detect lung flukes is to test feces of patients who display symptoms; they often travel into the intestines and make their way out of the body.Other ConditionsThose who suffer from frequent cases of pneumonia and bronchitis might consider being tested for lung parasites, which often contribute to the development of these conditions. They can also contribute to the development of lung abscesses.
What are abnormal results of a lung biopsy?
Nodules in the lungs may be due to active infections such as tuberculosis, or may be scars from a previous infection. The lung cells on microscopic examination do not resemble normal cells,
How does a dog get lung cancer?
Some types of Cells give the dog lung Cancer. But the cells are harmful to the dog. >.< Dogs have the advantage of not smoking cigarettes, however, they do still breathe the air, which may be badly polluted, and they can be exposed to various irritants such as asbestos or fiberglass fibers in their environment, which if inhaled could cause lung cancer.
Asbestos breaks down into small fibers. What may result If these fibers are inhaled?
Asbestosis is a restrictive lung disease which can be fatal. In addition, exposure to asbestos can cause lung cancer and a cancer of the lung lining called mesothelioma. While lung cancer has a number of associated causes, asbestosis and mesothelioma are uniquely associated with exposure to asbestos.
Lung cancer affects which two body systems?
Lung cancer will effect the blood gas-exchange system, as damaged lung tissue, may cause difficulty in the exchange of gas from the air into the blood stream, and may cause cyanosis, deeper breathing, and even asphyxia (death, which is caused by insufficient amount of oxygen into the brain cells).
Understanding Lung Cancer Tumors?
Malignant lung tumors can grow quickly and spread to other organs of the body. Lung cancer has the highest chance of being successfully treated when a patient is diagnosed in the early stages. Individuals with risk factors should understand the symptoms of lung cancer tumors.Causes of Lung CancerMajority of lung cancer cases result from individuals who smoke tobacco for a long period of time. The more cigarettes and the longer a person smokes increase the risk of developing lung cancer. Smoking cigars and pipes can also contribute to the development of lung cancer, although the risk is not as high as with cigarettes. The chemicals in tobacco lead to the mutation of cells within the lungs. As the cells reproduce, a person develops lung cancer. Non-smoking individuals who live around second-hand smoke are also at risk of developing lung cancer.Symptoms of Lung CancerApproximately one-fourth of individuals with lung cancer do not experience any symptoms. In many cases, lung cancer is discovered during a routine X-ray of the chest. A patients that does not experience symptoms usually has a small, solitary lung tumor. As lung cancer grows, tumors can start to invade the lungs and cause symptoms. Lung cancer tumors may cause shortness of breath, chest pain, vocal cord paralysis, and coughing up blood. In some patients, lung cancer can spread to the bone and cause extreme pain. Cancer can also spread to the brain and affect an individual's vision and cause headaches and seizures.Staging and TreatmentsStaging refers to how much lung cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body. The stage of an individual's lung cancer determines how the doctor will treat the cancer. Lung cancer stages range from stage I to stage IV. Stage I lung cancer, which means the tumor is only located in the lung, may be treated with surgery to remove the tumor. Radiation therapy is used to kill cancer cells and prevent them from dividing, and to shrink tumors so that surgery can be performed. Individuals with advanced lung cancer typically undergo chemotherapy, which is used to kill rapidly dividing cancer cells. The unfortunate part of chemotherapy is that it also kills normal cells. Chemotherapy can compromise a person's immune system.
What is the prognosis of CGD?
Although antibiotics can treat most infections and may help prevent others, premature death may result, typically due to repeated lung infections.
