Bilateral emphysematous changes refer to the presence of emphysema affecting both lungs. Emphysema is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by the destruction of alveoli, leading to reduced elasticity of lung tissue and impaired airflow. This condition is often associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and can result from long-term exposure to irritants like cigarette smoke. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, chronic cough, and decreased exercise tolerance.

What causes emphysematous changes?
Emphysematous changes are primarily caused by long-term exposure to irritants, such as cigarette smoke or air pollution, which lead to damage in the alveoli and lung tissue. This damage results in the breakdown of the walls of the alveoli, reducing their ability to effectively exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Over time, this can lead to breathing difficulties and decreased lung function characteristic of emphysema.
What does suspected bilateral nonunited spondyloysis at L5 mean?
There are arthritic, age-related changes at the fifth lumbar vertebrae.
What is a diagnosis that reads Emphysematous blebs and bullae?
Lungs A bleb is due to the rupture of the wall of the alveolus, allowing air to escape into the alveolar layer of the pleura. With a bulla, there is distention of the alveoli with atrophy, followed by rupture and the formation of an unusually large air filled cavity. Blebs and bullae can be single, multiple, small or distended enough to occupy an entire hemithorax. Frequently bilateral and usually associated with a generalized pulmonary emphysema. Note: The majority of emphysematous blebs are caused by cigarette smoking.
Which is correct - bilateral leg or bilateral legs?
Bilateral legs
Do nematodes have radial or bilateral symmetry?
They have bilateral symmetry. Though they are round they don't have radial symmetry
What is emphysematous pyelonephritis?
Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a severe, gas-forming infection of the kidney caused by certain bacteria, most commonly Escherichia coli. It is considered a medical emergency due to its high mortality rate and requires prompt diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics and sometimes surgical intervention. Symptoms include fever, flank pain, and systemic signs of infection.
