The early stages are marked by alveolitis, an inflammation of the air sacs called alveoli, in the lungs. The job of the air sacs is to allow the transfer of oxygen from the lungs into the blood and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the lungs and out of the body. As IPF progresses, the alveoli become damaged and scarred, thus stiffening the lungs. The stiffening makes breathing difficult ...

The immobility of the ankle joint will influence ambulatory venous hypertension and is a factor in causing venous ulceration. A referral to physiotherapy is recommended for patients that have reduced or no ankle joint mobility to loosen soft-tissue contractures through the use of physical therapy. Studies have shown that patients with venous leg ulcers have low level of physical activity ...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is most often diagnosed in its advanced stages because of the non-specific nature of early symptoms and signs. Although clinical assessment is essential when initially evaluating patients with suspected PAH, echocardiography is a key screening tool in the diagnostic algorithm. It provides an estimate of pulmonary pressure at rest and during exercise and is ...

Since PH is often diagnosed only at an advanced stage of disease [15], the lack of specific biomarker for detection of early stages of PH represents a crucial problem. HGF has been suggested as a potential predictor of mortality in heart failure patients [16], hypertension severity [17] and could also be relevant in diagnostics of PH [18]. HGF plasma levels correlated with mean pulmonary ...

This injury, which occurs for unknown ...
