What is Emphysema? What is Lung Volume Reduction Surgery? Background and Rationale ... Other Resources What is NETT? Return to Top What is Emphysema? Emphysema is a chronic lung condition that is a major cause of death and disability in the United States. Two million Americans are affected, largely those who are over age 50. With emphysema, breathing becomes difficult as the fine architecture of the lung is destroyed, leading to large holes in the lung, obstruction of the airways, trapping of air, and difficulty exchanging oxygen because of reduced elasticity of the lungs. In the United States, cigarette smoking is by far the most important risk factor for emphysema. Emphysema costs more than $2.5 billion in annual health care expenses and causes or contributes to 100,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. Current medical treatments include smoking cessation for those who still smoke, exercise rehabilitation, oxygen therapy for those with low blood oxygen levels, supportive and preventive measures such as flu shots, pneumonia vaccine, medications such as bronchodilators to help open airways, prompt treatment of respiratory infections, and lung transplantation.

Respiratory system Definition Return to top Emphysema is a lung disease that involves damage to the air sacs (alveoli). The air sacs are unable to completely deflate (hyperinflation) and are therefore unable to fill with fresh air to ensure adequate oxygen supply to the body. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of emphysema. Tobacco smoke and other pollutants are thought to cause the release of chemicals from within the lungs that damage the walls of the air sacs. This damage becomes worse over time, affecting the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs. A naturally occurring substance in the lungs called alpha-1 antitrypsin may protect against this damage. People with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency are at an increased risk for this disease.

Types of Emphysema This lung was dried and sliced. It shows the two major types of emphysema. What are they? Answer In a closer view, another type of emphysema can be seen along the major fissure. What type is this? Answer An infrequent type of emphysema is shown here at the lung apex. What is it? Answer This section illustrates which type of emphysema? Answer This photo is taken from a patient with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency-related emphysema. It shows an increased number of PMNs in capillaries (arrows and many more) and some alveolar and interstitial blood not thought to be related to the pneumonectomy. These PMNs can potentially digest the collagen and elastin of the alveolar wall (see discussion). Note the megakaryocyte in a capillary (arrowhead at top). Its function is not known, but any contribution of platelets would help to preserve the integrity of the capillary bed. Clinical summary Discussion Table of Contents Answer: The lung shows panacinar (synonym: panlobular) emphysema in the apical segment. It shows centriacinar (synonym: centrilobular) emphysema in the remainder of the lung, but note that the upper lobe is involved more than the middle and lower lobes.

37. News In Science - Now Red Wine Can Help The Lungs - 29/10/2003 A UK study shows that resveratrol, an antioxidant found mainly in red wine, could help fight the effects of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. http://abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s976895.htm

ABC Home Radio Television News ... Podcasts Print Email to a friend Now red wine can help the lungs Heather Catchpole ABC Science Online Wednesday, 29 October 2003 Chemicals in red wine could be the next treatment for chronic lung disease. Faquier County, Virginia Trawling the wine cellar for potential cures for human ailments in the same way we search tropical rainforests and oceans for useful drugs has yielded a new treatment for chronic lung disease. Researchers from Imperial College, London have reported in the British Medical Journal that resveratrol, a component of red wine, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help treat a common type of lung disease. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an irreversible condition where the lungs progressively deteriorate, making it difficult to breathe. The term is used to describe the airflow obstruction that is associated mainly with emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The major risk factor for COPD is smoking and the only way to slow the disease is to stop smoking, use asthma medication and get some good old fashioned exercise. Now researchers have found that resveratrol, a polyphenol antioxidant found in the skins of red fruits such as grapes, may suppress the disease.
