Hypertension In Children

The respiratory diseases are consistently ranked first in the morbidity pattern among children and adolescents in the Russian Federation. Registry data show that 10-12% of children with pulmonary hypertension have PH-associated chronic lung pathology. Pulmonary hypertension as a life-threatening complication of such chronic lung diseases as hypersensitive pneumonitis, bronchiectasis, bronchial asthma, etc. aggravates the severity of their clinical course and has a great impact on the outcome of the disease. The article summarizes modern data on pulmonary hypertension in children of various ages associated with chronic bronchopulmonary pathology. The issues of classification, pathogenetic mechanisms, criteria and modern methods of diagnosis and treatment, as well as prognosis are considered. The authors come to the conclusion that despite the in-depth study of the pathogenetic aspects of the development of pulmonary hypertension in chronic bronchopulmonary pathology in children, which has recently made it possible to shed light on the understanding of many of its aspects, it should be admitted that the problem as a whole is far from being resolved. Early detection and treatment of pulmonary hemodynamic pathology is extremely important to prevent the formation of cor pulmonale. Pulmonary hypertension, which complicates the chronic lung diseases, is still incurable and is associated with high mortality. Now, young patients with pulmonary hypertension are still often examined and treated using guidelines for adult patients. However, differences in etiology, clinical presentations and diagnostic capabilities require a special approach to studying this problem in children, which raises the question of the need to develop separate clinical guidelines for pediatric practice.

Chronic Cor Pulmonale

The objective: to identify specific features of the clinical course of tuberculosis in elderly and senile patients under the current epidemic situation.The specific clinical course of tuberculosis was analyzed in 54 patients at the age of 61 years and older and compared with the course of 234 patients at the age from 18 to 39 years selected by the continuous sampling of all 472 patients discharged from hospital in 2018. The following features were found to be typical of patients of 61 years and older: more frequent chronic forms of the disease (37.0%) and complications (35.2%), the major complication was chronic cor pulmonale (33.3%); more frequent concurrent chronic nonspecific lung diseases (13.0%) and coronary heart disease/arterial hypertension (14.8%); more frequent deaths (31.5%), mainly due to pulmonary heart disease; less frequent generalization of tuberculosis (5.5%) and concurrent HIV infection (7.4%).

Chapter 18 covers the basic science and clinical topics relating to respiratory medicine which trainees are required to learn as part of their basic training and demonstrate in the MRCP. The chapter starts with an introduction to the respiratory system, before covering respiratory defence and physiology, respiratory investigations, respiratory failure, pneumonia, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, pleural effusion, chronic obstructive pulmonary Disease, adult respiratory distress syndrome, asthma , fungal lung diseases, pulmonary embolism , lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, extrinsic allergic alveolitis, occupational lung diseases, sarcoidosis, Cor pulmonale and pulmonary hypertension, pneumothorax, cough and haemoptysis, pulmonary eosinophilia, and obstructive sleep apnoea.
