Inflammatory Changes

The differential diagnosis of pulmonary diseases is extremely difficult and requires high qualifications of the radiologist and clinician. The differential diagnosis is used to distinguish different lung diseases: nonspecific inflammatory lung diseases (empyema, abscess, pneumonia), tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, benign tumors, lung cancer, lymphogranulomatosis, metastatic changes, and inflammatory changes in lung tissue. We present a clinical case, in which the differential diagnosis between tumor and inflammatory changes in lung tissue allowed the choice of optimal treatment tactics.

Scoping Reviews

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is a promising novel medical imaging modality that allows for non-destructive volumetric imaging of surgical tissue specimens at high spatial resolution. The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the clinical applications of micro-CT for the tissue-based diagnosis of lung diseases. This scoping review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews, aiming to include every clinical study reporting on micro-CT imaging of human lung tissues. A literature search yielded 570 candidate articles, out of which 37 were finally included in the review. Of the selected studies, 9 studies explored via micro-CT imaging the morphology and anatomy of normal human lung tissue; 21 studies investigated microanatomic pulmonary alterations due to obstructive or restrictive lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis; and 7 studies examined the utility of micro-CT imaging in assessing lung cancer lesions (n = 4) or in transplantation-related pulmonary alterations (n = 3). The selected studies reported that micro-CT could successfully detect several lung diseases providing three-dimensional images of greater detail and resolution than routine optical slide microscopy, and could additionally provide valuable volumetric insight in both restrictive and obstructive lung diseases. In conclusion, micro-CT-based volumetric measurements and qualitative evaluations of pulmonary tissue structures can be utilized for the clinical management of a variety of lung diseases. With micro-CT devices becoming more accessible, the technology has the potential to establish itself as a core diagnostic imaging modality in pathology and to enable integrated histopathologic and radiologic assessment of lung cancer and other lung diseases.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />Non-enzymatic vitamin C (ascorbic acid) plays an important role in the medicinal field and acts as antioxidants use in fruits and vegetable such as<br />lemon, orange, grapes, carrots, tomatoes, grapefruit, beans, broccoli, and mangos. It helps to prevent and stop of various diseases such as lung cancer,<br />asthma, and wheezing and finding an antibronchospastic effect. Other factors such as diet have also been implicated in the development of lung<br />cancer. Despite the extensive research conducted in this area, the relationship between diet and lung cancer is still not clear. Diets high in fat and<br />low in vegetables and fruits may increase the risk of lung cancer and other fact eating of tobacco and smoking of cigarette. Lung tissue damage due<br />to high levels of free radicals in cigarette smoke causes direct (tissue oxidation) and indirect (release of oxidizing agents and enzymes). Vitamin C is<br />necessary for phagocytosis. It plays a significant role in daily life, dietary system like eating food, vegetable and smoking of cigarette. It helps to prevent<br />or stop the damage the lung tissue/or cause lung cancer. The present review studied that application of vitamin C act as antioxidant in lung cancer like<br />diseases such as lung-cancer and role in lung function.<br />Keywords: Review, Non-enzymatic antioxidant (vitamin C), Lung function, Lung diseases.</p>

Diagnosis Of Lung Cancer

The differential diagnosis of advanced lung cancer is difficult in clinical practice. Our study aims to compare the value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) with short-term inversion recovery sequence (STIR) for sagittal imaging in the differential diagnosis of lung cancer. 149 patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) were enrolled and underwent DWI and STIR sagittal imaging. To quantify cancer types, we evaluated the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value on DWI and the contrast ratio (CRs) on sagittal imaging. The ADC values of subclasses in NSCLC were significantly higher than small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) (p <0.01). The mean CRs were 1.59 for SCLC and 1.30 for NSCLC with a significant difference (p < 0.01). Large cell carcinomas (LCC) and adenocarcinomas have significant differences compared to small cell carcinomas (SCC) without difference between squamous cell carcinomas (p > 0.05); this is also the case for CRs. Squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma have significant differences compared to SCC without difference in LCC (p > 0.05). Qualitative evaluation of the feasible thresholds DWI and STIR showed that the thresholds were 0.9810−3 mm2/s and 1.37 respectively. The specificity and accuracy was 78.5% is 85.3% for DWI, which was significantly higher than STIR (56.3% and 61.0%). The combination of DWI and STIR sequences was superior to DWI alone with an accuracy rate of 94.3%. DWI is more helpful than STIR in differentiating SCLC and NSCLC, and their combined use can significantly improve diagnosis accuracy.

Angioedema is a localized and self-limiting oedema of the subcutaneous and submucosal tissue. Case presentation: 73-year-old man was admitted to the Division of Allergology with the diagnosis of angioedema. Detailed physical examination led to the suspicion of superior vena cava syndrome with secondary face swelling. Biopsy revealed metastasis of small cell carcinoma in superclavicular lymph nodes. Conclusions: Facial swelling, especially recurrent and non-inflammatory, is often, but not always caused by angioedema. Insightful differential diagnosis is crucial before making the final one.
