Diseases of the lungs, bronchi and pleura (pulmonology)

Clinical significance of endothelial dysfunction in children with recurrent obstructive bronchitis and bronchial asthma

Bronchial asthma (BA) is one of the most common childhood diseases. Epidemiological studies of recent years indicate that 5 to 10% of children suffer from this disease, and this figure increases every year.

Sternal cancer

Breast cancer is a tumor of the chest area of the body associated with various causes, localized mainly in the mediastinum, esophagus, lungs, and much less often in the heart.

Psychosocial rehabilitation of pneumoconiosis patients at the outpatient stage of treatment

General requirements for the organization of psychosocial rehabilitation of patients with pneumoconiosis at the stage of outpatient treatment are formulated.

Bronchitis treatment

Treatment of bronchitis should be started when the first signs of the disease appear, after visiting a doctor. With proper diagnosis and correct treatment, this disease is cured quite quickly.

Inflammation of the lungs

Pneumonia (synonym: pneumonia) is an inflammatory process of the lung tissue that affects the entire respiratory system. As statistics have shown, a considerable number of people who do not have the necessary knowledge distinguish between the concepts of "pneumonia" and "pneumonia", while, in fact, they mean the same disease.

Tumors of the chest wall

Primary chest wall tumors account for 5% of all chest tumors and 1-2% of all primary tumors. Almost half of the cases are benign tumors, the most common of which are osteochondroma, chondroma, and fibrous dysplasia.

Bronchial carcinoids

Bronchial carcinoids are rare, slow-growing neuroendocrine tumors originating from the bronchial mucosa that develop in patients aged 40–60 years.

Lung cancer

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor of the lung, usually classified as either small cell or non-small cell lung cancer. Cigarette smoking is the main risk factor for most types of cancer.

Obstructive night apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (sleep apnea) involves episodes of partial and/or complete closure of the upper airway during sleep, resulting in cessation of breathing lasting more than 10 seconds. Symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea include fatigue, snoring, repeated awakenings, morning headache, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Diagnosis is based on sleep history, physical examination, and polysomnography.

Central nocturnal apnea

Central sleep apnea (sleep apnea) is a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by changes in the respiratory drive or decreased ability to breathe without developing airway obstruction; most of these conditions cause asymptomatic changes in breathing patterns during sleep.
