University of Maryland Medicine Description Treatments Resources Description What is emphysema? Emphysema, short for pulmonary emphysema, is a chronic lung condition in which alveoli, or air sacs, may be:
  • destroyed narrowed collapsed stretched over-inflated
Over-inflation of the air-sacs is a result of a breakdown of the walls of the alveoli, and causes a decrease in respiratory function and breathlessness. Damage to the air sacs is irreversible and results in permanent "holes" in the tissues of the lower lungs. Causes Emphysema does not develop suddenly, but occurs very gradually. The lung has a system of elastic fibers that allow the lungs to expand and contract. Pulmonary emphysema occurs when a breakdown in the chemical balance that protects the lungs against the destruction of the elastic fibers occurs. There are a number of reasons for the breakdown in chemical balance:
  • smoking exposure to air pollution irritating fumes and dusts on the job a rare inherited form of the disease called alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency-related pulmonary emphysema, or early onset pulmonary emphysema

http://www.aventisbehring.com/AventisBehring/NewsAndEvents/alphaone.asp
Your Contact: Kim Cayz Aventis Behring Announces FDA ‘Fast Track’ Designation for Inherited Emphysema Treatment King of Prussia, PA, December 20, 2000 – Aventis Behring L.L.C. announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track review status for the development of a potential intravenous treatment for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (A1AD) related emphysema. The investigational drug is Alpha1 Proteinase Inhibitor IV (Human), which is currently being studied in Phase III clinical trials. Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency affects approximately 100,000 Americans, according to the Alpha One Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to increasing the awareness and early diagnosis of this life-threatening genetic disorder. A1AD may affect both the structure and the function of the lungs and can lead to chronic emphysema and premature death if left untreated. “Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency is a serious hereditary condition and as a result, the FDA has determined that this treatment warrants an accelerated clinical development and review period,” said Dr. Ruedi Waeger, CEO of Aventis Behring, L.L.C. “We are pleased with the Fast Track designation, and believe that the FDA supports our research efforts in patients associated with A1AD related emphysema.” “We are pleased that the FDA has recognized the critical situation shared by the Alpha -1 community. Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency is one of the most under-recognized and underdiagnosed hereditary disorders in the United States,” said John W. Walsh, President and CEO of the Alpha One Foundation. “We are extremely impressed with Aventis Behring's commitment to help alleviate the unmet medical needs of Alpha-1 patients.”

    Emphysema
    Definition
    • Emphysema is a disease in which the alveoli (tiny air sacs) of the lung become damaged. This results in a decrease in respiratory function (the lungs don't work as well) and often, breathlessness. Early symptoms of emphysema include shortness of breath and cough. Emphysema and chronic bronchitis together comprise chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
    Additional Info
      Smoking is by far the major risk factor (cause) of emphysema, accounting for 82% of COPD cases according to the American Lung Association. Certain individuals are also genetically disposed towards emphysema; this form is called alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) emphysema. Extensive smoking can lead to irreparable lung damage, even if you quit smoking. In these cases, the condition is not likely to improve and death by respiratory or cardiac (heart) failure is the inevitable outcome (months to years). Is smoking worth three years on a respirator as your body wastes away? Quit today, if not for yourself then for your friends and families who don't want to deal with that.

Pneumothorax, Pneumomediastinum and Pulmonary Interstitial Emphysema
What are Pneumothorax, Pneumomediastinum and Pulmonary Interstitial Emphysema (PIE)?
Normally the air that we breathe goes down the trachea (windpipe) to a series of branches of the windpipe called bronchi. The air then goes to the air sacs where oxygen is delivered to the blood and carbon dioxide is released. If the air sacs become overfilled with air, the air can break out of the air sacs and get into spaces where it should not be. This condition is sometimes referred to as AIR LEAK and includes the following:
  • PNEUMOTHORAX where the air is trapped inside the chest between the chest wall and the lung, causing the lung to collapse.
  • PNEUMOMEDIASTINUM where air is trapped in the middle part of the chest.
  • PULMONARY INTERSTITIAL EMPHYSEMA (PIE) where air is trapped between the tiny air sacs, encircling the smallest blood vessels and bronchi.
  • Less commonly, air can encircle the heart, (Pneumopericardium), get under the skin, (Subcutaneous Emphysema), leak into the abdomen (Pneumoperitoneum) or surround the kidneys (Pneumoretroperitoneum). A baby often has more than one form of air leak. For example, PIE can progress to pneumomediastinum and/or pneumothorax.
Which babies get air leak?

Lung Volume Reduction Surgery for Emphysema

The National Emphysema Treatment Trial is a clinical trial to learn about the benefits and risks of lung volume reduction surgery.
To do this, researchers will compare the benefits and risks of:
  • medical treatment for emphysema and
  • medical treatment plus lung volume reduction surgery.
People who take part in NETT will be assigned to one of these treatment groups. NETT staff will follow patient's response to treatment for up to 5 years.
Lung Volume Reduction Surgery for Emphysema has been shown to relieve shortness of breath and improve the quality of life of some patients with severe emphysema. While some patients appear to benefit from this procedure, others do not. Questions remain as to the optimal patient selection criteria, the mechanisms of improvement, and the long term effects of the procedure. Whether most patients with emphysema would benefit from this procedure is unknown. The National Institutes of Health and the Health Care Financing Administration are jointly sponsoring a large multicenter clinical study comparing volume reduction surgery for emphysema with standard intensive medical therapy. This study is called the National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT). The Mayo Clinic has been designated as one of the clinical centers collaborating with other centers across the United States in this important trial. This trial is being done because it is not known whether volume reduction surgery for emphysema or conventional medical treatment is better for most patients. This trial will take several years to be completed.

Dimitriy A. Yablonskiy, Ph.D.
Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine A major advance in lung imaging may add momentum to the long struggle in the evaluation and treatment of emphysema and other chronic lung diseases. "CT doesn't give you information at the level of the alveoli, which is the basic structure of the lung. Nor does it distinguish between ventilated and unventilated areas of the lungs. CT can tell you about the decrease in lung tissue density, but by itself, cannot tell you about the microstructure of the lung," says Dr. Yablonskiy, a professor of physics and an assistant professor of radiology at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. About five years ago, scientists suggested the idea of having patients inhale hyperpolarized helium while being imaged by MR, and then measuring the distance helium atoms traveled inside the lung. "Helium is much less dense than water. Because the signals that we measure with MRI are proportional to the [spin] density of the substance, we must hyperpolarize the nuclear spins of the gas prior to imaging."

Emphysema
Emphysema is a progressive lung condition which leaves sufferers struggling for breath. Miners who say their job left them with irreversible emphysema have been at court fighting for compensation from their former employers. Emphysema is caused by gradual damage to the structure of the lungs, which makes it harder to exhale. The tiny air sacs in the lungs called alveoli, through which oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream, lose their natural elasticity, meaning spent air is pushed back out into the lungs. This leaves the lungs feeling continually over full, and it is a struggle for sufferers to force air in and out. This eventually means that the body is not getting enough oxygen, leading to fatigue and weight loss. Although it can start simply as mild breathlessness during exercise and a persistent cough, it can leave sufferers housebound and reliant on oxygen supplies, and eventually contribute to death. Smoking causes it Emphysema usually affects older people as it is due to culmulative damage over a long period, such as a lifetime of smoking.

United States of America

Chronic subcutaneous emphysema following air sac trauma is frequently encountered in avian species. For the companion avian practitioner, larger psittacine species represent patients that are suitable for corrective measures. Miniaturized techniques might be used in smaller patients.
THE STENT: DESCRIPTION AND TECHNIQUE
The stent used is machined from solid virgin Teflon by McAllister Technical Services at West 280 Prairie Avenue, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814, tel: 1-208-772-9527. The unit is 12.7 or 16 mm in diameter with eight pre-drilled holes for suture placement in the subcutaneous flange. The central stem is 1.5 mm deep and 4.5 mm in diameter with a 1.5 mm orifice. The outer rim is 8 mm in diameter, allowing the skin to tuck under the edge and thereby preventing the healing dermis from closing over the implant. The stents are inert and non-reactive. One post-surgical problem has been occasional plugging of the stent with mucous or congealed tissue fluid which is easily removed with a needle. This has occurred a few times post-operatively in some cases, but this problem eventually clears. Post-operative antibiotics have not been used and infected surgical sites have not occurred. To prevent post-surgical plugging in larger psittacines, it might be useful to use a larger stent with a 3 mm orifice and a 16 mm diameter external flange.

    Click here for drugs used to treat rhinitis and sinusitis Go Directly to Drug Classification COMMENT ON CLASSIFICATION. There are many ways to classify drugs for asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). The classification offered here is based on their mechanism of action in improving the basic problem (which is airway obstruction) and by their route of administration (oral or pill form, by inhalation, or by injection). Our lungs contain many branching airways that deliver fresh air to the blood. The phrase "drugs for asthma and COPD" means drugs that help open up the airways when they become narrowed due to disease. (Note that these are generally different from medications used to treat upper airway problems (rhinitis and sinusitis); see the link above for a table of those drugs.) Other drugs may be used in people with asthma and COPD, such as antibiotics for infection, but they are not used to directly "open up" the airways. When it comes to drugs for "opening up" the airways, all available medications can be classified by one of two basic mechanisms of action: bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory.
