There are three distinct subtypes of diffuse K ATP HI: (1) recessive (biallelic) diazoxide-unresponsive; (2) dominant (monoallelic) diazoxide-unresponsive; and (3) dominant (monoallelic...

... Abstract The diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD) comprise anextremely wide spectrum of pathologies, presentations, and outcomes.Many different approaches to the classification of DPLDsexist.The most common classification scheme divides the DPLDinto 4 broad categories based on whether...

... Abstract Diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD) encompasses awide array of disorders, characterized by inflammatory andfibrotic changes affecting alveolar walls and airspaces. DPLDmay be caused by myriad etiologies, with differing prognoses,natural history, and therapies. In this review, we...

... Abstract Modifications of the lung structure in diffuse parenchymallung diseases (DPLD) depend on the site of involvement (centrilobular,diffuse, focal/patchy, lymphangitic, sub-pleural, etc.)and on the type and extent of damage and repair. Recognizinghistological patterns is a major task...

... Abstract Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) refers to a clinicalsyndrome resulting from injury to the alveolar capillaries,arterioles, and venules leading to red blood cell accumulationin the distal air spaces. It is defined by the clinical triad ofhemoptysis, anemia, and progressive hypoxemia...
