Infectious diseases (tuberculosis)

mediastinal cancer

Within the term mediastinal tumors are grouped a number of cystic lesions and tumors that originate in different tissues and organs mediastinal or extramediastinales. The most common mediastinal tumors are thymomas, lymphomas, intrathoracic goiters, neurofibromas and teratomas. About a third of mediastinal tumors are asymptomatic. While the presence of symptoms is not synonymous with malignancy, there is evidence that malignant lesions are most frequently symptomatic. For malignant tumors proper extension study and an evaluation of surgical indication, which often must be preceded or followed by other therapeutic means (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) were performed. ...

Pectus Excavatum

Pectus excavatum or pectus excavatum deformity is an abnormal rib cage that gives the chest a sunken throughout the area of the sternum appearance. This deformity is congenital and usually occurs during pregnancy. If this collapse is severe, the patient may experience problems with the heart and lungs, causing difficulties during exercise. ...

Pleural effusion

Pleural effusion is an accumulation of fluid between the layers of tissue that line the lungs and chest cavity. The body produces pleural fluid in small amounts to lubricate the surfaces of the pleura, the thin tissue that lines the chest cavity and surrounds the lungs. A pleural effusion is an abnormal collection of this fluid. They can be of two types. Transudative pleural effusions are caused by fluid leaking into the pleural space, which is caused by high pressure in the blood vessels or low protein content in the blood. The most common cause is congestive heart failure. Exudative effusions are caused by blocked blood vessels or lymph vessels, inflammation, lung injury and tumors. The goal of treatment is to remove the liquid, it becomes evtiar to accumulate and determine the cause of accumulation. The removal of fluid (thoracentesis) can be performed if there is a lot of this and is causing pressure in the chest, shortness of breath or other breathing problems, such as low oxygen levels. Removing the fluid allows the lung to expand, making breathing easier. ...

Pulmonary Emphysema

Pulmonary emphysema is an obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) characterized by curative treatment without destroying the walls of the alveoli (the branches of the lungs where the exchange of oxygen between the inspired air and the blood is performed), which causes a decrease respiratory function and progressive lung destruction. Its main manifestations are shortness of breath shortness of breath (especially when you're active and exercise is done) and cough. Among the most common causes of emphysema are: consumption of snuff extended in time; environmental and occupational factors, such as exposure to chemicals or toxic gas emissions; the elderly, especially in the male, and in the case of a history of chronic bronchitis, asthma and deficiency of a protein called alpha-1antritipsina (responsible for protecting the lungs from inflammation caused by infections or inhalations). Medical treatment is palliative and includes support for smoking cessation, bronchodilators, antibiotics, oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation exercises, lung volume reduction by surgery, and lung transplantation. ...

Thoracic tumors

Tumors of the chest wall are presented as a package and the most common symptom is usually pain. The most common location is in the ribs. Although we can find tumors in the scapula, sternum or muscle. Surgery is the most effective for tumor treatment parede chest. Surgical treatment depends on the nature of the tumor. In tumors from benign behavior resection of the lesion is usually carried out respecting the surrounding tissues (skin, muscle, rib arches neighbors). In tumors of malignant nature it is fundametnal make an en bloc resection of tissue injury including neighborhood. Sometimes if the tumor removed once the defect remains is large, it is necessary to be reconstructed with a rigid or semi-rigid prosthesis. In the most common cases, it is not uncommon to have to include tumor resection of the lung, thymus, pericardium or other body part or affixed to intrathoracic tumor. Monitoring after surgery is important, especially for the control of relapses. ...
