The pathophysiology of a pneumothorax (figure 9.5) leads to hypoxia and hypercapnia in the affected lung through changes in perfusion and ventilation. Perfusion to the affected side is markedly reduced as the vasoconstrictive response to local hypoxia and the loss of radial traction to vessels profoundly increases vascular resistance. Consequently, perfusion shifts to the contralateral and unaffected lung. Similarly ventilation to the collapsed lung is minimal as airspaces are collapsed and airway resistance is very high, but the chemoreceptive reflexes increase ventilation to the unaffected lung where resistance is normal. Because perfusion and ventilation are shifted to the normal lung, V/Q mismatching may be compensated to some degree and severe hypoxemia may be avoided. When pneumothorax occurs patients usually describe a rapid onset of dyspnea and initial sudden sharp pain.

The pathogenesis is an initial alveolar injury, with plasma proteins leaking into the alveolar lumen that is followed by recruited fibroblasts depositing connective tissue with the lumen itself. These fibrotic lesions show a homogenous time line and movement to the distal airways, but are actually reversible, which is in contrast of the lesions seen in usual interstitial pneumonia. In COP the lung architecture is maintained, probably through more thorough regulation of angiogenesis and apoptosis than that seen in usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP).",True,Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia,,,, 7deb323c-7cf5-4ec3-bc57-43d2dd013c47,https://pressbooks.lib.vt.edu/pulmonarypathophysiology/,Basis of Restrictive Lung Disease,https://pressbooks.lib.vt.edu/pulmonarypathophysiology/chapter/the-restrictive-lung-diseases/#chapter-31-section-1,"The onset of COP is marked with dyspnea and dry cough (as with most ILDs), and it has a moderate time line of a couple of months, after which symptoms subside.

Occurrence of diphtheria is now rare in developed countries because of vaccination programs, but infection produces sore throat, swelling of cervical lymph glands, and low-grade fever. Most cases are tonsillopharyngeal where a pseudomembrane and exudate (figure 2.5) is produced that can spread to other areas.

Edematous airway walls form an upper airway obstruction that produces stridor. Stridor is a crow-like airway sound, and the phase of breathing that it appears in can be helpful in determining the site of obstruction. Stridor during inspiration is indicative of airway collapse above the vocal cords (i.e., extrathoracic), and expiratory stridor suggests a tracheal or bronchial obstruction (i.e., intrathoracic). The constriction of the airway can be seen on x-ray when severe and the narrowing produces a characteristic “steeple” sign in the trachea (see figure 2.3).",True,Viral Croup,Figure 2.3,2. Upper Airway Infections,https://pressbooks.lib.vt.edu/app/uploads/sites/72/2022/05/2.3.jpeg,Figure 2.3: An x-ray of the upper airway of a child suffering from tracheal croup.

Most cases are tonsillopharyngeal where a pseudomembrane and exudate (figure 2.5) is produced that can spread to other areas.
