My father diagnosed with Advanced prostate cancer
After 4 months trying to convince him, he was finally able to do a full body CT PET scan which revealed a severely enlarged prostate and
emphysema
in his lung (smoker of 52 years ) pretty weird. We went to the urologist to change his catheter and he give him a prescription of biculatamide 50mg.

A breath of fresh air for emphysema research
It is possible to create a mouse model of
emphysema
by treating mice with an enzyme called elastase. The team developed a mouse line that was missing the FCHSD1 protein and studied the responses of these mice in comparison with normal mice when
emphysema
was induced.

Questioning the value of a follow up and a battery of tests
If I find my CB, Asthma and SAD has evolved to mild
Emphysema
there’s going to be a significant toll on my mental health. So given my situation the only benefit would be a CT scan to rule out the big C, I don’t smoke anymore.

Co2 retention
We have been dealing with
emphysema
for 17 years now so I’m not easily frightened but I must admit the thought of a repeat of the previous episode terrifies me and we’ve been given no guidance as to how to keep the Co2 levels down .

Book: A must read!
COPD,
Emphysema
, ILD, ALPHA 1 genetic disease, bronchial diseases. So much deep information, yet well explained & understandable. I can’t recommend this book enough!

CT scans suggest possible lung destruction in some asthmatics
In this approach, the scientists examined CT scans employing an index called “exponent D” for areas of reduced lung density with increasing coalescence of neighboring airspaces, which indicates
emphysema
, or the destruction of air sacs.

Health Anxiety - It will create physical symptoms!!!
Saw all kinds of bad stuff, cancer,
emphysema
, heart attacks you name it. Without going in to too much detail let me just say that since 2010 I have self diagnosed (thanks to Mr. Google and my anxious mind) and survived many life threatening diseases.

*Reversal of emphysema by restoration of pulmonary endothelial cells*
As such, harnessing the regenerative potential of the endothelium through delivery of healthy ECs has therapeutic potential in diseased lungs. https://rupress.org/jem/article/218/8/e20200938/212491/Reversal-of-
