• Cognitive Impairment

  In a community-based cohort followed for 27 years, both restrictive and, to a lesser extent, obstructive lung disease were associated with greater risk of incident dementia and mild cognitive impairment. [pats.atsjournals.org]

Studies have shown that cryobiopsy can provide a definitive diagnosis in many patients undergoing workup for IIP, eliminating the need for surgical lung biopsy. [clinicaladvisor.com]

It is possible that bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumonia represents a form of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis for which the inhalational stimulus has not been identified despite our extensive workup for this condition. [nature.com]

See Workup for more detail. Management The optimal medical therapy for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has yet to be identified. [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Pulmonary Consolidation

  IPF의 급성 악화 시에는 HRCT상 기존의 망상음영과 벌집모양의 병변에 더하여 젖빛유리음영과 폐경화(pulmonary consolidation)의 소견이 미만성, 다국소성, 혹은 주변부 등의 분포로 나타나게 된다[12]. [ekjm.org]

  Radiological features Chest X-ray shows aspecific pleural thickening of apical regions, with small subpleural pulmonary consolidations. This imaging pattern is indistinguishable from many other chronic pulmonary infections (tuberculosis). [link.springer.com]

• Human Herpesvirus 6

  In all four patients, (1) the conditioning regimen induced total body irradiation, (2) serological reactivation of cytomegalovirus and/or human herpesvirus-6 preceded the onset of IIP, (3) their human leucocyte antigen types were among those suspected [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although pulmonary (67)Ga uptake significantly decreased after treatment (P 0.001), there was no correlation between either initial (67)Ga uptake or change in (67)Ga uptake on treatment and 1-y prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In patients with IPF or fibrotic NSIP, pulmonary (67)Ga scintigraphy may be useful for predicting response to therapy and prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Predicting prognosis in the individual patient is challenging but various clinical and radiologic variables have been identified. [doi.org]

As the name implies, the etiology is unknown. In the more severe forms of IIP, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and acute interstitial pneumonia, no effective therapies have been identified. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
