| Versterkte* longtenkening* bassal. increased markings at the bases of the lungs Explanation: correct spelling is: 'versterkte longtekening basaal' 'longtekening'= lung markings you have normal lung markings and 'versterkte' lung markings' in English 'increased lung markings' Normal Lung Markings The only normal densities within the lungs are the pulmonary vessels when filled with blood and fissures. Where they are seen, they are densities, not lucencies. Normal pulmonary markings (vessels) can be followed from the hilum toward the lung periphery in all directions. They branch at acute angles, taper and diverge toward the periphery. Abnormal pulmonary markings are any shadows in the area of lungs that are IN ADDITION to the normal markings (fissures, vessels). http://robochest.com/WebHelp/Normal_Lung_Markings.html Chronic smokers who experience shortness of breath with or without exertion, frequent respiratory infections, and a chronic and persistent cough with sputum production, are suspected of having COPD. People are sometimes first diagnosed with COPD after being hospitalized with a respiratory illness. Physical findings associated with COPD include wheezing and an enlarged chest cavity. A health care professional will hear faint and distant breath sounds with a stethoscope when listening to the person's chest. Air is trapped in the person's lungs and is unable to empty with exhalation. The extra air dampens the sounds the health care professional hears, resulting in the over-inflation of the person's chest cavity. Those who are affected predominantly by emphysema have x-rays showing an enlarged chest cavity, as well as * decreased lung markings * that demonstrate destruction of their lung tissues and enlargement of their air-spaces. Persons who have predominantly chronic bronchitis present x-rays that show * increased lung markings * showing inflamed, thickened, and scarred airways. http://www.disabled-world.com/health/respiratory/chronic-obs... |
