SMOKING
MY OBJECTIVES :
WAAD ALOTAIBI 311200661
Prevalence in KSA
About 19 percent of American adults smoke these days, compared with about 42 percent in 1965.less prevalent in Canada, Mexico and Iceland.Overall, the prevalence of smoking has gone down worldwide over the past few decades.
PREVALENCE OF TOBACCO USE 2009Men was highest in the WHO Western Pacific Region, with 51% of men aged 15 and above smoking some form of tobacco. Women was highest in the WHO European Region at 22%.In all WHO regions except Europe, girls aged 13–15 years old are using tobacco at higher rates than women aged 15 and older.
The high rates among girls suggest potential substantial increases for women in the near future.
The rates at which adolescent boys use tobacco average around 18% globally
EMPHYSEMA
DEFINITION :is characterized by abnormal permanent enlargement of
airspaces distal to terminal bronchioles accompanied by
destruction of their walls without obvious fibrosis
TYPES OF EMPHYSEMA: is classified according to its anatomic distribution
within the lobule 1-centriacinar 2- panacinar 3- distal acinar
4- irregular
1-centriacinar : more common and severe in upper lobs particulary in apical segments and this type is most commonly seen as a consequence of cigarette smoking in people who do not have congenital
deficiency of alpha 1-antitrypsin.
PATHOGENESIS :-the genesis of two common forms of emphysema (centriacinar – panacinar )is not completely understood
-emphysema arising as a consequence of two critical imbalances :the protease-antiprotease imbalance and oxidant-antioxidant imbalance
- . the protease-antiprotease imbalance hypothesis is based on the observation that patients with genetic deficiency of antiprotease alpha1-antitrypsin have a markedly enhanced tendency to develop pulmonary emphysema which is compounded by smoking
-alpha1-antitrypsin,normaly present in serum ,tissue fluids, and macrophages ,is major inhibitor of proteases (elastase) secreted by neutrophils during inflammation
-thus ,emphysema is seen to result from destructive effect of high protease activity in subjects with low antiprotease activity
MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN EMPHYSEMA
GROSS:1-panacinar emphysema : pale, voluminous lungs that often obscure the heart
when the anterior chest wall is removed at autopsy 2-centriacinar emphysema: are less impressive .the lungs are deeper pink and
lesser voluminous than panacinar
MICROSCOPIC:Thinning and destruction of alveolar walls ,with advanced disease adjacent alveoli become confluent creating large airspaces
Terminal and respiratory bronchioles may be deformed because of the loss of septa
Loss of elastic tissue in surrounding alveolar septa
Bullous emphysema with large apical and subpleural bulla
COMPLICATED BY:
• CHF(cor pulmonal)• Pulmonary hypertension• Respiratory acidosis• Hypoxia • Coma• Pneumothorax • Collapse • Polycythemia
.
CHRONIC BRONCHITIS DEFINITION:
-the diagnosis of chronic bronchitis is made on clinical grounds : persistent
productive cough for at least 3 consecutive months in at least 2
consecutive years
TYPES /CLASSIFICATION :1- simple chronic bronchitis : mucoid sputum ,no obstruction of airflow 2- chronic asthmatic hyper-responsive airways with intermittent bronchospasm and wheezing 3- chronic obstructive bronchitis chronic outflow obstruction , usually with evidence of associated emphysema
•GROSS:Mucosal lining of the larger airways is usually hyperemic and swollen by edema fluid It is covered by a layer of mucinous or mucopurulent secretions
The smaller bronchi and bronchioles may also be filled with similar secretions
MICROSCOPIC:Enlargement of the mucus-secreting glands in the trachea and larger bronchi
It is assessed by the ratio of the thickness of the submucosal gland layer to that of the bronchial wall (Reid index;normally 0.4)Inflammatory cells , largely mononuclear -+/- neutrophils.
MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
• Pulmonary hypertension• Cardiac failure• Recurrent infections • Respiratory failure • COPD• Atypical metaplasia and dysplasia of respiratory epithelium
leads to malignancy
