  2. Hypertropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertropia

    Hypertropia is a condition of misalignment of the eyes ( strabismus ), whereby the visual axis of one eye is higher than the fellow fixating eye. Hypotropia is the similar condition, focus being on the eye with the visual axis lower than the fellow fixating eye. Dissociated vertical deviation is a special type of hypertropia leading to slow ...

  3. Prism cover test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_Cover_Test

    In the first example, it has been noted that when conducting the PCT, this patient wore correction, was fixing left and has a twelve prism dioptre exotropia in the distance. At near they have a larger exotropic deviation measuring 18 prism dioptres. They also have a right hypertropia of six prism dioptres. This means that when the PCT was ...

  4. Neuroendocrine hyperplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroendocrine_hyperplasia

    Neuroendocrine hyperplasia is rare and poorly understood lung condition which is characterized by an abnormal growth of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells in the lungs. It is a non-progressive disease of the interstitial tissues of the lungs. Prior to the findings of the hyperplasia of neuroendocrine cells it was known as tachypnea of infancy, as ...

  5. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiopathic_pulmonary_fibrosis

    Life expectancy ~ 4 years [1] Frequency. 12 per 100,000 people per year [4] Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ( IPF ), or (formerly [5]) fibrosing alveolitis, is a rare, progressive illness of the respiratory system, characterized by the thickening and stiffening of lung tissue, associated with the formation of scar tissue.

  6. Restrictive lung disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictive_lung_disease

    Pulmonology. Restrictive lung diseases are a category of extrapulmonary, pleural, or parenchymal respiratory diseases that restrict lung expansion, [2] resulting in a decreased lung volume, an increased work of breathing, and inadequate ventilation and/or oxygenation. Pulmonary function test demonstrates a decrease in the forced vital capacity.

  7. Limited-stage small cell lung carcinoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-stage_small_cell...

    Unlike extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, limited-stage small cell lung cancer is potentially curable. In limited small cell lung cancer, the median overall survival time is approximately 12–16 months, with five year survival rate of approximately 26% and long-term survival rate of approximately 4–5%.

  8. Strabismus surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strabismus_surgery

    Strabismus surgery is a one-day procedure that is usually performed under general anesthesia most commonly by either a neuro- or pediatric ophthalmologist. [1] The patient spends only a few hours in the hospital with minimal preoperative preparation. After surgery, the patient should expect soreness and redness but is generally free to return home.

  9. Lung compliance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_compliance

    Lung compliance. Lung compliance, or pulmonary compliance, is a measure of the lung 's ability to stretch and expand (distensibility of elastic tissue). In clinical practice it is separated into two different measurements, static compliance and dynamic compliance. Static lung compliance is the change in volume for any given applied pressure. [1]

  10. Mustard procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustard_procedure

    The Mustard procedure improved an 80% mortality rate in the first year of life to an 80% survival at age 20. Long-term follow-up studies now extend to more than 40 years post-operation and there are numerous patients thriving in their 50s.

  11. Lung allocation score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_allocation_score

    Higher lung allocation scores indicate the patient is more likely to benefit from a lung transplant. The post-transplant survival measure is one-year survival after transplantation of the lungs. Factors used to predict it include FVC, ventilator use, age, creatinine, NYHA class and diagnosis.
