1 Cystic fibrosis /CF Sinonims:CF/mucoviscidosis Pathology: Inherited disease /CFTR gene on Chromosome 7 transmembrane conductance regulator anion (Cl, HCO3 - ) channal dysfunction impaired chloride transport and enhanced sodium absorption across airway epithelial cells thick, sticky mucus disease of exocrine gland function Mucus-secreting and sweat glands that involves multiple organ systems but chiefly results in chronic respiratory infections, pancreatic enzyme insufficiency, Pulmonary involvement occurs in 90% of patients End-stage lung disease is the principal cause of death

2 CF-symptoms Abdominal symptoms Meconium ileus Intestinal obstruction Failure to thrive (despite adequate appetite) Flatulence or foul-smelling flatus, steatorrhea Jaundice Chr. pancreatitis Respiratory symptoms Cough Recurrent wheezing Recurrent pneumonia Atypical asthma Dyspnea on exertion Chest pain Reproductive infertility

3 CF sweat has an abnormally high salt content The high salt content in perspiration is the basis for the sweat test, Abnormal CFTR inhibits the reabsorption of chloride from sweat into the cells lining the sweat duct. Retention of chloride traps sodium ions on the skin surface leading to characteristic salty sweat

Iron oxide Siderosis Welding Barium sulfate Baritosis Mining

18 Silicosis caused by inhalationof proinflammatory crystalline silicon dioxide (SiO2) /silica that usually presents after decades of exposure as slowly progressing, nodular, fibrosing pneumoconiosis. Currently, silicosis is the most prevalent chronic occupational disease in the world. Both dose and race are important in developing

19 Pathogenesis of silicosis After inhalation, the particles are phagocytosed by macrophages. The phagocytosed silica crystals activate macrophages, leading to the release of inflammatory mediators, particularly IL-1 and IL-18.
