- •Concept ID:
- C0149651
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
Broadening of the soft tissues (non-edematous swelling of soft tissues) of the digital tips in all dimensions associated with an increased longitudinal and lateral curvature of the nails.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension- MedGen UID:
- 425404
- •Concept ID:
- C2973725
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Pulmonary hypertension is defined mean pulmonary artery pressure of 25mmHg or more and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 15mmHg or less when measured by right heart catheterisation at rest and in a supine position.
Misalignment of the pulmonary veins- MedGen UID:
- 1739709
- •Concept ID:
- C5421670
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
The term is commonly used to describe a putative abnormal location of pulmonary vein branches adjacent to pulmonary arteries within the same adventitial sheath. However, evidence has been provided that the vessels in question are not pulmonary veins, however represent dilated bronchial veins.
Failure to thrive- MedGen UID:
- 746019
- •Concept ID:
- C2315100
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Failure to thrive (FTT) refers to a child whose physical growth is substantially below the norm.
Apnea- MedGen UID:
- 2009
- •Concept ID:
- C0003578
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Lack of breathing with no movement of the respiratory muscles and no exchange of air in the lungs. This term refers to a disposition to have recurrent episodes of apnea rather than to a single event.
Dyspnea- MedGen UID:
- 3938
- •Concept ID:
- C0013404
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Difficult or labored breathing. Dyspnea is a subjective feeling only the patient can rate, e.g., on a Borg scale.
Tachypnea- MedGen UID:
- 66669
- •Concept ID:
- C0231835
- •
- Finding
Very rapid breathing.
Desquamative interstitial pneumonia- MedGen UID:

- Disease or Syndrome
Interstitial lung disease (ILD), or pneumonitis, is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized pathologically by expansion of the interstitial compartment of the lung by inflammatory cells. Fibrosis occurs in many cases (Visscher and Myers, 2006). See also interstitial lung disease-1 (ILD1; 619611).
Desquamative interstitial pneumonitis (DIP) was originally described as a pathologic entity by Liebow et al. (1965). Lung biopsy shows diffuse and uniform filling of alveoli by clusters of cells which Liebow et al. (1965) speculated to be 'desquamated pneumocytes.' Since then, these cells have been shown primarily to be pigmented alveolar macrophages. Other features include thickened alveolar septa with an infiltrate of inflammatory cells and plump, cuboidal type II pneumocytes. Mild collagen deposition without architectural distortion or honeycombing may be present. Different forms of ILD represent pathologic classifications based on histologic patterns rather than clinical diagnoses and may occur in a variety of clinical contexts (Visscher and Myers, 2006).
Although DIP occurs most often as a sporadic disorder in adults during the third to fifth decade of life and is highly associated with smoking (Carrington et al., 1978), reports of a familial form with onset in infancy and early death suggest a genetic basis (Sharief et al., 1994).
Cases of DIP reported in infants are often more severe and refractory to treatment than those reported in adults (Nogee et al., 2001).
Respiratory failure- MedGen UID:
- 257837
- •Concept ID:
- C1145670
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A severe form of respiratory insufficiency characterized by inadequate gas exchange such that the levels of oxygen or carbon dioxide cannot be maintained within normal limits.
Neonatal respiratory distress- MedGen UID:
- 924182
- •Concept ID:
- C4281993
- •
- Finding
Respiratory difficulty as newborn.
Absent bronchoalveolar dimeric surfactant-protein B- MedGen UID:
- 1714465
- •Concept ID:
- C5397973
- •
- Finding
Significantly decreased level or failed detection of surfactant protein B in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid.
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis- MedGen UID:
- 1763046
- •Concept ID:
- C5400698
- •
- Finding
Accumulation of amorphous PAS-positive material in the space between alveolar macrophages, sometimes as condensed form (oval bodies) are typically found in alveolar proteinosis.
Ground-glass opacification- MedGen UID:
- 1779663
- •Concept ID:
- C5539411
- •
- Finding
On chest radiographs, ground-glass opacity appears as an area of hazy increased lung opacity, usually extensive, within which margins of pulmonary vessels may be indistinct. On CT scans, it appears as hazy increased opacity of lung, with preservation of bronchial and vascular margins. It is caused by partial filling of airspaces, interstitial thickening (due to fluid, cells, and/or fibrosis), partial collapse of alveoli, increased capillary blood volume, or a combination of these, the common factor being the partial displacement of air. Ground-glass opacity is less opaque than consolidation, in which bronchovascular margins are obscured.
Interlobular septal thickening- MedGen UID:
- 1779791
- •Concept ID:
- C5539418
- •
- Finding
Presence of thickening of the interlobular septa of the lungs as seen on a CT scan.
