Bronchial Discharge
- Discharge/excessive flow of mucus from bronchi is known as bronchorrhea
- Bronchoscopy is an X-ray of the bronchus
- Bronchography is the technique of making an X-ray of the bronchi
- A bronchoscope is an instrument used to visually examine the bronchi
Ischemic Episodes
- Ischemic episodes can be caused by vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels), thrombosis (clots), embolism (fat, air or bacterial clumps) or injury to a vessel
- Many people experience ischemic episodes without realizing it
Leukocytosis
- Leukocytosis may occur when the immune system overreacts
- Leukocytosis can also be caused by bone marrow problems where an excess of white blood cells are produced
- Some medications can also cause leukocytosis
Heart Failure
- Heart failure is a failure of the ventricle to efficiently eject blood
- This results in an overload of blood volume, chamber dilatation, and elevated intracardial pressure
Anemia
- Anemia is a medical condition where the number of erythrocytes or the amount of hemoglobin in the circulating blood is reduced
