Chronic and other pulmonary manifestations due to radiation - what does this mean
Chronic and other pulmonary manifestations due to radiation occur when radiation is delivered to the lungs, either through direct radiation or through inhalation of radioactive particles. this radiation can cause scarring of the lung tissue, inflammation, and destruction of the airways, leading to a variety of pulmonary symptoms, including shortness of breath, cough, and wheezing.
What happens during the disease - chronic and other pulmonary manifestations due to radiation
Radiation-induced pulmonary injury is caused by direct damage to the airways and alveoli, resulting in inflammation, fibrosis, and scarring. this can lead to chronic airway obstruction, impaired gas exchange, and pulmonary fibrosis, which can manifest as dyspnea, cough, chest pain, fatigue, and decreased exercise tolerance. additionally, radiation can damage the pulmonary vasculature, leading to pulmonary hypertension and other vascular abnormalities.

Chronic and other pulmonary manifestations due to radiation - Prevention
The best way to prevent chronic and other pulmonary manifestations due to radiation is to limit exposure to radiation as much as possible. this can be done by using protective gear, such as lead aprons, when working with radiation, and avoiding areas with high levels of radiation. additionally, it is important to practice good hygiene and avoid smoking, as this can increase the risk of developing pulmonary issues due to radiation.
