#pulmpearl Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is clinically relevant if: 1) thoracic surgery w single lung ventilation (un-ventilated lung bleeds less) 2) atelectasis/PNA/COPD/PNA (minimized V/Q mismatch) 3) high altitude pulmonary edema (may be an exaggerated form of HPV)

#pulmpearl Caplan syndrome = RA + pneumoconiosis related to occupational exposure (first described with coal but also recognized with silica, asbestos), Characterized by nodules on imaging +/- background of reticular changes +/- micronodules that are 2/2 pneumoconiosis

#pulmpearl PPFE on imaging: apical pleural thickening +/- traction bronchiectasis, thickened interlobular septa, +/- honeycombing, on histology: upper lobe subpleural fibrosis and + elastin stains #meded

#pulmpearl Pleural plaques reflect exposure to asbestos but are NOT asbestosis, need to have parenchymal changes (i.e. fibrosis) to call it asbestosis. #meded
