83. CNN - Yeltsin 'satisfactory,' Being Treated For Pneumonia - Jan. 9, 1997 CNN.com http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9701/09/yeltsin/

Yeltsin 'satisfactory,' being treated for pneumonia January 9, 1997 Web posted at: 9:00 a.m. EST (1400 GMT) MOSCOW (CNN) Doctors treating Boris Yeltsin for pneumonia reported Thursday the Russian president is in "satisfactory condition," according to Dr. Renat Akchurin, the heart surgeon who performed Yeltsin's quintuple bypass operation two months ago. Akchurin said he's been told Yeltsin's illness which led to hospitalization on Wednesday is unrelated to the heart surgery. The Kremlin, hoping to reduce public concern over this latest setback, issued a short statement Thursday saying Yeltsin, 65, had a normal temperature and was being treated with antibiotics. The Kremlin said Yeltsin had discussed affairs of state by telephone with Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, who has left on a scheduled vacation "near Moscow" but was keeping a close eye on developments.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Pneumonia Definition Pneumonia is an infection of the lung, and can be caused by nearly any class of organism known to cause human infections. These includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. In the United States, pneumonia is the sixth most common disease leading to death . It is also the most common fatal infection acquired by already hospitalized patients. In developing countries, pneumonia ties with diarrhea as the most common cause of death. Description Anatomy of the lung To better understand pneumonia, it is important to understand the basic anatomic features of the respiratory system. The human respiratory system begins at the nose and mouth, where air is breathed in (inspired) and out (expired). The air tube extending from the nose is called the nasopharynx. The tube carrying air breathed in through the mouth is called the oropharynx. The nasopharynx and the oropharynx merge into the larynx. The oropharynx also carries swallowed substances, including food, water, and salivary secretion which must pass into the esophagus and then the stomach. The larynx is protected by a trap door called the epiglottis. The epiglottis prevents substances which have been swallowed, as well as substances which have been regurgitated (thrown up), from heading down into the larynx and toward the lungs. A useful method of picturing the respiratory system is to imagine an upside-down tree. The larynx flows into the trachea, which is the tree trunk, and thus the broadest part of the respiratory tree. The trachea divides into two tree limbs, the right and left bronchi. Each one of these branches off into multiple smaller bronchi, which course through the tissue of the lung. Each bronchus divides into tubes of smaller and smaller diameter, finally ending in the terminal bronchioles. The air sacs of the lung, in which oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange actually takes place, are clustered at the ends of the bronchioles like the leaves of a tree. They are called alveoli.

It usually occurs when the body is weakened in some way, such as illness, malnutrition, old age, or impaired immunity, and the bacteria are able to work their way into the lungs. Bacterial pneumonia can affect all ages, but those at greater risk include the following:

Patient Notes Recognizing pneumonia VOL 103 / NO 4 / APRIL 1999 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE Pneumonia is an infection or inflammation of the smallest air passages in the lungs. Infection can be caused by any of dozens of bacteria, viruses, and fungal organisms. Inflammation can result from inhaling dust, chemicals, food, or vomit. Pneumonia can be a very dangerous disease if it is not recognized and treated early. When you have pneumonia, the tiny air sacs in your lungs (alveoli) fill with pus and other liquid. Oxygen then can't reach your blood. If your blood contains too little oxygen, your body's cells can't work properly and you become ill. There are several different kinds of pneumonia, but bacterial, viral, and a less typical type called mycoplasmal pneumonia are the most common. The viruses and bacteria that cause pneumonia are contagious and are usually found in fluid from the mouth or nose of an infected person. Illness can spread through exposure to coughs and sneezes, shared drinking glasses and eating utensils, and used tissues or handkerchiefs. Bacterial pneumonia This is the most serious type of pneumonia and can attack anyonefrom infants to the very old. People with respiratory disease and weakened immune systems are at greatest risk.

search ABC of health health news healthy living medicines ... ABC of health Pneumonia What is pneumonia? Pneumonia is infection of the lungs. The infection is in the lung tissue and the tiny air sacs in the lungs where the blood receives oxygen from air that is breathed in. It is extremely common in the UK and can range from a mild illness to a fatal one, especially if the person is already sick or in hospital. What causes pneumonia and who is at risk? The most common cause of pneumonia in people aged five to 35 years is mycoplasma. In older adults, the most common causes are bacteria (eg pneumococci), which are also a common cause in young infants. The very young and very old are more susceptible to pneumonia, as are any people whose immune systems are suppressed, such as in AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) or during chemotherapy (cancer-killing drug treatment). Alcoholism, smoking, heart failure, diabetes and lung diseases, such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema, are also risk factors for the development of pneumonia. If people have problems coughing up mucus from the lungs, such as after major chest or abdominal surgery, they are at risk from pneumonia. What are the common symptoms and complications of pneumonia?

What is bacterial pneumonia? An infection of the lungs that involves the small air sacs or alveoli and the tissues around them is known as pneumonia. Over two million people are known to develop this infection each year with between 40,000 to 70,000 pneumonia related deaths per year. Recent studies have shown there are an increasing number of bacteria developing which cause pneumonia that are antibiotic resistant making this the sixth most common cause of death over all. The term pneumonia covers a variety of illness with each being caused by a different microscopic organism. In most cases the organisms are inhaled through the lungs but they can also be carried to the lungs in the blood stream or migrate from other infections close to the lungs. bodyOffer(17662) Certain factors make some people more susceptible to pneumonia such as smoking, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure and alcoholism. Also at risk are infants, the elderly and people with drug suppressed immune systems such as cancer patients or organ transplant patients, those who are bedridden, paralyzed or unconscious and anyone who has an impaired immune system such as those with AIDS. The symptoms of pneumonia in most cases include a shortness of breath, fever, chills, a cough that will produce a yellow green phlegm and sometimes blood and a chest pain that is usually more painful when inhaling. The chest pain in many cases is caused by what is known as pleurisy which is an inflammation of the membrane that lines the lungs and chest cavity. There can also be complications of fluid around the lungs which is known as pleural effusion, empyema which is pus in the pleural cavity and occasionally an abscess in the lungs.

Respiratory Pneumonia Pneumonia refers to infection of the lungs. Pneumonia What is pneumonia? Pneumonia refers to infection of the lungs. Fluid accumulates in infected air sacs of the lung (the alveoli). Fluid accumulation impairs exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the lungs and the blood, resulting in insufficient oxygenation of the blood. Healthy people with normal lungs generally recover from pneumonia without difficulty. Pneumonia can be fatal, however, particularly in the: Very Young Very Old Chronically Ill What causes pneumonia?
