[Comparative pathomorphological characteristics of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis].

The paper presents an X-ray morphological differential diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (FHP). It describes the etiology, pathogenesis, radiological signs, and pathoanatomy of IPF and FHP. For differential diagnosis, radiological and morphological signs were studied in 105 patients with IPF and in 111 patients with FHP.

[Eosinophilic inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease that combines various clinical manifestations and pathophysiological mechanisms. It underlies the separation of patients with COPD by phenotypes, endotypes and a personalized therapy of this disease. The implementation of this approach is possible only with the use of appropriate biomarkers.
