Paint Unfinished Basement Ceiling. We're considering tidying up our unfinished and essentially unused basement by painting the ceiling. We like the look of white, but realize that it would require gallons upon gallons of primer and paint, and also show quite a bit of imperfections.
Pulmonary cachexia is a prevalent, debilitating, and well-recognized feature of COPD associated with increased mortality and loss of peripheral and respiratory muscle function. The exact cause and underlying mechanisms of cachexia in COPD are still poorly understood.
It may be defined as a pulmonary artery systolic pressure greater than 30 mm Hg or a pulmonary artery mean pressure greater than 20 mm Hg. The etiology of primary pulmonary hypertension is unknown. Secondary pulmonary hypertension can be a complication of many pulmonary, cardiac and extrathoracic conditions. Cor pulmonale is enlargement of the right ventricle as a consequence of disorders of the respiratory system. Pulmonary hypertension invariably precedes cor pulmonale.
