With a mean diameter of around 2700 km and a mass of 214080 Â± 520 x 1017 kg, Triton is the largest of Neptuneâs moons, and the only one large enough to achieve hydrostatic equilibrium (i.e. is spherical in shape).
Some conditions causing restrictive lung disease are: 1  Interstitial lung disease, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. 2  Sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease. 3  Obesity, including obesity hypoventilation syndrome. 4  Scoliosis. 5  Neuromuscular disease, such as muscular dystrophy or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The replacement of normal lung with scar tissue causes irreversible decrease in oxygen diffusion capacity, and the resulting stiffness or decreased compliance makes pulmonary fibrosis a restrictive lung disease. Pulmonary fibrosis is perpetuated by aberrant wound healing, rather than chronic inflammation. It is the main cause of restrictive lung disease that is intrinsic to the lung parenchyma. In contrast, quadriplegia and kyphosis are examples of causes of restrictive lung disease that do ...
