Interstitial lung disease Interstitial lung disease Interstitial lung disease (ILD), or diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD), is a group of lung diseases affecting the interstitium (the tissue and space around the air sacs of the lungs). It concerns alveolar epithelium, pulmonary capillary endothelium, basement membrane, perivascular and perilymphatic tissues. It may occur when an injury to the lungs triggers an abnormal healing response. Ordinarily, the body generates just the right amount of tissue to repair damage. But in interstitial lung disease, the repair process goes awry and the tissue around the air sacs (alveoli) becomes scarred and thickened. This makes it more difficult
Supernumerary body part and two legs. People with this condition often wish to amputate what they see as additional body parts. A phantom limb is the sensation that a missing limb is still attached to the body. A supernumerary phantom limb is the sensation of having an extra limb or body part despite no such limb actually existing.
