The plasma Hp level rises in disease, like the concentration of fibrinogen and orosomucoid (J8, N5), and this is most likely the result of increased synthesis. The degree of abnormality seems largely to follow the activity of the inflammatory reaction of the disease (infections, tumors, aseptic necrosis). Treatment with cortisol will normalize all three of the above-mentioned plasma proteins. We do not yet know the link between inflammatory reaction and the changed synthesis of Hp and the other plasma proteins. A deeper knowledge of Hp synthesis and the pathophysiology of the inflammatory reaction is necessary for proper utilization in clinical work of the individual Hp values found in diseased subjects.

Horses appear to be more sensitive to the adrenosuppressive effects of aerosolized corticosteroids than human patients. Documentation of systemic absorption (adrenal suppression) of inhaled beclometasone and fluticasone raises concerns that other systemic glucocorticoid effects may occur following aerosol administration of corticosteroids. The administration of adrenosuppressive doses (>1600 p,g/day) of beclometasone dipropionate to asthmatic human patients does not produce the other systemic side-effects of glucocorticoid administration, including a roimd face (Cushingoid facies), polyuria, polydipsia, hyperglycemia, obesity, altered carbohydrate metabolism, osteoporosis, abortion, posterior subcapsular cataract and aseptic necrosis of the...

When these lesions of PMF become larger, irregular areas of aseptic necrosis can occur. These areas present as hypodense areas within the mass (Fig. 6.13) and can cavitate, producing excavated masses, sometimes with air-fluid levels. These excavated masses may be complicated by infections such as tuberculosis or intracavitary aspergilloma. These infections can, in turn, induce severe bronchial hypervascularization with risk of bronchial bleeding. CT is indicated when haemoptysis occurs in coal workers, because it can detect this complication. However, in the case of massive haemoptysis, a bronchial arteriography and embolization may be necessary.
