MORPHOMETRIC ALTERATIONS OF SUPERFICIAL AND DEEP ALVEOLAR STRUCTURES IN PNEUMOPATHIES

Аннотация

Pneumopathies are a major cause of respiratory morbidity and mortality worldwide, affecting both superficial and deep alveolar structures that are critical for efficient gas exchange. Morphometric alterations in these alveolar regions, including changes in septal thickness, alveolar surface area, and capillary density, directly influence respiratory function and disease progression. Despite advances in clinical management, detailed quantitative analysis of superficial and deep alveolar structures remains limited, particularly in different patient populations. Investigating these morphometric changes is essential for understanding the pathophysiology of pneumopathies, improving diagnostic precision, and guiding the development of targeted therapeutic interventions. Therefore, this study addresses a significant gap in respiratory research and has substantial clinical and scientific relevance.
