Are you talking about MRSA? Which would be Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. This is a bacteria that has developed resistance to certain types of antibiotics. It can cause pneumonia among other types of infections depending on where it is spread.

If your talking about the pleural memebrane then it is situated between the lungs and ribs.....

Pulmonary fibrosis is the development of fiberous lung tissue as a result of a lung disease.  It is more apt to happen with chronic lung diseases.  So....the best thing to do is not smoke, wear a mask if you work in a lung hostile environment, eat healthy and exercise daily.  Also, if you have a respiratory illness, get treated for it early.  The quicker you get through a resp illness, the less damage done to your lungs.  This damage can accumulate over the years.

For a sensible amount of time, this would actually help your condition. This will help the mucus that is probably still in the bases of your lungs, to thin out so that it can be carried up and out.

See a doctor.  Don't take chances with your lungs.  It could be as simple as needing an antibiotic but you may do permanent damage if untreated.  Take care.

It means that there is a spot in the lungs. That report by itself does NOT tell the cause of the spot. Often not cancerous and can be due to infection or scar tissue. Further testing usually needed to determine if cancer or not.

What is Pleurisy?\n\nPleurisy is an inflammation of the pleura. There are two pleurae, one around each lung. The pleura is a two-ply membrane that both encloses the lung and lines the chest cavity. \n\nThis two-layer protective wrapping fits closely around the lung, with, normally, no actual space between the inner and outer layers. The layers are joined at the edges, so that the pleura might be compared to a closed balloon, completely empty of air and wrapped tightly around the outside of each of the lungs. \n\nOnly a thin Iubricating layer of fluid is between the inner pleural lining and the outer one. Ordinarily, the smooth linings and lubricating fluid serve to allow the lung free movement within the chest for normal breathing. The almost non-existent space occupied by the lubricant can develop into what is called a pleural cavity if its fluid contents increase.

You have small, fine hairs in your nose and lungs as a filtration system to keep anything unhealthy from getting in. Unfortunately, the hairs, to do their job, are very moist and sticky, like fly paper. Eventually, there is a build up of waste, and you sneeze (nose) or cough (lungs) to clear it out. Then you grow new hairs and start again.\nThis is why smokers are constantly coughing. And why they get lung cancer when they've overloaded their lungs filtering system.

DUE TO CONSTICTION OF BRONCHIOLES,LESS OXYGEN IS SUPPLIED TO BODY\nBUT IT NEEDS MORE SUPPLY SO IT MIGHT LEAD TO BRONCHSPASM

Ok, here's the deal...\n\nWhen you smoke, the nicotin and another substances that tobacco contains mingle with the chemistry of your lung cells, changing their functions and live processes.\n\nWhen you smoke frequently, the chemistry in your cells is so tampered with, that they start multiplying like mad, obstructing the healthy lung cells.\n\nThat´s lung cancer.\n\nOh, and when you smoke, the lung cells also start to die, beyond repair, reducing your capcity of breathe, wich also reduces your lifespan. I know that for a fact that my granny died of that :-((.

The lungs excrete carbon dioxide (a waste product from metabolism)

Fluid in he lungs can be a late complication of severe breast cancer. It is prevented by taking the best care of yourself that you can. Not smoking and going by what your Doctor recommends. It is not a condition that I would worry about unless your Doctor tells you that you are at risk of it. If he tells you so he will advise you of what the best action is to take.

Try this link.\n\nhttp://www-medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/LUNGHTML/LUNG068.html\n\nThis is how your lungs will look like when it is all too late to quit smoking. Feel free to browse around. There are plenty of cancer images of lung, liver, kidney, colon, and majority of these cancers are at least in part caused by smoking. However, you need a certain degree of knowledge in anatomy and pathology to understand the contents.\n\nTry this link also. \nhttp://www.morehead.org/wellconnected/000041_1.htm\nThis is not as technical as the previous link but it has all the info you need for a good project/report/presentation. They dont have real photos but they have nice drawings.

Q. What is Emphysema?\nFAQ\n\nFrom Stacey Lloyd,\nYour Guide to Lung Diseases.\n\nA.\n\nEmphysema is a lung disease in which the walls of the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs fracture or burst. As these alveoli break, the remaining alveoli become enlarged to make up for the loss. This results in a fewer number of alveoli, with many enlarged. \nWhen alveoli are enlarged, they loose their elasticity. A loss of elasticity in the alveoli results in the inability to eliminate air from the lungs. Therefore, patients must use force (energy) to expel this air. \n\nFurthermore, the loss of elasticity in the lungs affects the smaller bronchial tubes. To push air out of the bronchial tubes, a higher pressure must be developed inside the chest. \n\nThis higher pressure tends to collapse the smaller bronchial tubes, making it even more difficult to empty air from the alveoli. \nCoughing becomes very difficult and ineffective in expelling mucus, leaving the lungs more susceptible to lung infections, such as pneumonia. \n\n( http://lungdiseases.about.com/od/emphysema/f/emphysema_expl.htm )\n\nWhat causes emphysema?\nEmphysema can be caused by one or a combination of these things:\n\nCigarette smoking: Most cases of emphsyema are caused by cigarette smoking. Cigarette smoke reaches deep into the lungs and causes permanent damage. If you have emphysema from cigarettes, the best way to stop your lung damage is to quit smoking as soon as possible. It's never too late to quit smoking. \nAlpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency: Some people have emphsyema because of a rare genetic disorder called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency. People with Alpha-1 are missing an enzyme that protects their lungs. Some people with Alpha-1 deficiency get emphysema without ever having smoked. Other people get emphsyema from the combination of smoking and having Alpha-1 deficiency. \nAir pollution: There is some evidence that air pollution can contribute to people getting emphysema, especially if the person also smokes.
