Abnormal collection of fluid in the pleural cavity
What are the types of pleural effusion?
Transudative
Exudative
Hemothorax
Empyema
Clothorax
Whats transudative pleural effusion?
Caused by cardiovascular disease
High pulmonary capillary pressure
Fluid leaking to pleural space
Fluid leaks due to increase of pressure
What’s exudative pleural effusion?
Caused by infection, inflammation, or malignancy of pleura
Leads to fluid, protein, and cells in pleural space
What’s hemothorax (pleural effusion)?
Caused by traumatic injury, surgery, or rupture
Blood accumulates in pleural space
What’s empyema? (pleural effusion)
Caused by pulmonary infections such as pneumonia
Pus that’s in pleural space
What’s clothorax?
Has lymph and fat droplets which can be caused by injury
Chyle accumulates in pleural space
What is pulmonary edema?
Excess water in the lungz
What can cause pulmonary edema?
Left sided heart failure
Pulmonary Capillary injury
Obstruction of lymphatic system by tumors, lung fibrosis, or surgery
What are some symptoms of pulmonary edema?
Dyspnea
Hypoxemia
Increased work of breathing
Inspiratory crackles (rales)
Dullness when percussing
Pink and frothy sputum
What is ashtma and what does it cause?

What are the chromosome aberrations?
Polypoid
Aneuploidy
Sex Chromosome Aneuploidy
What is Polypoid Abberation?
When the cell has more than the diploid number
AKA more than 2 complete sets of chromosomes
Triploid: Zygote having 3 copies of chromosomes (69 total) usually results in still birth
Tetraploidy: Has 4 copies of chromosomes (92)
