    Victorian women presumably believed "ladies don't spit," and consequently might have been predisposed to develop lung infection. Shortly after the Lady Windermere syndrome was proposed, a librarian wrote a letter to the editor of Chest [ 27 ] challenging the use of Lady Windermere as the eponymous ancestor of the proposed syndrome.

  3. Pulmonary contusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_contusion

    Contusion involves hemorrhage in the alveoli (tiny air-filled sacs responsible for absorbing oxygen), but a hematoma is a discrete clot of blood not interspersed with lung tissue. [4] A collapsed lung can result when the pleural cavity (the space outside the lung) accumulates blood or air (pneumothorax) or both (hemopneumothorax). These ...

    lung injury of acute onset, within 1 week of an apparent clinical insult and with the progression of respiratory symptoms; bilateral opacities on chest imaging (chest radiograph or CT) not explained by other lung pathology (e.g. effusion, lobar/lung collapse, or nodules) respiratory failure not explained by heart failure or volume overload ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atelectasis

    Atelectasis is the partial collapse or closure of a lung resulting in reduced or absence in gas exchange. It is usually unilateral, affecting part or all of one lung. [2] It is a condition where the alveoli are deflated down to little or no volume, as distinct from pulmonary consolidation, in which they are filled with liquid.

  8. Pleurisy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleurisy

    Pneumothorax, or buildup of air in the pleural space, with a collapsed or partially collapsed lung. Sometimes air comes in through the needle or the needle makes a hole in the lung. Usually, a hole seals itself—but sometimes air builds up around the lung and makes it collapse. A chest tube removes the air and lets the lung expand again.
