Atelectasis is the partial collapse or closure of a lung resulting in reduced or absent 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.
The most common location of dry socket: in the socket of an extracted mandibular third molar (wisdom tooth). Since alveolar osteitis is not primarily an infection, there is not usually any pyrexia (fever) or cervical lymphadenitis (swollen glands in the neck), and only minimal edema (swelling) and erythema (redness) is present in the soft tissues surrounding the socket.
Alveoli are the functional units of the lungs. Alveolar lung diseases are classified as processes that affect these units that ultimately lead to issues with ventilation. There are a number of different causes of insult to the alveoli including build up of fluid, hemorrhage, infection, malignancy and build up of protein and mineral deposits.

We'll gain an hour. When the clock reads 1:59 a.m., it will not turn to 2 a.m., but will become 1 a.m. again. In other words, the hour of 1-2 a.m. will happen twice, giving an extra hour of time ...
Right side depicts what occurs after injury to the alveolus during the acute/exudative phase. Once the initial insult has damaged the alveoli and begun the process of DAD, the condition will typically progress in three phases: exudative, proliferative, and fibrotic. [6] Below are the description of the phases, paraphrased from Sweeney et al ...

As the pulmonary venous pressure rises, these pressures overwhelm the barriers and fluid enters the alveoli when the pressure is above 25 mmHg. [14] Depending on whether the cause is acute or chronic determines how fast pulmonary edema develops and the severity of symptoms. [12] Some of the common causes of cardiogenic pulmonary edema include:
