A chylothorax is a type of pleural effusion. It results from lymph formed in the digestive system called chyle accumulating in the pleural cavity due to either disruption or obstruction of the thoracic duct. In people on a normal diet, this effusion can be identified by its turbid, milky white appearance, since chyle contains high levels of triglycerides. It is important to distinguish chylothorax from pseudochylothorax, which has a similar appearance, but is caused by more chronic inflammatory
Mt. Baker erupted in 1843. This eruption resulted in the deaths of many fish in the Baker River, a large forest fire, and the dropping of volcanic ash. The release of steam occurred at Mt. Baker in 1975-6, but no eruption followed this event.ost of the summit of the volcano is covered by glaciers. Because of this, the Indians gave Mt. Baker a name meaning White Steep Mountain.. Easton Glacier near the summit of Mt. Baker.
In fact, the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull (which means 'island mountain glacier') is small compared to other recent eruptions such as Pinatubo and Mount St Helens, says Professor Ray Cas from Melbourne's Monash University.he largest eruptions to date have a VEI of 8. At 7 on the VEI scale, the eruption of the Tambora volcano in Indonesia in 1815 is probably the largest historic eruption that we know of, says Cas. Mount Pinatubo, on the Philippine island of Luzon erupted in 1991, killing hundreds.
