Hydrocodone is a strong opiate painkiller with highly addictive properties. Acetaminophen is a much milder non-steroidal pain reliever. Vicodin may contain 5 milligrams of hydrocodone and 325 milligrams of acetaminophen or as much as 10 milligrams of hydrocodone and 660 milligrams of acetaminophen. While hydrocodone is the addictive component of this pill, acetaminophen has resulted in serious liver damage at high dosages.
A: Lung nodules are small overgrown tissues on the lungs. These are usually round or oval in shape and are detected b y x ray. The reason why these may occur may vary from patient to patient. The most common causes include fungal infections, tuberculosis, hamartoma, and sarcoidosis.
That's because benign lung nodules grow slowly, if at all. On the other hand, cancerous nodules, on average, double in size every four months. Your doctor may continue to a check your lung nodule each year for up to five years to ensure that it is benign. Hamartomas are the most common type of benign lung tumor and the third most common cause of solitary pulmonary nodules. 2  These firm marble-like tumors are made up of tissue from the lung's lining as well as tissue such as fat and cartilage.
