Atelectasis development of atelectasis include: type of surgery (thoracic, cardiopulmonary surgeries), use of muscle relaxation, obesity, high oxygen, the lower lung segments. Factors not associated with the development of atelectasis include: age, presence of COPD or asthma, and type of anesthetic. In the early 1950s, in UK aviation medicine, the condition "acceleration atelectasis" was given the name "Hunter Lung" due to its prevalence in pilots of the transonic fighter jet the Hawker Hunter, which used a 100% oxygen schedule. Clinically significant atelectasis is generally visible on chest X-ray; findings can include lung opacification and/or loss of lung volume. Post-surgical atelectasis will
Coenurosis in humans the oncospheres develop into cystic like larvae balls called coenuri. The cycle perpetuates when a canid (definitive host) ingests the tissue of an infected intermediate host. When this happens, the maturing larvae reside in the small intestine of the definitive host until they mature into adult worms and begin producing eggs (which will eventually be passed through feces into the environment once again). Because this disease is so rare in humans, accurate diagnostic techniques have not been developed. CT scans and MRI’s are useful for detecting fluid filled cysts in all areas of the body, and some serological and microscopic
