How we can diagnosis a case of pneumothorax?
1. Chest X-ray. 2. Computerized tomography (CT) scans may be needed to provide more-detailed images. 33. Ultrasound imaging also may be used to identify pneumothorax.

1. Smoking. Your risk of lung cancer increases with the number of cigarettes you smoke each day and the number of years you have smoked.

1. Smoking. Your risk of lung cancer increases with the number of cigarettes you smoke each day and the number of years you have smoked. Quitting at any age can significantly lower your risk of developing lung cancer.
2. Exposure to secondhand smoke. Even if you don’t smoke, your risk of lung cancer increases if you’re exposed to secondhand smoke.
3. Previous radiation therapy. If you’ve undergone radiation therapy to the chest for another type of cancer, you may have an increased risk of developing lung cancer.
4. Exposure to radon gas. Radon is produced by the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water that eventually becomes part of the air you breathe. Unsafe levels of radon can accumulate in any building, including homes.
5. Exposure to asbestos and other carcinogens. Workplace exposure to asbestos and other substances is known to cause cancer.
6. Arsenic.
7. Chromium.
8. Nickel.
9. Family history of lung cancer. People with a parent, sibling, or child with lung cancer have an increased risk of the disease.

1. The causes of BPH are incompletely understood.
2. Age is the most important factor 40% of men aged 50 may have evidence of BPH, and this increases further with age.
3. Studies on twins and families of men with BPE have shown a family history is important for more than half of BPE occur under 60 years of age. For men with relatives who require surgery for BPE, the risk for BPE-related surgery was increased four-fold.
4. Black men are more likely than white men to have BPE, whereas Asian men are less likely to have BPE.
5. BPE is associated with heart disease, the use of drugs known as beta-blockers.
6. Lack of physical exercise.
7. Fat appears to be important as it induces inflammation, which in turn causes BPE. BPE is more common in obese men, and certain dietary fats may induce inflammation.
8. Prostatitis, which is inflammation of the prostate, is associated with an enlarged prostate and BPE.
9. Relatively uniquely in the body, prostate tissue reverts to an embryonic state in which it is more sensitive to chemical signals, known as growth factors, in the fluid that bathes the cells. Consequently, the cells grow.

Chronic bronchitis is a progressive condition, meaning it gradually worsens over time. There is no cure, but the prognosis can be significantly improved by managing the condition via medication and lifestyle changes. However, in cases where an individual continues to smoke, where there is a considerable drop in lung function, or where complications occur, the prognosis is generally poor, with patients typically given a life expectancy of five years or under.

You may do one or more of the following tests:
1. A chest X-ray looks for inflammation in your lungs. A chest X-ray is often used to diagnose pneumonia.
2. Blood tests, such as a complete blood count (CBC) see whether your immune system is fighting an infection.
3. Pulse oximetry measures how much oxygen is in your blood. Pneumonia can keep your lungs from getting enough oxygen into your blood. To measure the levels, a small sensor called a pulse oximeter is attached to your finger or ear.
4. A blood gas test may be done if you are very sick. For this test, your provider measures your blood oxygen levels using a blood sample from an artery, usually in your wrist. This is called an arterial blood gas test.
5. A sputum test, using a sample of sputum (spit) or mucus from your cough, may be used to find out what germ is causing your pneumonia.
6. A blood culture test can identify the germ causing your pneumonia and also show whether a bacterial infection has spread to your blood.
7. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test quickly checks your blood or sputum sample to find the DNA of germs that cause pneumonia.
8. A bronchoscopy looks inside your airways. If your treatment is not working well, this procedure may be needed. At the same time, your doctor may also collect samples of your lung tissue and fluid from your lungs to help find the cause of your pneumonia.
9. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan can show how much of your lungs are affected by pneumonia. It can also show whether you have complications such as lung abscesses or pleural disorders. A CT scan shows more detail than a chest X-ray.
10. A pleural fluid culture can be taken using a procedure called thoracentesis, which is when a doctor uses a needle to take a sample of fluid from the pleural space between your lungs and chest wall. The fluid is then tested for bacteria.
