Dr. Kudrith is definitely the man! I had the pleasure of listening to him during my Intro to clinicals semester and I think half the girls in the class were in love with him or atleast in love with his jokes. I forgot all his stuff, so i need to go listen to him on the Vids. Keep up the good work, Paheli. Have a fruitful Sunday! smiling face

Spontaneous pneumothorax: rupture of apical subpleural blebs. Charecterised by hyperresonance and absence of breath sounds on affected side. * Seen more commonly in tall thin men ~20yrs old, thought to be due to more -ve intrapleural pressure.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stages of Sarcoidosis: on CXR

Primary TB inf: seen in lower lung fields. Occurs as Ghon focus i.e. calcified granuloma OR Ghon complex i.e. Ghon focus plus hilar LNpathy

Reactivation of primary inf: seen in upper lobes, as M. tb is an obligate aerobe. it goes where there is best ventilation

Healing of Ghon focus can form cavity. This is what gets infected with Asp. flavus i.e. 'fungus balls'
