What is the difference between pleural effusion and pulmonary embolism?
A pleural effusion is a build up of fluid between the (visceral and parietal) layers which line the lungs and chest cavity. Whereas....... A pulmonary embolus is a sudden blockage in a lung artery caused by a blood clot that travels to the lung from another part of the body. NB: - Pleural effusion = problem in visceral and parietal layers - Pulmonary embolus = problem in lung artery

Where was no evidence of pleura effusion What does this mean?
No evidence of pleural effusion means that there is no fluid accumulation in the space between the layers of the pleura (lining around the lungs). This can be determined through imaging studies like chest X-rays or ultrasound, which show if there is any excess fluid present in the pleural space.

What is rate of effusion of Argon?
The rate of effusion of argon is determined by its molecular weight and temperature. Argon, being a monoatomic gas, has a higher rate of effusion compared to heavier gases like nitrogen and oxygen at the same temperature. The exact rate of effusion can be calculated using Graham's law of effusion.
Can you give me a sentence using the word effusion?
Effusion means giving off something (like light or smell). The effusion from the mysterious liquid made me feel queasy.
What is the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass?
Graham's law of effusion.
How can one determine the effusion rate of a substance"?
To determine the effusion rate of a substance, one can measure the time it takes for the substance to pass through a small opening or pore. By comparing this time to the effusion rate of a known substance under the same conditions, the effusion rate of the substance in question can be calculated.
Mortality of pleural effusion?
The mortality of pleural effusion depends on various factors such as underlying cause, patient's overall health, and timely treatment. In general, if pleural effusion is treated promptly and effectively, the mortality rate is low. However, severe or untreated cases can lead to complications such as respiratory failure and sepsis, which can increase mortality risk.
