A bleb is due to the rupture of the wall of the alveolus, allowing air to escape into the alveolar layer of the pleura.

With a bulla, there is distention of the alveoli with atrophy, followed by rupture and the formation of an unusually large air filled cavity.

Blebs and bullae can be single, multiple, small or distended enough to occupy an entire hemithorax. Frequently bilateral and usually associated with a generalized pulmonary emphysema.

Note: The majority of emphysematous blebs are caused by cigarette smoking.

What are reads in sequencing and how do they contribute to the analysis of genetic information?

Reads in sequencing refer to the short segments of DNA that are sequenced during the process. These reads are then aligned and assembled to reconstruct the original genetic information. By analyzing these reads, scientists can determine the sequence of nucleotides in a DNA sample, which is crucial for understanding genetic information, identifying mutations, and studying genetic variations.

In which direction does RNA polymerase read a DNA strand?

The correct answer is: RNA is synthesized by RNA polymerase that reads one strand of DNA. RNA polymerase reads DNA 3' to 5'. When RNA is made, it is made 5' to 3'. Most polymerases have the 3' to 5' "reading" activity. The created RNA strand is identical to the coding strand of DNA, which is also in the orientation of 5' to 3'.

What is a diagnosis method?

A diagnosis method diagnoses an electronic apparatus that is operable with a battery pack having a memory which stores information. The diagnosis method reads information from the battery pack, and sets the electronic apparatus to a diagnosis mode when the read information indicates the diagnosis mode.


What does exclusion of pancreatic cancer mean?

When making a diagnosis in medicine, physicians often first make a list of possible conditions before deciding upon a final diagnosis. This list of possibilities is called a differential diagnosis. As the physician records a history of a patient, performs a physical exam, and reads laboratory tests, items can be added or removed from the differential diagnosis. When tests reveal sufficient evidence against a particular disease or condition, that condition can be removed, or excluded, from the differential diagnosis. So exclusion of pancreatic cancer means that tests and questions have been asked that have led to the conclusion that pancreatic cancer is no longer considered as a likely diagnosis.

What is the difference between diagnosis and prognosis?

''Diagnosis is the identification, by process of elimination, of the nature of anything. What is wrong with the patient. For example. You can have a diagnosis of a broken leg after the doctor reads your xrays for a foot injury. Or you have been diagnosed with pneumonia after you have had a cold for days.Prognosis is a medical term denoting the doctor's prediction of how a patient will progress, and whether there is a chance of recovery. This word is often used in medical reports dictating a doctor's view on a case. What will be the outcome of the patients recovery.Daddy''
