Can mersa get into your lungs?
"mersa" is actually - MRSA, or Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureous, a staph bacteria that is drug resistant. While Staph is typically a skin bacteria, it can take up residence and thrive (causing an infection) in other areas of your body, including your lungs. I have worked as an RN in both hospitals and home health and have taken care of people with MRSA cause pnemonia.
What does it mean when the cancer is pressing on the nerve in a lung cancer patent?
Cancer masses can grow to such an extent or be located in an area that makes them particularly likely to press against and impinge upon a nerve. The implications for nerve impingement vary according to the exact nerve the mass is pressing against. For example, a lung cancer might compress the left recurrent laryngeal nerve and cause hoarseness.

No, not under any normal circumstances.
No type of cancer spreads from person to person under normal conditions.

It depends on the scarcity of the item. dimonds are made under ground and then shot to the surface when a volcano erupts. water is every where. now, its the value people hold for the item that counts.
How is lung tissue oxygenated?
When most people learn about circulation in the human body, they usually learn of only the two main types, pulmonic (in which blood goes to the lungs to obtain oxygen and release Carbon Dioxide) and, systemic (in which this oxygenated blood is sent through the aorta and out though the arterial system. This does leave an very important question unanswered indeed. Well, as you may have realised and correctly assumed, the lung parenchyma (basically its structure and tissues) cannot be perfused (receive blood supply) from the pulmonic circulation. It is perfused from the systemic circulation. Specifically, from two branches of the thoracic aorta known as bronchial arteries. The left bronchial artery to the left lung usually arises directly from the thoracic aorta, while the right one can also rise from the thoracic aorta, however, it usually either arises from the left bronchial artery, or from a common trunk off the thoracic aorta with the 3rd posterior intercostal artery. They enter the lung and divides into capillaries supplying its parenchyma. The venous return is a bit more complex. The bronchial veins return some, but not all of the used blood back to the heart via the vena azygos major on the right and the accesory hemiazygos vein on the right. As the bronichial veins does not drain all of the returning blood, it may be interesting to note the some of it gets directed into the pumonary system. and returns to the heart via the oxgenated pulmonary veins. You have asked a important question, that many laypeople have wondered but never really ask. I hope I have answered it in a meaningfull and relatively clear way. Note: a pretty good discussion on this can be found here: http://www.meridianinstitute.com/eamt/files/barber/Bar1CH2.htm
Is the right or left lung is larger?
The right Lung is slightly larger than the left, because the heart takes up some of the space on your left side. So, in order to make room for the heart, the left lung is smaller.

What does cervical fluid look like?
It varies throughout your cycle. Normally, about 7 - 9 days after the first day of your period, it will be whitish and rather sticky. As you move closer to ovulation, it beomes more lotionlike, then watery and then resembles an egg white. When it is the egg white is when you are most fertile. Once that passes, it retuns to sticky shortly there after. You will sometimes see this in your underwear. If not there, you can place two CLEAN fingers inside of your vagina and test it that way too. There are several helpful sites to explain this even more. A very good one is webwom. Good luck!
