8. Pneumothorax: -Gas or air becomes trapped within the pleural space by a
breach in the lung surface or chest wall.
-As air accumulates within the space, the lung compresses (collapses) the lung and
causes impaired oxygenation or ventilation.
9. Upper Respiratory Infection: common conditions caused by a viral infection of
the respiratory tissue. This leads to inflammation of one or more parts of the upper
respiratory tract (sinuses, nasal mucosa, pharynx, and larynx). Specific manifesta-
tions of URIs are based on the location of infection and include sinusitis, rhinitis,
pharyngitis, and laryngitis.
Common symptoms of URIs include stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, cough,
difficulty swallowing, and hoarseness or loss of voice.
10. Bronchitis: Chronic bronchitis is a long-term respiratory condition that affects
the bronchi and bronchioles (small air passages) of the lungs.
During chronic bronchitis, the inner lining of the airway is significantly inflamed and
excess mucus is produced, blocking airflow. Patients with chronic bronchitis often
experience coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and fatigue.
Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of chronic bronchitis, though exposure
to secondhand smoke and other airborne irritants may contribute to bronchitis
symptoms.
11. Coronavirus: ACE2 (angiotensin converting enzyme 2) receptor sits on the
surface of an airway epithelial cell, one of the cells that lines the airway. It is this
receptor that binds to spike (S) protein on SARS-CoV-2.
12. Pneumonia in Lungs: -Pneumonia is a lung infection characterized by cough-
ing, fatigue, and difficulty breathing.
-Pneumonia is caused by a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection. In adults, bacteria are
the most common cause of pneumonia. In response to the bacterial infection, the
alveoli (tiny air sacs in the lungs) become inflamed and filled with fluid.
-Symptoms of pneumonia range in severity from mild to life-threatening. Patients
may experience coughing with phlegm, difficulty breathing, chest pain, fatigue,
confusion (especially in older patients), fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting.
-Risk factors for developing pneumonia include being under age 2 or over age
