Explanation

  • Empyema is the accumulation of pus in the pleural cavity. Also known as pyothorax or purulent pleuritis.

Causes

Traumatic

  • Stab, gunshot
  • Lung resection
  • Oesophageal tear
  • Paracentesis
  • Thoracic liver biopsy

Nontraumatic

  • Thoracic sepsis
    • Pneumonia
    • Tuberculosis
    • Bronchiectasis
    • Lung abscess
    • Mediastinitis 
  • Extra thoracic sepsis

Important Points

  • Pleural effusion is the build-up of excess fluid in the pleural cavity.
  • Emphysema is characterized by air-filled spaces (pneumatosis) in the lung.
  • Pyorrhea is the set of inflammatory conditions that affect the tissues around the teeth.

The following question consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and the sixth sentences are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been jumbled up and labelled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly. S1: A single device can heat fluids without requiring an electrical element. S6: Because there is no electrical element, there is no risk of fire, so the system is suitable for dangerous environments. P: A heat exchanger transfers heat from the central cavity to an air heater, a water heater or an industrial processor. Q: It has a container like the crankcase of a car’s engine, which contains the fluid to be heated. R: Compression and friction at the nozzles heat the fluid so that the temperature in the central -cavity rises steadily. S: A motor and pulley inside the container turn a rotor wheel, which in turn forces the fluid again and again through narrow nozzles into a central cavity. The proper sequence should be
