at 1:55-how can u say that isn't pulmonary edema?

[hammadshams]

@bths87 pulmonary edema starts as an interstitial process when pulmonary veins can't cope with the pressure build up usually in left artrium or ventricle. You will see initially see increased interstitial markings and then alveolar infiltration of plasma fluid. I have uploaded a video on pulmonary edema. Pulmonary edema can lead to pleural effusion later. There are no Kerly B or A lines in these images.

Been going threw this since May of 2010 and its Jan 2011 now and I still have Pneumonia and now 2 tumors in my right lung and in pain all the time and hard to breath..In and out of hospital alot.. had drain tubes, alot of fluid in right lung i felt like i was drowning and it hurts to move.. Antibiotics help a little but comes back and I been on all kinds of Antibiotics..most times no fever and had over a 103 fever once when spread to other lung...going for another cat scan next week

Hey! I had a small pleural effusion on the right lung, it was small, but it delay like 4 weeks in order to absorb the fluid, and at the same time i had an spontaneous pneumothorax . It's not nice because you feel that something is "moving" inside.

What are exactly the most common causes of this disease?

Thanks in advance for your answer.
