Pleura

Also see: alveoli, goblet cells and bronchial surface mucosa.

Whether the left or right side of the pleura is involved depends on biological laterality.

Theme

Attack against the lungs or chest, either real (knife attack or surgery) or metaphorical (a diagnosis: you have lung cancer).

CA phase

Cell increase  in the pleura. The cell increase can be flat growing: the entire chest is attacked or cauliflower-like: a localized attack. If the latter is the case, it is interpreted as a metastasis. This occurs mainly in the healing phase.

Biological purpose

Strengthening of the pleura to better withstand the attack.

Symptoms

None

PCL phase

Functional normalization. Removal of cells by TB bacteria, if present.

Symptoms

Pleuritis. Fatigue, night sweats, pain in chest, possibly temperature elevation/fever.  Fluid around the lungs due to healing swelling, hardly noticed without the syndrome.

With the syndrome: decreased lung function, pulmonary insufficiency, breathing difficulties. This diagnosis often causes a hanging healing: "my lungs are no good," attack against the lungs.

The shortness of breath often cause follow-up conflicts, like : scare-fright, territorial fear, death-fright.
Knowledge of the biological laws may reduce these fears, but in practice breathing difficulties are always pretty scary.

EC

Strong pains, chills and cold sweats.

There may be calcium deposits visible at the end of the PCL-B, see old mesoderm.
