x-ray findings characteristic of this condition include peri-hilar shadowing in a "bat-wing" pattern as well as thick, horizontal markings at the periphery called Kerley B-lines.
For one form of this disease, Baumann et. al identified A1 catecholaminergic neurons in the ventral medulla as one of several "trigger zones" causing sympathetic discharge. While it is not an infectious disease, x-ray findings characteristic of this condition include peri-hilar shadowing in a "bat-wing" pattern as well as thick, horizontal markings at the periphery called Kerley B-lines. Re-expansion can cause a rare form of this condition to occur after thoracocentesis, while a rapid increase in left ventricular diastolic pressure causes its (*) "flash" variety. Characterized by dyspnea and pink, frothy sputum, it can be explained by a change in parameters of the Starling relationship. Nifedipine is given as prophylaxis to mountain climbers against the "high altitude" form of this disease, and it occurs when pathologies like congestive heart failure or ARDS cause an increase in hydrostatic pressure leading to capillary leakage. For 10 points, name this condition characterized by a buildup of fluid in the alveoli.
