Chest x-ray is often termed white out or white lung because consolidation and coalescing infiltrates pervade the lungs, leaving few recognized air spaces.

Death exists - in a paperweight, in four red and white balls on a billiard table - and we go on living and breathing it into our lungs like fine dust.

In the absence of A1AT, certain digestive enzymes released by white blood cells may go unchecked and cause widespread damage in the lungs and liver.
