Hydrocodone is a strong opiate painkiller with highly addictive properties. Acetaminophen is a much milder non-steroidal pain reliever. Vicodin may contain 5 milligrams of hydrocodone and 325 milligrams of acetaminophen or as much as 10 milligrams of hydrocodone and 660 milligrams of acetaminophen. While hydrocodone is the addictive component of this pill, acetaminophen has resulted in serious liver damage at high dosages.
A: Lung nodules are small overgrown tissues on the lungs. These are usually round or oval in shape and are detected b y x ray. The reason why these may occur may vary from patient to patient. The most common causes include fungal infections, tuberculosis, hamartoma, and sarcoidosis.
Dr. David Midthun of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the Mayo Clinic states that noncancerous lung nodules commonly occur due to a prior fungal infection, a bacterial infection, a mycobacterial infection or a benign tumor. A solitary lung nodule sometimes indicates an early cancer.
