Our Lady of Guadalupe, Juan Diego, and the tilma have been investigated through film several times in recent history. One of the most notable and thorough filmic investigations was done by director Tim Watkins in the 2013 film The Blood & The Rose.
Atelectasis is a medical condition characterized by the partial or full collapse of a lung, impairing the patient's ability to breathe. Left untreated, atelectasis can be fatal, as oxygen is a vital requirement for a healthy body.
Atelectasis can result from an obstruction (blockage) of the airways that affects tiny air scas called alveoli. Alveoli are very thin-walled and contain a rich blood supply. They are important for lung function, since their purpose is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
