What is an apical pneumothorax?
Apical generally refers to the the tip of a pyramidal or rounded structure, like the lung or the heart. This means that apical pneumothorax is pneumothorax that is being caused at the tip of the lung. Incase you don't know pneumothorax is a colapsed lung. This is generally from a puncture in the lung from multiple possible causes.

Chronic apical pulmonary fibrosis with multifocal atelectasis -what does this finding mean and should it be treated?
Pulmonary fibrosis is scarring of the lung. Apical means the finding was at the top peak of the lung. Chronic indicates long-standing. Atlectasis means areas of the lung that are not inflating, and multifocal means that it's present in multiple areas. So, to sum up, there is lung standing lung scarring at the peak of the lung with multiple areas that aren't getting air. The finding can be caused by toxic exposures, connective tissue disease, or infectious disease, and any treatment will be based on the underlying cause. The phrase indicates a radiologic finding, not a diagnosis.
What is the arrangement of the pigs lungs?
Pig lungs are divided into seven lobes between two different lungs. In the right lung is larger and divided into apical, cardiac, diaphragmatic and intermediate. The left lung is smaller and does not have an intermediate lobe.
