Abstract
We hypothesized TUS would reduce failure to access the pleural space and enable detection of thick fibrous adhesions.
Thirty patients underwent single port MT consecutively for investigation of pleural exudates without pre-MT TUS over a 6-month period. Over the following 6 months, 30 consecutive pat...

Abstract
Catamenial pneumothorax accounts for approximately one third of cases of spontaneous pneumothoraces in women referred for surgery. At video-assisted thoracic surgery, diaphragmatic defects and nodules are the most frequent findings. Pathology shows endometriosis in most instances. Endometrial implan...

Abstract
Chylothorax is the accumulation of chyle in the pleural space. In newborns the congenital form is often prenatal diagnosed, while the late variety originates to damage to the thoracic duct by cardiac surgery, diaphragmatic hernia, etc. Clinical presentation results from the accumulation of pleural f...

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Currently, the treatment of pneumothorax varies among hospitals. Three factors account for the differences. First, pneumothorax expresses the state of disease instead of the disease itself. Some pneumothoraces heal on their own but patients with pneumothorax due to chronic diseases may ne...

Abstract
We encountered three cases of chylothorax following abdominal surgery performed in general surgery units. The initial effusions, not lactescent, were ascribed to a pleural reaction that sometimes is observed during the postoperative period after abdominal surgery. Once the diagnosis was established,...

We diagnosed yellow nail syndrome due to his yellow nails and lymphedema of both lower limbs. Diuretics were effective for the control of his pleural effusion. Subsequently, fibrosarcoma was found in his abdominal skin and was resected. The pleural effusion gradually increased after the cessation of...

Out of the 38 patients, 29 had malignant pleural effusion, eight had recurrent pneumothorax and one had tubercular pleural effusion which was nonresponsive to antitubercular therapy. A complete response with no recurrence during follow-up was obtained in 34 (89.5 percent) patients. All the cases of...

Abstract
No reccurence occured when the P-CRP (pleural) and S-CRP (serum) ratio exceeded 60% during the first 48 hours after pleurodesis. On the other hand, when the ratio fall bellow 30-35%, the effusion relapsed frequently. CONCLUSION: The P-CRP/S-CRP ratio as a promising marker of talc pleurodesis effecti...

Abstract
Pleural effusion is defined as an accumulation of fluid in the pleural space in excess of 15 to 20 mls. The aetiology for the development of a pleural effusion includes changes in hydrostatic or colloid-osmotic pressure of pleural and pulmonary capillaries, changes in pleural vascular permeability a...
