Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disorder with involvement of multiple organs. Various forms of serositis, including pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and ascites, may be found during the course of SLE. Peritoneal involvement by ascites is common in the initial presentation of SLE. However, chylous ascites is uncommon in SLE patients. Here, we describe a 93-year...

Abstract Background It is crucial to differentiate between benign and malignant pleural effusions while making a diagnosis. The purpose of this research was investigate the diagnostic significance GSDMD VEGF in discriminating different kinds effusion their correlation with both progression-free overall survivals type. Methods Ninety-one fluid samples, which were classified as transudates or exu...

Marriott and Howland (1), in 1916, showed that in the blood of uremic patients the serum calcium is low but that there is an increased concentration of inorganic phosphorus. That there might be some relation between the rise of phosphate and the fall of calcium was first suggested by Binger (2), who injected solutions of 0-phosphates intravenously into dogs and observed an elevation of inorgani...

FOR many years there has been controversy, becoming very bitter at times, regarding the mechanism of formation of the aqueous humour. This fluid has at various times been considered a dialysate, a transudate, an exudate or a secretion, and very strong arguments have been brought forward for and against the various concepts by particular experimentalists partial to one or the other theory. Befor...

INTRODUCTION The World Health Organization recommends that countries conduct two phase evaluations of HIV rapid tests (RTs) in order to come up with the best algorithms. In this report, we present the first ever such evaluation in Uganda, involving both blood and oral based RTs. The role of weak positive (WP) bands on the accuracy of the individual RT and on the algorithms was also investigated...

In our work we aimed to study the pathomorphological manifestations among structural components of laryngeal mucosa and cartilage in early stages experimental opioid effect. This goal was achieved through use histological techniques visualize cartilage. Histological sections with a thickness 5 - 7 mm were made. specimens prepared according conventional methods using dye hematoxylin, eosin, azan...

A pleural effusion, an excessive accumulation of fluid in the space, indicates imbalance between formation and removal. For diagnosing treatment plan, effusions have to be classified into transudate exudate. The aim present study was analyze various biochemical parameters (LDH, pH, Glucose, Triglycerides, Cholesterol, Creatinine, Amylase ADA) correlate these Biochemical with diagnosis patients....

Rosa, C. 180 INTRODUCTION Budd-Chiari-like syndrome (BCLS) refers to hepatic venous outflow obstruction, resulting in post-sinusoidal portal hypertension and peritoneal effusion. The obstruction may occur anywhere along the post-hepatic veins, caudal vena cava (CVC), up to the right atrium (1, 2). Causes of BCLS include CVC intra-luminal obstruction (e.g., thrombosis and neoplasia) (2, 3, 4), e...
