Background: Tuberculous, parapneumonic and traumatic loculated pleural-effusions pose therapeutic challenges due to resultant pleural-thickening and compromised lung-function for life. Tuberculosis is widely prevalent in developing countries, necessitating appropriate, effective, and economical treatment for loculated pleural-effusion to reduce the burden and sequelae. <s...
The first step in diagnosing the cause of effusion is to differentiate exudate from transudate. In according to that, Light’s criteria has been used for years, but sometimes the amount of protein and LDH of the pleural effusion remains at the borderline, therefore detecting other components may be useful. This research is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 70 patients having pleural ef...
Background: The alteration of Th1 and Th2 cytokine levels is the subject of controversy in pleural effusions caused by malignancy, a situation that favors a Th2 immune response. Objective: To examine the different levels of IL-4 and IL-10 (Th2 cytokines), and IL-2 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) (Th1 cytokines) in malignant and non-malignant pleural effusions. Method: The cytokine levels in pleural fl...
abstract background: at present, differentiation between exudative and transudative pleural effusion is based solely on laboratory measures and is time-consuming. asimple bedside method would be of great help to differentiate between these two types of effusions. we present a new method for this purpose assessed in 46 patients. methods: standard laboratory tests and our method were tested ...
Introduction: Cancers are the most prevalent causes of exudative pleural effusions after para-pneumonic pleural effusions. Despite the combination of the pleural fluid cytological studies and pleural biopsy, diagnosis could not be reached in an important number of cases. In an attempt to improve the value of pleural fluid analysis in the diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion, some studies...
abstract background: pleural effusion is the accumulation of excess fluid in the pleural cavity. most information available about pleural effusion is obtained from studies on adults and little evidence is available in children. therefore, it is necessary to identify the existing status and explain the disease process, signs, treatment, and prognosis. children with pleural effusion who were admi...
The causes and situation of exudative pleural effusion vary from one area to another. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 327 patients with exudative pleural effusion in South Khorasan province (Iran). The patients were older than 12 years and comprised 172 (52.6%) males and 155 (47.4%) females. The study commenced in 2007 with seven years duration. The Light’s criteria were used to define...
background: patients with symptomatic malignant pleural effusion (mpe) may gain profit from pleurodesis for relief of dyspnea and in preventing the accumulation of fluid or air in the pleural space. pleurodesis methods are palliative and regard the patient's symptoms and underlying disease condition that are different. the purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of bleomycin in th...
to review our experience in treatment of patients with thoracic empyema at a teaching hospital chart of patients were retrospectively reviewed over a 72-month period. a total of 112 patients (94 men, 18 women, mean age: 39, range: 6-89 years) underwent therapeutic procedures for thoracic empyema between 2001-2006. the causes of empyema included parapneumonic empyema (60.7%), thoracic trauma (20...
Background and purpose : Apical residual air space and prolonged air leakage are not uncommon entities following resection of upper lobe of the lung. This study was carried out to observe the efficacy of the pleural tenting in preventing complications. Materials and methods : This is a case series study that compared with historical control. Pleural tenting after upper or upper and middle ...
