INTRODUCTION Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are a significant source of cancer morbidity and mortality. Currently there is no cure for MPEs and treatments only palliate the symptoms. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are differences in markers of angiogenesis and immune phenotypes between adenocarcinoma-induced MPEs and benign pleural effusions (BPEs). METHODS Pleural ef...
Sirolimus, a mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor, is an increasingly used immunosuppressant in solid-organ transplantation. There are an increasing number of reports of unusual oedematous adverse effects associated with this drug, including lymphoedema, ascites and pleural effusions, and a few reports of pericardial effusions. No pathophysiological explanation for these phenomena has been d...
As an aid in the differential diagnosis of exudative pleural effusions, tumor markers were investigated. We measured immunosuppressive acidic protein (IAP), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), adenosine deaminase (ADA), and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) in the pleural fluid of 36 patients with carcinomatous pleural effusions a...
Parapneumonic effusions account for about one third of all pleural effusions. Approximately 40% of patients with pneumonia develop a concomitant effusion, which is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. In order to select the most appropriate therapy for the individual patient, the effusion should be categorized as being in the exudative, fibropurulent, or organizational stage, a...
The present prospective study was designed to determine the prevalence of pleural effusion at approximately 28 days after cardiac surgery and their subsequent course. This consecutive case study included 389 patients; 312 had only coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) surgery, 37 had both valve and CABG surgery, and 40 had only valve surgery. Chest radiographs were obtained approximately ...
PURPOSE We investigated the incidences of pericardial and pleural effusions after definitive radiotherapy with or without concurrent chemotherapy were analyzed retrospectively. METHODS One hundred and forty-seven patients with esophageal cancer received definitive radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCR). Follow-up chest Computed Tomography scans were reviewed to detect pericardial ...
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis kills five lakh patients every year in India, commonest being pulmonary tuberculosis and is often associated with effusion. Delay in diagnosis and treatment results in poor prognosis. Several studies have suggested the role of adenosine deaminase (ADA) in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusions, but false-positive results from lymphocytic effusions have also been ...
In this prospective study of 70 patients with pleural effusion, the underlying disease could be identified in 62 cases. By predefined criteria, 31 of these effusions were classified as transudates and 31 as exudates. Pleural fluid protein content, LDH activity and cholesterol level were measured to investigate their utility in differentiating the exudates from the transudates. Protein and LDH l...
