The Lancet, 2012
In February, 2010, a 45-year-old woman weighing 220 kg (body-mass index 68 kg/m2) was referred to our institution after a 3-month history of progressive abdominal distension without fever or night sweats or other complaints (appendix). Medical and family history was otherwise unremarkable, with her last gynaecological examination 2 years previously ...

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1992
Pleural effusions are a common development in patients with cancer. The optimal means of control are not defined, but systemic treatment is often effective in patients with drug-sensitive tumors. Local treatments advocated in the management of malignant pleural effusions differ in the means of drainage, the length of time pleural tubes are left in situ,

Pediatric Emergency Care, 2007
The ability to recognize, understand, and treat pleural effusions in the pediatric population is important for pediatric health care providers. The topic of pleural effusions has been extensively studied in the adult population. In recent years, these studies have extended into the pediatric population. This review describes pleural effusions in detail,

In this study the incidence and course of pleural effusions (parapneumonic effusions) in patients with acute bacterial pneumonia were prospectively evaluated. Bilateral decubitus chest x-ray films were obtained within 72 hours of admission in 203 patients with an acute febrile illness, purulent sputum and an infiltrate evident on the chest film. Ninety

Oncology, 2009
The current approach in managing effusions in the Cancer Research Institute Clinical Unit is as follows. Initial attempts are made to control the process with systemic chemotherapy, using diuretics as indicated. If the patient requires frequent taps, or is symptomatic from his effusions, an alkylating agent is instilled locally.

Summary. A prospective ultrasound study investigated the reportedly high frequency of asymptomatic pleural effusions in the early post‐partum period. The pleural space of 50 women within 1–45 h of delivery was scanned with a real‐time sector scanner. Only one woman had a pleural effusion.

Medical Clinics of North America, 1977
There are many diseases that cause pleural effusions. When a patient with a pleural effusion is first evaluated, one should determine if the patient has a transudate or an exudate. A diagnostic approach to the patient with an undiagnosed pleural effusion is outlined.

Malignant Pericardial Effusion
Cardiology, 2013Malignant pericardial effusion is a common and serious manifestation in malignancies. The origins of the malignant process include solid tumors or hematological malignancies, while primary neoplasms of the pericardium are less common. In the oncological patient, pericardial effusion may develop by several different mechanisms, namely by direct or ...

Cytologic evaluation is the best way to detect the presence of malignancy in body cavity fluids. Although a positive diagnosis is highly reliable, a negative result does not rule out a malignant cause. Adenocarcinomas, well-differentiated squamous carcinomas, small-cell carcinomas, malignant melanomas, large-cell lymphomas, and acute leukemias are ...

The key to effective evaluation of pleural effusions lies in an understanding of the dynamic nature of its formation and alteration. Trying to fit a specimen neatly into a distinct diagnostic category will not only lead to frustration, but is often unnecessary or incorrect.
