Cholesterol Crystals – A Beautiful Incidental Finding in Pleural Fluid

Journal of the Scientific Society
Chyliform (pseudochylous) pleural effusions build up over time as a result of the breakdown of cellular lipids in long-lasting pleural effusions such as those caused by tuberculosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Predicting survival in malignant pleural effusion: development and validation of the LENT prognostic score

Thorax, 2014
Background Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) causes debilitating breathlessness and predicting survival is challenging. This study aimed to obtain contemporary data on survival by underlying tumour type in patients with MPE, identify prognostic indicators

The Rise of Refractory Transition‐Metal Nitride Films for Advanced Electronics and Plasmonics

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Transition‐metal nitrides (TMNs) are exceptional materials with high stability, biocompatibility, and semiconductor integration, which have been extensively employed in various fields. However, the epitaxial growth of TMN films remains a challenge. The absence of high‐quality TMNs limits the understanding of their condensed matter physics and hinders ...

Can the frequency-dependent specific heat be measured by thermal effusion methods?

, 2007
It has recently been shown that plane-plate heat effusion methods devised for wide-frequency specific-heat spectroscopy do not give the isobaric specific heat, but rather the so-called longitudinal specific heat.

Mast cells mediate malignant pleural effusion formation.

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2015
Mast cells (MCs) have been identified in various tumors; however, the role of these cells in tumorigenesis remains controversial. Here, we quantified MCs in human and murine malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) and evaluated the fate and function of these ...

Strain Relaxation of Al‐Rich α‐(AlGa)2O3 and α‐Al2O3/Ga2O3 Superlattice on m‐Plane Sapphire Substrates by Plasma‐Assisted Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Strain relaxation of Al‐rich α‐(AlGa)2O3 single layers and an α‐Al2O3/Ga2O3 superlattice structure grown on m‐plane sapphire substrates by molecular beam epitaxy are discussed. V‐shaped dislocations are formed on the Al‐rich α‐(AlGa)2O3 sample surface to reduce elastic strain energy accumulated during growth.

Assessment of the value of mesothelin in differentiating between different pleural malignancies by different interventional modalities

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2022
Context Malignant mesothelioma is an insidious neoplasm, with malignant pleural mesothelioma as the most common type, which is characterized by poor prognosis in most patients owing to late presentation. The use of noninvasive markers for early diagnosis

Stochastic Efficiency for Effusion as a Thermal Engine

, 2014
The stochastic efficiency of effusion as a thermal engine is investigated within the framework of stochastic thermodynamics. Explicit results are obtained for the probability distribution of the efficiency both at finite times and in the asymptotic ...
