Combined Uric Acid and Cholesterol Pleural Fluid Levels as Biochemical Markers for Differentiation between Transudative and Exudative Pleural Effusions [PDF]

International Journal of Medical Arts, 2022
Background: Pleural effusion results from an abnormal pathophysiological state of the equilibrium between pleural fluid formation and removal. Normally, pleural space contains about 10 ml of fluid on each side.

Role of Combined Pleural Fluid Cholesterol and Total Protein in Differentiation of Exudates and Transudates

Nepalese Medical Journal, 2020
Introduction: Light's criteria had been the standard method for distinguishing exudative and transudative pleural effusions which misidentify 15-20% of transudates as exudates.

Computed tomography attenuation in differential diagnosis of transudative and exudative pleural effusions. [PDF]

Clinics (Sao Paulo)
Objective: Pleural effusion is a common medical problem. It is important to decide whether the pleural fluid is a transudate or an exudate. This study aims to measure the attenuation values of pleural effusions on thorax computed tomography and to ...

Role of pleural fluid-serum protein carbonyl gradient in differentiating exudative and transudative effusions

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2020
Background: Pleural effusions often cause a diagnostic dilemma. The first step in the evaluation of pleural effusions is the distinction between exudates and transudates.

Accuracy of Uric Acid and Cholesterol Levels Examination in Distinguishing Pleural Effusion Fluid Exudates and Transudates

, 2021
Background: Light's criteria was reported 25% of misclassification transudates as exu­dates. This study aimed to analyse the accuracy of examining uric acid levels and pleural fluid uric acid levels, and pleural fluid cholesterol and cholesterol ratios ...

Discriminating transudates and exudates in dogs with pleural effusion: Diagnostic utility of simplified Light's criteria compared with traditional veterinary classification

, 2020
Objectives To determine whether the simplified Light's criteria (ie, pleural effusion lactate dehydrogenase concentration and serum total protein) can identify the pathophysiology of pleural effusion formation in dogs, and to assess whether these ...

Radiological Findings Post Autologous Fat Grafting and Breasts Procedures: Avoiding False Positive Results

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
This article highlights the importance of understanding the imaging features and complications of fat necrosis and oil cysts to improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical management. A rational diagnostic sequence—emphasizing comparison with prior imaging, careful evaluation of morphological changes, and judicious use of biopsy—can reduce unnecessary ...

The first case of Reel Syndrome in a dog after pacemaker implantation: A case report

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Reel Syndrome is a rare complication of permanent pacemaker implantation, characterised by the rotation of the device around its transverse axis, which causes the lead to coil around the generator and displacement, leading to pacing dysfunction. This report presents the first documented case of Reel Syndrome in a dog.
