Development of a Predictive Model for Large‐Volume Pleural Effusion After Separation Surgery in Patients With Spinal Metastatic Tumors

open access: yesCancer Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Separation surgery followed by radiotherapy has emerged as a prevalent approach for managing spinal metastatic tumors. However, large‐volume postoperative pleural effusion (POPE) represents a challenging complication, as it potentially delays subsequent treatments and increases morbidity. This study aims to identify risk factors for

Isolated Unilateral Pleural Effusion Associated With Hypothyroidism: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

open access: yesRespirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
Hypothyroidism rarely causes isolated pleural effusion, as such effusions are typically associated with comorbidities like heart failure or malignancy. This report presents a case of borderline transudative pleural effusion attributed solely to hypothyroidism after thorough differential diagnosis. Hypothyroidism should be considered in the differential

Is albumin gradient or fluid to serum albumin ratio better than the pleural fluid lactate dehydroginase in the diagnostic of separation of pleural effusion?

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2002
Background To determine the accuracy of serum-effusion albumin gradient (SEAG) and pleural fluid to serum albumin ratio (ALBR) in the diagnostic separation of pleural effusion into transudate and exudate and to compare SEAG and ALBR with pleural fluid ...

ACE/ACE2 Ratio and MMP-9 Activity as Potential Biomarkers in Tuberculous Pleural Effusions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biological Sciences, 2012
Objective: Pleural effusion is common problem, but the rapid and reliable diagnosis for specific pathogenic effusions are lacking. This study aimed to identify the diagnosis based on clinical variables to differentiate pleural tuberculous exudates from ...

Combined serum biomarkers in the noninvasive diagnosis of complicated parapneumonic effusions and empyema

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019
Background We previously demonstrated that the pleural levels of proteins (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin/NGAL, calprotectin, bactericidal permeability-increasing/BPI, azurocidin 1/AZU-1) were valuable markers for identifying complicated PPE (
