Diagnostic Utility of Pleural Fluid Cell Block versus Pleural Biopsy Collected by Flex-Rigid Pleuroscopy for Malignant Pleural Disease: A Single Center Retrospective Analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Some trials recently demonstrated the benefit of targeted treatment for malignant disease; therefore, adequate tissues are needed to detect the targeted gene.

Report of results of pleural biopsy (Needle biopsy and open biopsy) in 108 cases and 245 biopsies [PDF]

, 1960
1. The results of 245 pleural biopsies perfomed in 108 patients including 219 pleural needle biopsies and 26 pleural open biopsies were reported. The method of pleural biopsy seems to be superior to any other currently available diagnostic procedures for

Comparison of same day diagnostic tools including Gene Xpert and unstimulated IFN-γ for the evaluation of pleural tuberculosis: a prospective cohort study [PDF]

, 2014
Background: The accuracy of currently available same-day diagnostic tools (smear microscopy and conventional nucleic acid amplification tests) for pleural tuberculosis (TB) is sub-optimal. Newer technologies may offer improved detection.

Role of thoracoscopic pleural lavage and brush in undiagnosed exudative pleural effusion

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2015
Background: The accurate diagnosis of pleural effusion remains a challenging problem even after thoracentesis and closed pleural biopsy. Medical thoracoscopy has been established to have a greater diagnostic yield in the diagnosis of exudative pleural ...

Dynamic and volumetric variables reliably predict fluid responsiveness in a porcine model with pleural effusion [PDF]

, 2013
Background: The ability of stroke volume variation (SVV), pulse pressure variation (PPV) and global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) for prediction of fluid responsiveness in presence of pleural effusion is unknown.
