In the United States, approximately one million patients each year develop a pleural effusion. Pleural effusions have classically been divided into transudative and exudative pleural effusions. A transudative pleural effusion occurs when the systemic factors influencing pleural fluid formation and reabsorption are altered so that pleural fluid ...

Pleural Disease in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2006Pleural disease is a common complication of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). The incidence and recurrence rates of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax in LAM are the highest among chronic pulmonary disorders. Most patients have at least one pneumothorax before LAM is diagnosed, and pneumothorax is often the sentinel event that leads to the diagnosis ...

AbstractThere are several pleural diseases that occur either predominantly or exclusively in females. Most of these entities are related to obstetric or gynecological conditions. In this article, we will provide an overview of Meigs' syndrome, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, endometriosis, catamenial pneumothorax, catamenial hemothorax, pleural ...

Pleurisy and Empyema Pleural diseases are common and represent a significant contribution to the workload of emergency department. Patients with pleural effusions may be asymptomatic; however, they generally present with symptoms such as pleuritic chest pain or dyspnea. Imaging of Spontaneous Pneumothorax Spontaneous pneumothorax is a relatively common

Emergencies in pleural diseases
Revista Clínica Española (English Edition), 2013A parapneumonic effusion should be drained if it is large (≥ 1/2 of the hemithorax), loculated, frank pus is obtained, if the fluid is non-purulent fluid but has a low pH (< 7.20) or if the culture is positive. Instillation of fibrinolytics and DNase thorough the chest catheter in locutated effusions and empyemas is currently recommended. Management of

Pleural effusions, pneumomediastinum, and pneumothorax are known complications of pregnancy. Although reported in small series and anecdotal case reports, the serious nature of these complications and the potential for misdiagnosis during the events of labor and delivery warrant a careful review of the available literature.

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2015
Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and optimal treatment of patients with pleural diseases. MRI is a noninvasive imaging modality, which is not commonly used as first-line investigation in this field, but is often called upon to solve specific dilemmas.

British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1982
The lung function tests on 88 asbestos workers known to have an asbestos-related abnormality on the chest radiography have been analysed with respect to pleural disease. The degree of intrapulmonary and pleural disease were assessed by reading posteroanterior and both oblique films according to a modified ILO U/C Classification (1971). The results show

Lymphocytes in pleural disease
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2005Lymphocytic pleural effusions are characterised by divergent cellular responses depending on the etiology of disease. The pathogenic role of lymphocytes in pleural disease, however, remains unclear. This review provides a basic description of the functions of the different lymphocyte subsets within the pleural space and then summarises recent studies ...
