Drainage of Pleural Effusion in the Intensive Care Unit (DOPE‐ICU) Feasibility Trial—Protocol and Statistical Analysis Plan

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Pleural effusions are common in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients with respiratory failure. Ultrasonography‐guided therapeutic pleural drainage is widely used and associated with improved oxygenation and ventilatory parameters, but no randomised clinical trial data exist.

DNase inhibits early biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa- or Staphylococcus aureus-induced empyema models

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Anti-infection strategies against pleural empyema include the use of antibiotics and drainage treatments, but bacterial eradication rates remain low. A major challenge is the formation of biofilms in the pleural cavity.

Percutaneous Cryoablation Under Local Anesthesia for Pulmonary Metastases From Colorectal Cancer: Long‐Term Outcomes From a Single‐Institution Retrospective Cohort

Cancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Surgical resection is the standard treatment for pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer, but its safety and long‐term efficacy in medically inoperable patients remain limited. Percutaneous cryoablation is a minimally invasive alternative to surgical resection and has gained increasing attention in recent years.
