Differentiation of Cardiac from Noncardiac Pleural Effusions in Cats using Second‐Generation Quantitative and Point‐of‐Care NT‐proBNP Measurements [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2016
Background Pleural effusion is a common cause of dyspnea in cats. N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) measurement, using a first‐generation quantitative ELISA, in plasma and pleural fluid differentiates cardiac from noncardiac causes of

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.

The role of pleural fluid lactate dehydrogenase-to-adenosine deaminase ratio in differentiating the etiology of pleural effusions

Chinese Journal of Physiology, 2022
Exudative pleural effusion includes tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE), parapneumonic pleural effusion (PPE), and malignant pleural effusion (MPE). An elevated pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) typically implies TPE, but the rule may not apply to ...

Diving into the Pleural Fluid: Liquid Biopsy for Metastatic Malignant Pleural Effusions

Cancers, 2021
Simple Summary Malignant pleural effusion is a common complication arising as the natural progression of many tumors, such as lung cancer. When this occurs, the common protocol consists of analyzing the pleural fluid for the presence of malignant cells ...

Role of pleural fluid “Cell Block” in malignant pleural effusion: Underutilized, sensitive, and superior over conventional fluid cytology; Does it will decrease need for thoracoscopy guided procedures?

Journal of Applied Sciences and Clinical Practice, 2022
Background: Malignant pleural effusion missed routinely because of less diagnostic yield of conventional fluid cytology. Materials and Methods: Prospective multicentric study conducted during January 2014 to June 2016 in Venkatesh chest hospital, and ...

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.
