Pleural fluid agitation for improving the microbiologic diagnostic yield in pleural infection: a feasibility study [PDF]
Respiratory ResearchBackground Pleural infection is a commonly encountered respiratory disease but in > 40% the underlying microbiologic etiology is unknown. This feasibility study aims to investigate whether pleural fluid agitation prior to sample aspiration is safe and ...

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.
