Model of pleural fluid turnover

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1993
A model of pleural fluid turnover, based on mass conservation law, was developed from experimental evidence that 1) pleural fluid filters through the parietal pleura and is drained by parietal lymphatics and 2) lymph flow increases after an increase in pleural liquid volume, attaining a maximum value 10 times greater than control.

Pleural fluid characteristics of tuberculous pleural effusions

Heart & Lung, 2010
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection of the pleural space is an important cause of pleural effusion in areas of high TB prevalence. Microbiological analyses of pleural fluid in the acute setting may be negative. Consequently, investigations may proceed to more invasive techniques, such as pleural biopsy or thoracoscopy. Ongoing research has led to

Pleural Fluid Analysis in Chylous Pleural Effusion

Chest, 2008
Chyle is a noninflammatory, lymphocyte-predominant fluid that may cause a pleural effusion as a consequence of thoracic duct leakage into the pleural space. Although chyle is reported to have protein concentrations in the transudative range, chylous effusions are typically exudative, as defined by the standard criteria.

Pleural Lymphatics as Regulators of Pleural Fluid Dynamics

Physiology, 1991
Pleural fluid is filtered across the parietal mesothelium in the top of the pleural cavity and removed by lymphatic stomatas in the more dependent mediastinal and diaphragmatic regions. The pleural lymphatics act as a feedback system that regulates pleural liquid volume and its protein composition around a low volume set point.

The Value of Pleural Fluid Analysis

American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2008
Pleural fluid analysis in isolation may have clinical value. To have the greatest diagnostic impact, the clinician must formulate a prethoracentesis diagnosis based on the clinical presentation, blood tests, and radiographic imaging. With this approach, a definitive or confident clinical diagnosis can be expected in up to 95% of patients.

Pleural-Fluid Eosinophilia

New England Journal of Medicine, 1950
PLEURAL-fluid eosinophilia has occurred rarely enough to be an unfamiliar phenomenon but frequently enough to have been the subject of considerable speculation about its diagnostic and prognostic significance. Since eosinophils are uncommon in the usual cytology of pleural fluid, the presence of any might be considered as representing a significant ...

Moxalactam in Pleural Fluids

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1984
Excerpt To the editor: Pharmacologic data on moxalactam levels in pleural fluids are limited. We had an opportunity to evaluate levels in noninfected hospitalized patients.

Aspiration of Pleural Fluid

Diseases of the Chest, 1950
1) A change in the routine manner of positioning the patient from the vertical or sitting to the lateral recumbent method of approach is proposed. 2) The lateral recumbent position for doing a chest tap, with the fluid side dependent, has safety, completeness, speed and convenience. 3) By placing the patient in the lateral recumbent position,
