Antinuclear Antibodies in Pleural Fluid
Chest, 1994Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) frequently involves the pleura with resultant pleural effusion. Previous studies have reported that detection of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in pleural fluid using animal tissue as substrate was a sensitive and specific method for distinguishing SLE pleural effusions from other etiologies. The HEp-2 ANA, which uses a

Pleural fluid exchange in rabbits
Respirology, 2007Background and objectives: The study was designed to better characterize pleural fluid absorption in rabbits with the following two objectives: to determine the relative absorption of saline versus high‐protein solutions, and to identify the relative rates of absorption of dextran molecules of varying sizes.Methods: Twenty New Zealand white rabbits ...

Normoblasts in pleural fluid: Are they significant?
Diagnostic Cytopathology, 2007AbstractThe hemopoietic cell elements in body fluids is a rare encounterance. From among the normal bone marrow inhabitants, only megakaryocytes are occasionally seen in pleural and peritoneal fluids due to extramedullary hemopoiesis as a result of myeloproliferative disorders.

Pleural fluid lactate in pleural effusion.
European journal of respiratory diseases, 1987Pleural fluid lactate (PFL) and blood lactate (BL) concentrations were simultaneously measured in samples from 46 patients with pleural effusion. PFL exceeded 6 mmol/l in all 15 patients with pyogenic bacterial pleurisy but in only 5 of the other 31 patients.

Mucopolysaccharides of Serum and Pleural Fluid
Nature, 1960THE use of paper electrophoresis has enabled several investigators to establish the presence of acid mucopolysaccharide components in various tissue extracts1,2 and urine3. Two such substances, staining with toluidine blue, were found in human aortic tissue4; concentrated human urine contained three components which stained with alcian blue5.

Diagnostic Studies of Pleural Fluid
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1973Proper management of a pleural effusion depends usually on an exact diagnosis of the underlying disease. In a few cases the cause of the accumulation of fluid remains unknown despite thorough study and prolonged observation.

The Effect of Pleural Fluid on the Diaphragm
Radiology, 1965While many articles in the literature deal with the distribution and configuration of pleural effusion, there has been little discussion on the effects of this effusion on the dynamics of the diaphragm. As fluid accumulates in a pleural space, the corresponding hemidiaphragm may be depressed by the weight and pressure even though the upper level of the

Early Detection of Pleural Fluid
Chest, 1980Displacement of a sharp "costophrenic angle," rather than blunting of the "costophrenic angle," is emphasized as one of the earliest signs of pleural fluid. Examples of this sign are illustrated, and its pathophysiology is discussed.
