Utilizing thoracic ultrasonography in determining the characteristics of pleural fluid: Development of a novel sonographic scoring system [PDF]

Annals of Thoracic Medicine
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the utility of thoracic ultrasound imaging (USI) in assessing the nature of pleural fluid (PF) using a scoring system. METHODS: The files of patients who underwent thoracic USI and thoracentesis due to PF accumulation were ...

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 ...

Exosome-based detection of EGFR T790M in plasma and pleural fluid of prospectively enrolled non-small cell lung cancer patients after first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy

Cancer Cell International, 2021
Background The exosomal nucleic acid (exoNA) from the plasma and pleural fluid can potentially provide means to identify genomic changes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who develop resistance to targeted epidermal growth factor receptor ...
