Pleural fluid characteristics of tuberculous pleural effusions
Heart & Lung, 2010Mycobacterium 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, 2008Chyle 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.

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,

Veterinary Radiology, 1983
The present study was an attempt to illustrate the differences between ventrodorsal (VD) and dorsoventral (DV) radiographs that result from the movement of free pleural fluid. A volume of 25 ml/kg of normal saline was introduced into the pleural space of a normal dog, and radiographs of the thorax were produced in ventral and dorsal recumbency using a ...

Pleural Lymphatics as Regulators of Pleural Fluid Dynamics
Physiology, 1991Pleural 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.

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.
