Masquerade With Mediastinal Pleural Fluid
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1975A TRIANGULAR density in the right paraspinal area has been considered as evidence of right lower lobe atelectasis. 1-3 Fluid density merging with the right margin of the heart may be interpreted as an enlarging heart. 4 Finally, with known disease of the right lower lobe, a subsequent increase in density off the right margin of the heart may suggest ...

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

Mucopolysaccharides of Serum and Pleural Fluid [PDF]
Nature, 1960 THE 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.

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

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.

The Value of Pleural Fluid Analysis
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2008Pleural 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.

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.

Contribution of pleural fluid analysis to the diagnosis of pleural effusion
Medicina Clínica (English Edition), 2015Analysis of pleural fluid can have, on its own, a high diagnostic value. In addition to thoracocentesis, a diagnostic hypothesis based on medical history, physical examination, blood analysis and imaging tests, the diagnostic effectiveness will significantly increase in order to establish a definite or high probable diagnosis in a substantial number of

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.
