Extra-pleural pneumonectomy versus no extra-pleural pneumonectomy for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma: clinical outcomes of the Mesothelioma and Radical Surgery (MARS) randomised feasibility study. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: The effects of extra-pleural pneumonectomy (EPP) on survival and quality of life in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma have, to our knowledge, not been assessed in a randomised trial.

Draining the Pleural Space: Lymphatic Vessels Facing the Most Challenging Task

Biology, 2022
Lymphatic vessels exploit the mechanical stresses of their surroundings together with intrinsic rhythmic contractions to drain lymph from interstitial spaces and serosal cavities to eventually empty into the blood venous stream.

Reproducible determination of transpulmonary pressures

MethodsX, 2022
Oesophageal pressures, as measured in an oesophageal balloon catheter, are a validated substitute for pleural pressures.Transpulmonary pressures, indispensable to improve our understanding of ventilatory physiology, are therefore typically calculated as ...

Hepatic Hydrothorax

Annals of Hepatology, 2018
Hepatic hydrothorax (HH) is a pleural effusion that develops in a patient with cirrhosis and portal hypertension in the absence of cardiopulmonary disease. Although the development of HH remains incompletely understood, the most acceptable explanation is

Suction pressures generated during thoracentesis using wall suction-based automated drainage: an in vitro and in vivo analysis

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease
Equipoise exists regarding the optimal method to drain pleural fluid during thoracentesis. While several institutions use wall-based automated suction, others point to the risk of excessively high suction pressures and therefore elevated barotrauma risk

High-pressure intrapleural chemotherapy: feasibility in the pig model

World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2012
Background The usual treatments for pleural malignancies are mostly palliative. In contrast, peritoneal malignancies are often treated with a curative intent by cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
