Interesting Case of Lung Fibrosis in a Patient With Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. [PDF]
Respirol Case RepWe present the case of a 39‐year‐old man with recurrent spontaneous (including bilateral) pneumothoraces and haemoptysis who had unusual thoracic computed tomography (CT) abnormalities. In the absence of typical phenotypic features, these radiological findings prompted genetic testing, which confirmed a pathogenic COL3A1 mutation and established the ...

The association of defective pleural sRAGE production with the recurrence of malignant pleural effusion after Talc pleurodesis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSymptomatic malignant pleural effusions (MPE) are treated with chemical pleurodesis to prevent recurrence. The serum soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) has been linked to lung cancer progression but its role in predicting talc ...

Journal of Association of Pulmonologist of Tamil Nadu, 2021 Abstract The aim of pleurodesis is to seal visceral to parietal pleura with adhesions to prevent pleural fluid or air accumulating. Pleurodesis is dependent upon lung re-expansion following removal of pleural fluid or air, which allows the apposition of visceral and parietal pleura.

Mechanisms of Pleurodesis [PDF]
Respiration, 2012 Pleurodesis aims to obliterate the pleural space by producing extensive adhesion of the visceral and parietal pleura, in order to control relapse of either pleural effusions (mostly malignant) or pneumothorax. A tight and complete apposition between the two pleural layers is a necessary condition to obtain a successful pleurodesis, but – besides this ...
