The Relationship of Amount of Pleural Fluid and Time of Pleurodesis with the Results of Pleurodesis in Malignant Pleural Effusions [PDF]
Background: Pleural effusion can be an early sign of lung cancer in more than 25% of cases. Lung cancer is the most common cause of malignant pleural effusion (MPE).

Interesting Case of Lung Fibrosis in a Patient With Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. [PDF]
We 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 ...

Chemical pleurodesis – a review of mechanisms involved in pleural space obliteration
Chemical pleurodesis is a therapeutic procedure applied to create the symphysis between the parietal and visceral pleura by intrapleural administration of various chemical agents (e.g. talk, tetracycline, iodopovidone, etc.).

Pleurodesis for malignant pleural effusions
BACKGROUND: Approximately half of all patients with metastatic cancer develop a malignant pleural effusion which is likely to lead to a significant reduction in quality of life secondary to symptoms such as dyspnoea and cough.

Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) patients sometimes have a persistent air leak (PAL) that leads to increased morbidity and increased hospital stay. Further, these patients also need pleurodesis to prevent a recurrence.

Non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations often exhibit significant tumor reduction following tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Residual tumors frequently remain, however, leading to drug resistance and disease progression.

Pleurodesis: state of the art [PDF]
Pleurodesis aims to achieve a symphysis between parietal and visceral pleural surfaces, in order to prevent accumulation of fluid or air in the pleural space. Its major indications are malignant effusions and pneumothorax, and a re-expandable lung is essential for the success of the technique.
