Synergistic Sealing of the Pleural Space: Combining Thoracoscopic Talc Poudrage and IPC for Malignant Pleural Effusion-A Case Series. [PDF]
Respirol Case RepWe describe the technique of performing talc poudrage and indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) insertion during the same setting to enhance procedural efficiency and patient outcomes. We report a case series of malignant pleural effusion demonstrating successful pleurodesis within 2–4 weeks using this combined approach.

Size-Controlled Talc Nanosheet Ionogel Electrolytes for Dendrite Suppression in Solid-State Sodium Metal Batteries. [PDF]
Small SciIonogel electrolytes are formulated using size‐controlled talc nanosheets for sodium metal batteries. Smaller nanosheets enhance ionic liquid immobilization and increase ionogel modulus. These high‐modulus ionogels improve Na deposition uniformity and mechanical resistance to dendrite growth.

Risk factors related to pleural empyema after talc slurry pleurodesis
Clinics, 2022 Empyema is a complication of talc-pleurodesis that may lead to further surgical intervention and death. Therefore, the present study's objective was to identify the risk factors for the development of post-pleurodesis empyema after talc slurry pleurodesis in order to better select patients for this procedure and minimize its morbidity.Patients with ...
