Talc Slurry Is an Effective Pleural Sclerosant in Rabbits

Chest, 1995
Insufflated talc is probably the most effective agent for creating a pleurodesis both in the clinical situation and in animals. However, the insufflation of talc requires an invasive procedure such as thoracoscopy or thoracotomy. Recently, there have been reports that talc in a slurry was effective in the clinical situation.

Silver nitrate is superior to talc slurry in producing pleurodesis in rabbits.

Chest, 2000
The ideal agent for producing pleurodesis has not been identified. Although talc is the agent most commonly used at the present time, there are concerns about its safety. Silver nitrate is a possible alternative agent. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of intrapleural silver nitrate and talc slurry in producing ...

A Comparison of Thoracoscopic Talc Insufflation, Slurry, and Mechanical Abrasion Pleurodesis

Chest, 1997
The purpose of this study was to compare the anatomic and histopathologic results of four different methods of pleurodesis in 10 dogs. Each animal was randomly assigned to receive two of the following methods of pleurodesis: thoracoscopic talc insufflation (poudrage), talc slurry administration, focal gauze abrasion by limited thoracotomy, and ...

Prospective randomized trial of talc slurry vs bleomycin in pleurodesis for symptomatic malignant pleural effusions.

Chest, 1997
Symptomatic malignant pleural effusions are common sequelae in patients with certain malignancies. Pleurodesis via bedside thoracostomy is the current treatment option most commonly used. To our knowledge, this is the first prospective randomized trial to examine which agent, bleomycin or talc slurry, is superior in terms of effectiveness, safety, and ...

Prolonged pleural effusion following Fontan operation: effective pleurodesis with talc slurry

International Journal of Cardiology, 2002
Prolonged pleural effusions following a Fontan operation are a difficult problem. Although fenestrations and embolizations of systemic-pulmonary artery collaterals were suggested to treat and to decrease the risk of this complication, talc slurry pleurodesis may successfully augment and accelerate the beneficial effects of those techniques against the ...

Serial Observations after High Dose Talc Slurry in the Rabbit Model for Pleurodesis

Lung, 1998
The mechanisms leading to a pleurodesis after the intrapleural injection of a sclerosing agent are not completely understood. The purpose of the present study was to make serial observations over 28 days on the pleural fluid findings and the gross and microscopic changes in the pleura after talc slurry administered intrapleurally at a high dose.

Arterial Desaturation Syndrome Following Pleurodesis with Talc Slurry: Incidence, Clinical Features, and Outcome

Cancer Investigation, 2003
The objectives were to define the incidence, risk factors, clinical features and outcome of arterial desaturation syndrome following talc pleurodesis in patients with malignant pleural effusions. This retrospective, observational study took place at a tertiary care cancer center in New York.

Pleural Granuloma Mimicking Malignancy 42 Years after Slurry Talc Injection for Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax

European Surgical Research, 2010
<i>Background:</i> Talc poudrage is considered a safe pleurodesis technique to improve the results of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in cases of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). <i>Methods:</i> We report the case of a patient with left pleural pseudo-nodular plaque and a high metabolic rate upon PET scan suspected ...

The role of talc in preparing steatite slurries suitable for spray-drying

International Journal of Materials Research, 2010
Abstract The present work was driven by the need to replace the source of talc (hereafter referred to as standard) used in the manufacturing of steatite ceramics at Rauschert Portuguesa Lda. For this purpose, several talc powders were characterised in terms of pH, mean particle size (d50), morphology and crystalline phases, as well as ...
