Thoracoscopic Talc Insufflation Versus Talc Slurry in Patients with Malignant Pleural Effusion [PDF]
Suez Canal University Medical Journal, 2021 Background: Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) is defined as an accumulation of pleural fluid in which malignant cells are present. It is a poor clinical indicator as it represents an advanced stage neoplasm with median survival ranging from one to 12 ...

Talc slurry pleurodesis via chest tube in department of pulmonology--a 24-case study.
Advances in Respiratory Medicine, 2013 INTRODUCTION Chemical pleurodesis is an accepted palliative therapy for patients with recurrent and symptomatic pleural effusion. The aim of the study is to present our own experiences with a less invasive variant of this procedure performed with talc ...

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.

Influence of particle size on extrapleural talc dissemination after talc slurry pleurodesis.
Chest, 2002 Cases of acute respiratory failure reported after talc pleurodesis have raised concerns about its safety. It has been speculated that this pulmonary inflammatory syndrome is secondary to the extrapleural dissemination of the talc particles.To test the hypothesis that particle size influences extrapleural talc deposition and pleural inflammation after ...

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.

Phase III intergroup study of talc poudrage vs talc slurry sclerosis for malignant pleural effusion. [PDF]
Chest, 2005 To demonstrate the efficacy, safety, and appropriate mode of instillation of talc for sclerosis in treatment of malignant pleural effusions (MPEs).A prospective, randomized trial was designed to compare thoracoscopy with talc insufflation (TTI) to thoracostomy and talc slurry (TS) for patients with documented MPE.The primary end point was 30-day ...
