Pleural effusion is a common medical problem. It is important to decide whether the pleural fluid is a transudate or an exudate. This study aims to measure the attenuation values of pleural effusions ...
380 cases who underwent thoracentesis and thorax computed tomography with pleural effusion were classified as exudates or transudates based on Light's criteria. Attenuation measurements in Hounsfield ...
380 patients were enrolled (39 % women), the mean age was 69.9 ± 15.2 years. 125 (33 %) were transudates whereas 255 (67 %) were exudates. The attenuation values of exudates were significantly higher ...
The attenuation measurements of pleural fluids can be considered as an efficacious way of differentiating exudative and transudative pleural effusions....
Fifty years since its inception, Light's criteria have aided in classifying pleural effusions (PEs) as exudates if 1 or more criteria are met. Thoracic ultrasound (US) emerges as a non-invasive techni...
We aimed to develop a score based on radiological and US features that could separate exudates from transudates without serum and pleural fluid biochemical tests necessary for Light's criteria....
A prospective review of consecutive patients with PE who underwent thoracocentesis was performed. CXRs were evaluated for laterality followed by US for echogenicity, pleural nodularity, thickening and...
We recruited 201 patients with PE requiring thoracocentesis. Mean age was 64 years, 51% were females, 164 (81.6%) were exudates, and 37 (18.4%) were transudates. Assigning 1-point for Diaphragmatic no...
DUETS separated exudates from transudates with good accuracy, and could obviate paired serum and pleural fluid tests necessary for Light's criteria computation. Our study reflected real world practice...
Polyserositis in disseminated tuberculosis (TB) is an uncommon presentation. The exudative nature of effusion in disseminated TB can be masked by presence of malnutrition due TB....
A 24-year-old female, diagnosed with disseminated TB, developed polyserositis with transudative nature of fluid. She was treated with anti-tubercular therapy (ATT)....
Polyserositis, though an uncommon presentation in disseminated TB, was the clinical manifestation in our case. But transudative nature of the fluid was an unexpected finding. Hypoalbuminemia as a resu...
Hypoalbuminemia as a result of malnutrition due to TB can be the reason for transudative nature of effusion in polyserositis....
Aspergillus versicolor, a widely distributed fungus, is associated with pollution and carcinogenic hazards. This study aimed to examine the functions of the A. versicolor exudate and laid a scientific...
Root exudates are well-known 'labile' sources of soil carbon that can prime microbial activity. Recent investigations suggest that the stability of labile carbon inputs in soil mostly depends upon the...
Pleural effusions are most commonly classified as transudative or exudative based on Light's criteria which has shown misclassification in 10%-20% of cases. Studies have demonstrated lesser misclassif...
This cross-sectional study involving 72 patients was undertaken in a tertiary center in Nepal for a duration of 2 years. On the basis of Light's, Heffner's, etiological, and pleural fluid cholesterol ...
Pleural fluid cholesterol detected effusion as exudative with sensitivity of 91.94% and specificity of 80.00% against Light's criteria; with a sensitivity of 98.28% and specificity of 85.71% against t...
When considering the avoidance of confusing outcomes in equivocal instances and cost effectiveness in developing nations, pleural fluid cholesterol can be one of the most useful alternative diagnostic...
We present three cases of patients aged 66, 80 and 23, who presented unilateral vision loss. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) in all of them showed macular oedema and a rounded lesion with hyperrefl...
Release of toxic cyanobacterial secondary metabolites threatens biosecurity, foodwebs and public health. Microcystis aeruginosa (Ma), the dominant species in global freshwater cyanobacterial blooms, p...
The aim of this study is to determine the diagnostic performances of pleural procedures in undiagnosed exudative pleural effusions and to evaluate factors suggestive of benign or malignant pleural eff...
This was a multicenter prospective observational study conducted between January 1 and December 31, 2018. A total of 777 patients with undiagnosed exudative pleural effusion after the initial work-up ...
The mean age ± SD of the 777 patients was 62.0 ± 16.0 years, and 68.3% of them were male. The most common cause was malignancy (38.3%). Lung cancer was the leading cause of malignant pleural effusions...
The diagnostic performance increases considerably when cytology is combined with image-guided pleural biopsy in malignant pleural effusions. However, to avoid unnecessary interventions and complicatio...
