Original Source: Treatment of complicated parapneumonic pleural effusion and pleural parapneumonic empyema.
Background: We performed this observational prospective study to evaluate the results of the application of a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for complicated parapneumonic pleural effusion (CPPE) and pleural parapneumonic empyema (PPE). Material/Methods: From 2001 to 2007, 210 patients with CPPE and PPE were confirmed through thoracocentesis and treated with pleural drainage tubes (PD), fibrinolytic treatment or surgical intervention (videothoracoscopy and posterolateral thoracotomy). Patients were div...

Diagnostic value of procalcitonin in pleural effusions.
This study was to determine the diagnostic value of procalcitonin (PCT) in the differentiation of infectious and non-infectious causes of pleural effusion. From January 2005 to April 2005, we measured...
Potential role of AQP1 and VEGF in the development of malignant pleural effusion in mice.
Recent studies have revealed the important role of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) in tumor cell migration and angiogenesis. However, the function of AQP1 in malignant pleural effusion has not been well characteri...
