Medical Thoracoscopy vs CT Scan-Guided Abrams Pleural Needle Biopsy for Diagnosis of Patients With Pleural Effusions: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

TL;DR: The use of CT-ANPB as the primary method of diagnosis in patients with pleural thickening or lesions observed by CT scan is recommended and in those who may have benign pleural pathologies other than TB, the primary methods should be medical thoracoscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computed tomography features in malignant pleural mesothelioma and other commonly seen pleural diseases.

TL;DR: A patient has extremely high probability of malignant pleural disease if one or more of these CT findings are found and the possibility of MPM is high.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic value of CEA, CA 15-3, CA 19-9, CYFRA 21-1, NSE and TSA assay in pleural effusions

TL;DR: Tumor markers are not suitable for the differential diagnosis of malignancy while the combination of CEA with other tumor markers increased sensitivity but decreased specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictors of hospital outcome and intubation in COPD patients admitted to the respiratory ICU for acute hypercapnic respiratory failure

TL;DR: The most important predictors related to hospital mortality were the need for invasive ventilation and complications to MV, andequate metabolic compensation for respiratory acidosis at admittance is associated with better survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Levels in Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis

TL;DR: Increased serum VEGF levels may be an indicator of active pulmonary tuberculosis, since levels were higher in patients withactive pulmonary tuberculosis and were lower after successful treatment, and the role of V EGF-mediated angiogenesis in the pathogenesis and progression of pulmonary tuberculosis lesions should be further elucidated.
