26. Tissue hyaluronan expression, as reflected in the sputum of lung cancer patients, is an indicator of malignancy
Hyaluronan (HA) shows promise for detecting cancerous change in pleural effusion and urine. However, there is uncertainty about the localization of HA in tumor tissue and its relationship with different histological types and other components of the extracellular matrix, such as angiogenesis. We evaluated the association between HA and degree of malignanc

29. Superoxide dismutase 2 as a marker to differentiate tuberculous pleural effusions from malignant pleural effusions
OBJECTIVES: Our previous study demonstrated that superoxide dismutase levels were higher in tuberculous pleural effusions than in malignant pleural effusions, but that this difference could not be used to discriminate between the two. The objectiv

31. Methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible community-acquired Staphylococcus aureus infection among children
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has emerged as a pathogen associated with community-acquired infections worldwide. We report the spectrum of community-acquired S. aureus infections and compare the patients infected with methicillin-susceptible or methicillin-resistant strains among patients aged <20 years. Overall, 90 cases of community acquired

32. Effectiveness and safety of iodopovidone in an experimental pleurodesis model
OBJECTIVES: Chemical pleurodesis is an important therapeutic tool to control recurrent malignant pleural effusion. Among the various sclerosing agents, iodopovidone is considered effective and safe. However, in a recent study, ocular changes were described after iodopovidone was used in recurrent pneumothorax. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effica

33. Pleural tuberculosis: is radiological evidence of pulmonary-associated disease related to the exacerbation of the inflammatory response?
OBJECTIVE: Pleural tuberculosis is the most frequently occurring form of extra pulmonary disease in adults. In up to 40% of cases, the lung parenchyma is concomitantly involved, which can have an epidemiological impact. This study aims to evaluate the pleural and systemic inflammatory response of patients with pleural or pleuropulmonary tuberculosis. METHODS

34. Autoimmune features caused by dengue fever: a case report
Dengue virus is the most important mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. Co-circulation of the four types of dengue viruses and expansion of dengue epidemic gave rise to infection enhancement and a big expansion of clinical aspects of the disease. Herein we report a case of a 25-year-old white woman with dengue fever and numerous associated autoimmune f

36. Influência do anticorpo anti-VEGF bevacizumab na inflamação pleural e na pleurodese experimental induzida por talco ou nitrato de prata / Influence of anti-VEGF bevacizumab in pleural inflammation and experimental pleurodesis induced by talc or silver nitrate
Introduction: Chemical pleurodesis is widely used to control recurrent malignant pleural effusion. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is produced in response to mesothelial injury by sclerosing intrapleural injection and it is a potent angiogenesis inducer. The monoclonal anti-VEGF bevacizumab inhibits VEGF and has been used in the treatment of cancer
