1. Three Different Strategies for Repair of Symptomatic or Aneurysmatic Aberrant Right Subclavian Arteries
ABSTRACT Introduction: In this study, we aimed to present three different methods for symptomatic aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) surgery. Methods: We identified 11 consecutive adult patients undergoing symptomatic and/or aneurysmal ARSA repair between January 2016 and December 2020. Symptoms were dysphagia (n=8) and dyspnea + dysphagia (n=3). Six

2. Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-ß1) levels in a rat model of induced pleural empyema
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the concentration of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) levels in a rat pleural effusion obtained by inoculation of intrapleural bacteria or turpentine through thoracentesis. Methods: Thirty-Nine Wistar rats were divided into three groups: Staphylococcus aureus (SA, n = 17); Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP, n = 12); and t

3. Role of the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio in the Differential Diagnosis of Exudative Pleural Effusion
OBJECTIVES: Pleural effusion is a common diagnostic and clinical problem. The differential diagnosis of pleural effusion may be difficult and may require several procedures, including invasive ones. Certain studies have investigated biochemical parameters to facilitate the diagnosis of exudative pleural effusion; however, it remains a challenging problem in

4. An evaluation of the professional, social and demographic profile and quality of life of physicians working at the Prehospital Emergency Medical System (SAMU) in Brazil
OBJECTIVE: To describe the profile of physicians working at the Prehospital Emergency Medical System (SAMU) in Brazil and to evaluate their quality of life. METHODS: Both a semi-structured questionnaire with 57 questions and the SF-36 questionnaire were sent to research departments within SAMU in the Brazilian state capitals, the Federal District and inlan

5. 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

6. Impacto da toracocentese de alívio sobre o sono em pacientes com derrame pleural volumoso / Sleep in patients with large pleural effusion: impact of thoracentesis
Introdução: O acúmulo de líquido na cavidade pleural afeta a dinâmica do sistema respiratório repercutindo no seu comportamento funcional. Contudo, seus efeitos sobre o sono permanecem indefinidos. Objetivos: Determinar a qualidade do sono e o grau de hipoxemia durante a vigília e sono antes e após a toracocentese de alívio em portadores de derrame

8. Estudo da resposta funcional ao exercício na vigência de derrame pleural e o impacto da toracocentese de alívio / Study of the functional response to exercise in the presence of pleural effusion and the impact of thoracentesis
Introdução: O derrame pleural, reduzindo a capacidade funcional pulmonar, torna os pacientes incapacitados para o desenvolvimento de suas atividades habituais. A retirada do líquido pleural através da toracocentese pode reverter este quadro, porém seu impacto especialmente na capacidade ao exercício não foi totalmente estabelecido. Objetivos: Avaliar

9. Effect of thoracentesis on pulmonary gas exchange.
The effect of thoracentesis on pulmonary gas exchange was studied in 33 patients with unilateral pleural effusions of various causes. Arterial blood gases were measured before thoracentesis and at 20 minutes, two hours, and 24 hours after the procedure. In 13 patients alveolar arterial oxygen gradient (PA-ao2), physiological dead space:tidal volume ratio (VD

11. Isolation of Allescheria boydii from pleural fluid.
Allescheria boydii was repeatedly isolated from thoracentesis fluid from a patient with a right pleural effusion. Histological study of methanamine-stained pleural tissue revealed the presence of septate hyphae. After a thoracotomy and decortication, the patient's symptoms cleared, and he has remained asymptomatic over a postoperative period of 13 months.

12. Rapid detection of pneumococcal antigen in pleural fluid of patients with community acquired pneumonia.
BACKGROUND: Detection of pneumococcal antigen may help to increase the rate of diagnosis of pneumococcal pneumonia. This study was designed to determine the value of rapid detection of pneumococcal antigen in pleural fluid from patients with community acquired pneumonia. METHODS: Thoracentesis was performed in patients suspected of having empyema and in pati
