Pleural fluid protein is inversely correlated with age in uncomplicated parapneumonic pleural effusions
(2013)
Objectives: Assess whether age influences standard biochemical parameters used in the differential diagnosis of transudative and exudative pleural effusions. Design and methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from the ...
VEGF increases the permeability of sheep pleura ex vivo through VEGFR2 stimulation
(2014)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a cytokine that increases vascular permeability to water and proteins and induces angiogenesis, has been implicated in the development of pleural effusions. Inflammatory and ...
Physiology of pericardial fluid production and drainage
(2015)
The pericardium is one of the serosal cavities of the mammals. It consists of two anatomical structures closely connected, an external sac of fibrous connective tissue, that is called fibrous pericardium and an internal ...
Airways microbiota: Hidden Trojan horses in asbestos exposed individuals?
(2014)
Malignant pleura mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare type of cancer with devastating prognosis, which develops in the pleural cavity from transformed mesothelium. MPM has been directly associated with asbestos exposure however ...
Insulin Alters the Permeability of Sheep Pleura
(2010)
Aim: Insulin promotes ion transportation across epithelia, mainly kidneys, leading to water and electrolyte abnormalities, possibly causing 'insulin oedema syndrome', which rarely presents as pleural effusion. Direct ...
Evidence for non genomic action of 17 beta estradiol on transepithelial resistance of human fetal membranes
(2011)
Background: The role of hormones in the transport mechanisms of human fetal membranes in pregnancy is unclear. Estrogens are essential hormones in pregnancy and they play an important role in the ion transport via membranes. ...
