Diagnosis of drowning by summation of sodium, potassium and chloride ion levels in pleural effusion: differentiating between freshwater and seawater drowning and application to bathtub deaths.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although electrolyte analysis of pleural effusion at autopsy is useful for the diagnosis of water aspiration (i.e., drowning), the method of comparing each level of sodium (Na(+)), potassium (K(+)), and chloride (Cl(-)) ions does not clearly differentiate between freshwater drowning, seawater

The use of fat-free human milk in infants with chylous pleural effusion.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to describe the processing of human milk to remove its fat content and its use in seven infants with chylothorax. METHODS The mother's milk was centrifuged at 3000 r.p.m. for 15 min at 2 degrees C. After centrifugation, the milk separated into a solidified-fat

Electrolyte analysis in pleural effusion as an indicator of the drowning medium.

Only registered users can translate articles

In medico-legal autopsies for drowned bodies, the location of drowning needs to be determined. To investigate the usefulness of electrolyte analysis in pleural effusion as an indicator of the location where the deceased has drowned, we determined the concentrations of electrolytes in the pleural

Electrolyte analysis of pleural effusion as an indicator of drowning in seawater and freshwater.

Only registered users can translate articles

It is important for forensic pathologists to determine the diagnosis of drowning as well as the site of drowning. In a previous study, we propose that analysis of electrolytes in pleural effusion from rats may be useful for determining whether drowning has occurred in seawater or freshwater. To test

Prognostic role of echocardiographic and hematologic parameters in heart failure patients complicated with incidental pleural effusion diagnosed during echocardiographic evaluation.

Only registered users can translate articles

We aimed to determine long-term prognostic role of echocardiographic and hematologic parameters in heart failure patients complicated with incidental pleural effusion (PE) diagnosed during echocardiographic evaluation. The study was performed by evaluating patient records in which PE was

When pleural potassium exceeds 5.0 mEq/L, high pleural adenosine deaminase levels do not necessarily indicate tuberculous pleuritis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether high levels of pleural adenosine deaminase (pADA) are predictive for tuberculosis when pleural effusions do not satisfy the criteria for lymphocytic effusions or show neutrophil predominance. METHODS This was a retrospective observational

Leukocyte migration inhibition in patients with Ewing's sarcoma by 3-M potassium chloride extracts of fresh and tissue-cultured Ewing's sarcomas.

Only registered users can translate articles

Leukocyte migration inhibition (LMI) assays were performed to detect cell-mediated immune reactions against tumor-associated antigens (TAA) of Ewing's sarcoma. With the use of crude antigen preparations obtained by 3M KCl extractions of fresh Ewing's sarcoma or of tissue culture cells derived from a

ECTOPIC ACTH SECRETION WITH CONCOMITANT HYPERAMYLASEMIA IN A PATIENT WITH SMALL CELL LUNG CARCINOMA: CASE REPORT.

Histologically confirmed small cell lung cancer associated with Cushing's syndrome and elevated amylase is rarely described in the literature. We present a case of a 63-year-old patient admitted to cardiology department due to shortness of breath, exhaustion, palpitations and nausea. Elevated values

Artificial hydration therapy, laboratory findings, and fluid balance in terminally ill patients with abdominal malignancies.

Only registered users can translate articles

To explore the association between hydration volume and laboratory findings, and between calculated fluid balance and changes in clinical signs of dehydration and fluid retention in terminally ill cancer patients, a secondary analysis of a large multicenter, prospective, observational study was

Carcinosarcoma of the fallopian tube with disappearance of carcinoma cells by neoadjuvant chemotherapy: case study.

Only registered users can translate articles

The authors report a case of carcinosarcoma (CS) of the fimbria of the fallopian tube in which carcinoma cells disappeared with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). A 74-year-old woman visited the present hospital with a large pelvic mass and pleural effusion. A magnetic resonance image of the tumor was

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of severe influenza A (H1N1) in pregnant women. METHODS Sixteen patients with severe pneumonia caused by influenza A (H1N1) were included in this study from November 26 to December 20, 2009. RESULTS All of the sixteen patients were young women,

Prolonged therapy by the combination of furosemide and thiazides in refractory heart failure and other fluid retaining conditions.

Only registered users can translate articles

The efficacy and side effects of the combination therapy of thiazide and furosemide administered to patients with refractory heart failure, for a prolonged period of time, were assessed. Thirty-two patients were hospitalized during the years 1985-1991. Left heart failure (left ventricular ejection

Low yield of microbiologic studies on pleural fluid specimens.
