Filter by:Describe the epidemiology of hospitalized pediatric pneumonia and pneumonia with pleural effusion: frequency, clinical and biological characteristics, responsible bacteria and pneumococcus place, antibiotic resistance, treatment, vaccine status.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of IFN- Y combined with T cells in the treatment of refractory malignant pleural effusion and acties, using a multicenter, single-arm, open design.
Investigators will compare two different approaches of postoperative drainage after the standard water-seal drain has been used efficiently; one is by using urine bag and check it get blown by the leaked air, two is by using clamping of the water seal drain. Investigators will compare them depending on several factors such as; cost effectiveness, hospital stay, duration of putting the drain and more, reinsertion of the chest tube and others.
The primary objective of this study is to compare gravity-driven versus wall suction-driven large volume therapeutic thoracentesis on the development of chest discomfort during the procedure. This study is a multicenter, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial designed to compare chest discomfort between gravity-driven and wall suction-driven therapeutic thoracentesis. Patients will be stratified by study centers, and randomly assigned to intervention and control arms; and will remain blinding to their group assignment during the procedure.
This multicenter prospective survey study is designed to evaluate a newly developed mobile app that will support patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) treated with an indwelling pleural catheter (IPC). The aim is to test the mobile app with patients with MPE and get user feedback during and at the end of the study period.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of single dose analgesia in combination with local anesthesia to control pain during Trans Ultrasound guided procedures. It also aims to assess the effect of its use on procedure performance time and rate of complications occurrence compared to local anesthesia alone.
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is usually performed with general anesthesia and single lung ventilation. However, performing thoracic surgery under awake regional anesthesia has several potential advantages including avoidance of airway trauma and ventilator dependence associated with endotracheal intubation, besides promoting enhanced recovery after surgery and shorter mean hospital stay.
The present study will examine the comparative effectiveness of two treatment strategies currently used in the treatment of patients with systolic heart failure presenting with pleural effusion. Patients will be randomized to standard medical treatment only or medical treatment and referral to thoracentesis. Study hypothesis: A strategy of referring patients with heart failure-related pleural effusion to thoracentesis increases number of days alive outside of hospital over the following 90 days.
Isolation lung cysticercosis reports are rare in literature. Most lung lesions were characterized by nodules. The investigators access one case which was characterized with pulmonary cavity and pleural effusion by Gupta N, et al in 2015 from PUBMED and Medline. But pleural effusion and exudative lesions is reported for the first time.
A current problem in Radiology Departments is the constant increase in the number of studies performed. Currently the largest volume of studies belongs to plain x-rays. This problem is intensified by the shortage of specialists with dedication and experience in their interpretation. In the field of computer science, an area of study called Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged, which consists of a computer system that learns to perform specific routine tasks, and can complement or imitate human work. Since 2018, Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires has been running the TRx program, which consists of the development of an AI-based tool to detect pathological findings in chest x-rays. The intended use of this tool is to assist non-imaging physicians in the diagnosis of chest x-rays by automatically detecting radiological findings. The present multicenter study seeks to externally validate the performance of an AI tool (TRx v1) as a diagnostic assistance tool for chest x-rays.
