1. 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

2. 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

3. Effectiveness and safety of outpatient pleurodesis in patients with recurrent malignant pleural effusion and low performance status
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of pleurodesis carried out entirely on an outpatient basis in patients with recurrent malignant pleural effusions and Karnofsky Performance Status scores <70. METHODS: This study was a prospective trial comprising patients with symptomatic recurrent malignant pleural effusion and Karnofsky Performance Stat

4. Análise de resultados clínicos e radiológicos de dois métodos de pleurodese com talco em pacientes com derrame pleural maligno recidivante / Analysis of clinical and radiological results of two methods of talc pleurodesis in patients with recurrent malignant pleural effusion
Introdução: A pleurodese com talco é o método mais popular para controle sintomático do derrame pleural maligno recidivante. A administração intrapleural do talco pode ser por videotoracoscopia ou dreno de tórax e qual o melhor método é uma questão controversa. Ainda que a expansão pulmonar seja um dos principais critérios de sucesso do procedim

5. Avaliação dos efeitos pulmonares e sistêmicos agudos em resposta à injeção intrapleural de talco de diferentes tamanhos de partículas / Pulmonary and systemic response following intrapleural instillation of talc with different particle size
Pacientes com comprometimento pleural por neoplasias malignas freqüentemente apresentam derrame pleural recidivante. Nestes casos, a sínfise das membranas pleurais (pleurodese) com a finalidade de evitar o acúmulo de líquido no espaço pleural deve ser considerada. O talco é o agente mais utilizado indicado para essa finalidade. Entretanto, seu uso tera

7. Spontaneous pneumothorax: comparison of simple drainage, talc pleurodesis, and tetracycline pleurodesis.
From 1978 to 1985 96 patients with their first spontaneous pneumothorax were randomised into three groups, receiving either treatment with simple drainage (34 patients), drainage with tetracycline pleurodesis (33 patients), or drainage with talc pleurodesis (29 patients). There were 58 men and 38 women, aged 18-88 years. There was no significant difference b

8. Management of recurrent malignant pleural effusion in the United Kingdom: survey of clinical practice.
Malignant pleural effusions are often symptomatic and tend to recur after simple aspiration. Pleurodesis may prevent recurrence of the effusion; many agents and techniques have been described. A questionnaire was sent to 448 clinicians in the United Kingdom to determine how pleurodesis is performed in practice. There was a 56% overall response, with replies

9. Treatment of recurrent malignant pleural effusion by iodized talc pleurodesis 1
Chemical pleurodesis using iodized talc is an effective method of treating symptomatic recurrent malignant pleural effusions. Twenty-three effusions occurring in 21 patients treated by this method are described with two illustrative case reports. The procedure eliminated the need for further chest aspiration in all but one instance. The histological appearan

10. Chest wall tumour following iodized talc pleurodesis
Jackson, J. W., and Bennett, M. H. (1973).Thorax, 28, 788-793. Chest wall tumour following iodized talc pleurodesis. A man of 37 had an iodized talc pleurodesis carried out for recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax. There was no history of industrial exposure to asbestos. Two years later he presented with pain in the right chest and radiographs at that time sho

11. Steroid resistant pleural effusion in systemic lupus erythematosus treated with tetracycline pleurodesis.
A 26 year old woman had recurrent unilateral pleural effusions secondary to active systemic lupus erythematosus. The effusions were resistant to conventional treatment with steroids but did not recur after tetracycline pleurodesis.

12. Chemical pleurodesis in malignant pleural effusions: a randomised prospective study of mepacrine versus bleomycin.
BACKGROUND--The treatment of recurrent pleural effusion in advanced malignant disease should be efficient and with tolerable side effects. Since 1983 intrathoracic instillation of the anti-malaria drug mepacrine has been used to achieve pleurodesis. The cytotoxic drug bleomycin has been claimed to be equally effective and with fewer side effects. The present
