Pleural drainage: an evolving area

I read with interest the paper by Singh and coworkers on the subject of pleural drainage [1]. In the respiratory field, this is a hot topic and guidelines were recently published [2]. Singh and coworkers used a 16-French gauge catheter, which is broadly in agreement with the British Thoracic Society guidelines (and this is what we sometimes use in our hospital). However, the British Thoracic So...

Gis Applications in Urban Drainage Master Planning

In recent years, GIS applications in water resources management have become widespread and diverse in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Application areas include urban infrastructure master planning for storm and sanitary drainage systems, water distribution, watershed planning, and regional groundwater protection. This development has occurred despite the challenge faced by users that base data...

Evaluation of lacrimal drainage system by radionuclide dacryoscintigraphy in patients with epiphora

Introduction: This study was done to determine the site of obstruction in lacrimal drainage system in Asian patients suffering from epiphora and to determine the transit time taken for the tracer material to reach the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity. Methods:Dacryoscintigraphy was performed using radionuclide technetium-99m pertechnetate (99m...

Pleural drainage: an evolving area – authors' response

We would like to comment on the use of ultrasound (USS)guided drainage of the pleural cavity. The technique we have described is a cheaper and less traumatic alternative to the use of bigger bore chest tubes. It is, however, not meant as an alternative for situations where USS guidance is needed, such as in difficult patient anatomy or in the drainage of loculated effusions. As Kelly has pointe...
