Partial Tumor Regression and Resolution of Pleuritis Carcinomatosa and Atelectasis in an Inoperable Malignant Lung Carcinoma: Case Report
Background: Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung has poor prognosis and survival statistics. The aim of this study was to determine the possible clinical benefit of Soma and MSQ-11 nutritional supplements in a case of an inoperable squamous cell lung carcinoma. Method: The regime of nutritional products was administered as follows: Soma extract 1 ml BID for six weeks, MSQ-11 1 tbsp TID for one m...
متن کاملSimultaneous measurements of adenosine deaminase activity and tuberculostearic acid in pleural effusions for the diagnosis of tuberculous pleuritis.
Adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity and tuberculostearic acid (TSA) levels in pleural effusions were measured in 18 patients with active tuberculous pleuritis, 16 patients suspected of having tuberculous pleuritis, 14 patients with carcinomatous pleuritis, and 19 patients suffering from pleuritis of non-malignant and non-tuberculous etiology. In the patients with active tuberculous pleuritis, AD...
متن کاملMycobacterium avium-intracellulare pleuritis with massive pleural effusion.
Atypical mycobacterial infection is seldom accompanied by pleural involvement. We report a very rare case of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare pleuritis with massive pleural effusion. The patient was a non-immunocompromised 35-year-old Japanese male with insidious onset of fever, chest pain and anorexia. The pleural effusion gradually resolved with empirical antimycobacterial treatment, leavin...
متن کاملTh1/Th2 Imbalance and Elevated PD-L1 in Pleural Effusion Predict the Risk of Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculous Pleuritis
Background: Patient immune status might be indicative of the variance in bacterial genetics in drug-resistant tuberculous pleuritis and could be used for predicting the risk of multi-drug resistant tuberculous pleuritis (MDR-TB). Objective: To determine the significance of Th2/Th1 ratio and concentration of PD-L1 in the pleural effusions for prediction of MDR-T...
متن کاملCombined use of pleural adenosine deaminase with lymphocyte/neutrophil ratio. Increased specificity for the diagnosis of tuberculous pleuritis.
UNLABELLED Increased pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity is classically associated with tuberculous pleuritis. However, increased activity can also occur in a number of other diseases and this may negatively affect the diagnostic utility of ADA measurements and decrease its specificity for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). The presence of ADA in pleural fluids reflects the cellul...
