malignant pleural effusion is a common complication in certain malignancies. pleurodesis is the best option most of the time. the purpose of this study was to compare the choice of belomycin with povidone-iodine, which is not only determined by the efficacy of the agent but also by its cost, accessibility, safety, ease of administration and the number of administrations to achieve a complete re...

background: patients with symptomatic malignant pleural effusion (mpe) may gain profit from pleurodesis for relief of dyspnea and in preventing the accumulation of fluid or air in the pleural space. pleurodesis methods are palliative and regard the patient's symptoms and underlying disease condition that are different. the purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of bleomycin in th...

Background: Otitis media with effusion is one of the leading causes of hearing loss in children. Effective treatment of effusion in the middle ear requires appropriate empirical treatment and characterization of responsible pathogens. Objective of the present study was to detect pathogens in clinical samples from patients with otitis media with effusion in our area and to determine the sensitiv...
