Background: Aspiration of coelomic fluids from coelomic cavities is a simple and relatively, non-invasive technique to achieve a diagnosis. Pleural effusion, pericardial effusion and peritoneal effusion are commonly encountered problem by general physicians and chest physician. Effusion often present as a common diagnostic dilemma as no cause can be found in many cases inspite of careful evalua...

a microgravity survey was conducted for detecting the sink-holes at site of a power plant. pits, man-made tunnels and canals were considered as topographical effects and were corrected. to show the capability of the method two sites in a power plant have been surveyed for existing areas which can be affected by sink-holes overnight. ground shakes due to the running facilities were also preventi...

Pleural effusion is a ubiquitous complication in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Common etiologies of pleural effusion in this patient group are heart failure, volume overload, parapneumonic effusion, tuberculotic pleuritis, and uremic pleuritis. Although thoracentesis is a useful diagnostic method of pleural effusion, empirical reduction of the dry weight is often attempted without thoracentesis b...

In this paper, a novel model is proposed for the numerical simulation of noise-attenuating perforated liners. Effusion cooling liners offer potential being able to attenuate combustion instabilities in gas turbine engines. However, acoustic attenuation liner combination number interacting factors, resulting traditional approach designing combustor relying heavily on rig tests. On other hand, di...

Background: pleural effusion is the common fi ndings in patients presenting with cardiopulmonary symptoms but specifi c studies are lacking in Nepal. Objective: The main objective of this study is to fi nd out the various causes of pleural effusion, their mode of clinical presentation and laboratory analysis of blood and pleural fl uid to aid diagnosis of patients with pleural effusion. Materia...

abstract  background: at present, differentiation between exudative and transudative pleural  effusion is based solely on laboratory measures and is time-consuming. asimple  bedside method would be of great help to differentiate between these two types of effusions.  we present a new method for this purpose assessed in 46 patients.  methods: standard laboratory tests and our method were tested ...

Pericardial effusion is a recognized consequence of myxedema. Its incidence is unknown, primarily because of past difficulties in establishing the diagnosis. We studied 33 hypothyroid patients by echocardiography. Ten of the 33 patients (30%) had positive echoes for pericardial effusion. Seven of these ten patients had enlarged hearts on chest X-ray. Five patients had cardiac enlargement but no...
