Introduction: The enlightenment of Hydro-pneumothorax arrived in former times of primitive Greece. It is a term which explains simultaneous existence of both free air and fluid (i.e., pneumothorax and hydrothorax) in the pleural space.The goal was to contribute and update the knowledge of clinical aspect as well as yield of diagnostic modalities in handling the cases of Hydropn...

Though pulmonary tuberculosis is the common presentation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, extra-pulmonary tuberculosis is also a growing problem worldwide. Tuberculous pleural effusion is the second frequent form of extra-pulmonary presentation after tuberculous lymphadenitis and if untreated up to 65% of patients with tubercular pleural effusions will eventually develop active TB. Trad...

burkitt's lymphoma is a lymphatic tumor classified as non-hodgkin lymphoma with small non cleaved cells. the disease has an incidence of two cases per million patients in north america, and usually present with an intra-abdominal tumor, or enlarged cervical lymph nodes. massive amounts of peritoneal and plural fluid is rarely seen in these patients. a three year-old girl presented with massive ...

The purpose of this present study was to differentiate transudates and exudates in pleural effusions. Oxidative stress has been associated with various respiratory disorders. Ninety patients of pleural effusions of diverse etiologies were participated in this study. Subjects underwent diagnostic thoracentesis and standard biochemical parameters (total protein, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose, MD...

PURPOSE To examine the production of plural morphology in children acquiring a dialect of Spanish with syllable-final /s/ lenition with the goal of comparing how plural marker omissions in the speech of these children compare with plural marker omissions in children with language impairment acquiring other varieties of Spanish. METHOD Three production tasks were administered to children. A re...

Abstract The counterfactual comparative account of harm faces problems in cases that involve overdetermination and preemption. An influential strategy for dealing with these problems, drawing on a suggestion made by Derek Parfit, is to appeal plural —several events together harming someone. We argue the most well-known version this strategy, due Neil Feit, as well Magnus Jedenheim Edling’s more...

In this study, we aim to evolving autonomous virtual creatures which have complex shapes in a complex environment. We implement a basic physics law and fluid influences with a virtual environment and evolve artificial creatures in plural environments (on the ground, in the water). Each model, which is evolved in a different environment, obtains an effective moving behavior in each environment (...

Chylothorax is characterized by accumalation of milky fluid called chyle into the plural space. Most common causes of cyhlothorax are trauma or surgery of thoracic duct and malignancies. Among the malignancies lymphoma is responsible approximately 70% of cyhlothorax but other lymphocytic tumors including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is rarely reported. A 71 years old man with known CLL, p...

The processing of the German plural has been examined in a range of behavioral and neurophysiological studies. A number of studies so far showed differences between the processing of the default plural form -s and the irregular plural form -(e)n. While previous studies focused on the examination of generally two plural categories (e.g. -(e)n versus -s), the current study aimed at examining four...

This paper provides an analysis of the syntax of optional plural marking in Yucatec Maya. I argue that plural morphology does not head a functional number projection as has been proposed for a variety of well-known languages, rather it merges as an adjoined modifier to the Determiner Phrase. This analysis explains a number of otherwise curious facts about plural marking in Yucatec Maya: the non...
