Research summary
تناولت الدراسة التي أجراها الدكتور بسام درويش في مستشفى المواساة الجامعي بجامعة دمشق نتائج تنظير الجنب في تشخيص انصبابات الجنب غير المشخصة. تم إجراء الدراسة بين مايو 1998 ومايو 2002 وشملت 112 حالة. أظهرت النتائج أن تنظير الجنب هو تقنية ضرورية وآمنة لتشخيص انصبابات الجنب الغامضة التي لم يتمكن التشخيص التقليدي من تحديدها. تم اكتشاف أورام خبيثة في 58.2% من الحالات، وكانت الأورام الأكثر شيوعًا هي النقائل السرطانية (59.6%) والميزوتليوما (15.7%). كما تم تشخيص حالات التهاب الجنب النوعي في 29.6% من العينات. لم تحدث أي وفيات بين المرضى الذين خضعوا للتنظير، ولكن ظهرت بعض المضاعفات الطفيفة مثل الالتهابات غير النوعية بنسبة 8.1%. وأوصت الدراسة باستخدام التخدير العام أثناء إجراء التنظير وتجنب إجرائه في حالة وجود التصاقات أو سماكة جنبية.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر هذه الدراسة مهمة في مجال تشخيص انصبابات الجنب الغامضة، حيث أظهرت فعالية تنظير الجنب في الكشف عن الأمراض الخبيثة والتهابات الجنب النوعية. ومع ذلك، يمكن توجيه بعض النقد البناء للدراسة. أولاً، لم يتم توضيح تفاصيل حول توزيع الأعمار والجنس بين المرضى، مما قد يؤثر على تعميم النتائج. ثانياً، لم يتم مناقشة التكلفة الاقتصادية لتنظير الجنب مقارنة بالطرق التشخيصية الأخرى. وأخيراً، كان من الأفضل تضمين مجموعة مقارنة من المرضى الذين خضعوا لطرق تشخيصية تقليدية لتقييم فعالية تنظير الجنب بشكل أكثر شمولية.

The diagnosis of pleural diseases is one of the frequent clinical problems. Despite a variety of diagnostic tests are available for evaluating pleural effusions, approximately 15– 20% of pleural effusions remains undiagnosed, In this cases ,a thora coscopy plays an important role, it permits the surgeon to visually view and evaluate the entire pleural space ,and to obtain enough accurate biopsies from suspected areas. This study aims to evaluate the effectivenes of Video Assisted Thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in diagnosis of pleural effusions. Between June 2012 and June 2015 we performed 38diagnostic thorososcopy for undiagnosed pleural effusions. The histopathologic studies of pleural biopsies result were as follows : )%60,5 ( malignancies,)%31,6 ( TB And )%7,9 ( nonspecific inflammatory reaction. The malignant diseases are: Mesothelioma )%60,9(, Metastases of adenocarcinoma )%30,4(,Lymphoma )% 8,7( 4 Complications ,with no mortality. Conclusion: Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery is a safe and accurate diagnostic procedure for pleural diseases but it also has a very useful role in therapy.(VATS) saves time, effort and cost, more over it is preferred by the patient as he recovers and returns to his normal activity rapidly.
Malignant Pleural Effusion is a common complication of advenced malignancies، Particularly lung and breast cancer. Many patients experience considerable dyspnea shortness of breath، dry cough and chest pain، wich decisively reduces their capacity for physical activity and their quality of life. Between 1995 – 1998. 39 cases with malignant pleural effusion were treated. Pleurectomy was performed in 4 cases .The lung was trapped in 5 cases.Pleurodesis with talc slurry for 25 cases، with Tetracyclin for 4 cases and with Bleomycin for one case were performed. 73% - of these cases had positive results (decrease the dyspnea، no effusion) during 1st month .and 66،6% had positive results too during 3 months. So ،Pleurodesis is an effective and ، simple method of manegement of malignant Pleural effusion It has also low cost and low complications.
The main aim of this study is to analyze all cases of pericardial effusions - except post cardiac procedures - who were admitted to surgical department in Al-Assad and Tichreen University Hospital in the period between 2007-2016. (63) cases of Per icardial effusions were analyzed, (38) male and (25) female, their ages were ranging between (17-67) years. The most important two causes of pericardial effusions were renal failure (50.7%) and Malignancies (34.9%). lung cancer was the leading cause of Malignancies accounting 17.4% of whole cases and 50% of Malignancies. Pericardial window via left mini thoracotomy was the preferred procedure in our study. 68.2% of the patients under went this procedure, recurrent rate was 4.6%, and the amount of recurrent pericardial effusion was minimal and didn’t need any management. Pericardiocentesis was performed in 39.6% of our patients, recurrent rate was very high 80%, therefore it was abondend as a method of treatment and its role was considered only in hemodynamically unstable patients or as a first step of preparation for pericardial window. Pericardial window via subxyhoid under local anesthesia was performed in 11.11%; recurrent rate was high 28.6%.We consider this approach only in patients who are not fit to undergo other approaches or when the expected survival is very limited. Pericardial window via thoracoscopic approach was performed in 15.8% of our patients; recurrent rate was 10% with encouraging results. During performance of pericardial window via minithoracotomy or thoracoscopically we were able to perform in (19) patients many other diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as pleurectomy, Biopsies from the lungs, mediastinal tumors, and mediastinal lymph nodes as well. The histopathological examination of the resected pericardial window and concurrent procedures played an important diagnostic role in 23.8% of idiopathic pericardial effusions.
Pleural effusion is a common clinical condition. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is the most frequent cause of pleural effusions, which typically are transudates, but occasional patients with CHF are found to have exudates in the absence of an appa rent cause other than CHF, and the presence of CHF does not always explain exudative effusions in those patients. We aimed to determine the incidence, clinical significance of such exudative effusions and to study the effects of diuretics on characteristics of pleural fluid in patients with CHF accompanied with pleural effusion.
In Alassad Hospital we studied a population of 70 patients with pleural effusion for a period from August 2014 to Agust 2015 . The patients were 40men(57.1%) and 30 women(42.9) . According to the criteria used , 23(32.9%)patients were transudative ef fusions , and 47(67.1%)had exudative effusions . In our study we measured the level of cholesterol in the pleural fluid to assess the role of this measure in differentiating between transudativ and exudative effusion and the different causes of the effusion . We found that : pleural fluid cholesterol levels were significantly lower in the transudative than in exudative effusions ( 10.702±21.8 mg/dL and 32.67±69.39 mg/L respectively ) , but Light's criteria is better than level of cholesterol in pleural effusion to differentiate between the two types of effusions . but the stsatistic result improved when we add cholesterol into lights criteria . In the exudative effusion with lymphocytic cholesterol level more than 72.5 mg/dL is a strong suggestion for tuberculosis effusion , whether the level lower suggestive of malignant for exudative effusions . So , levels of cholesterol in pleural effusion can narrow the differential diagnosis of pleural effusions and help for perfecting the results .
