The pro-BNP concentration was measured in 117pleural fluid samples taken from patients with heart failure, malignant elfusions, tuberculous pleurisy, parapneumonic effusions, hepatic hydrothorax, and effusions secondary to pulmonary embolism. In patients with heart failure the median level of pro-BNP ...

Currently, pemetrexed is developed under the trade name Alimta® and is commercially available as a therapeutic agent for malignant pleural mesothelioma and as a therapeutic agent for non-small-cell lung cancer. Alimta is commercially available in the dosage form of a lyophilized formulation that mu...
Conclusion: A high pleural fluid/blood BNP ratio, an easily performed in everyday practice, costless biomarker seems to predict poorer survival better than the commonly reported prognostic factors in MPM.Tsolaki, VasilikiZakynthinos, George E....
