Indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) are commonly used in the management of malignant pleural effusion (MPE). There is little data on their use in non-malignant conditions. All IPC insertions for non-malignant cases from five large UK centres were found using prospectively maintained databases. ...
Since then, a number of publications have documented its utility in managing recurrent nonmalignant pleural effusions. The purpose of this paper is to review the use of the PleurX catheter in recurrent pleural effusions. 展开 关键词: indwelling pleural catheter, recurrent pleural effusions, malignant...
Studies suggest that noncatheterized male and female residents with bacteriuria living in nursing homes have no higher frequency of courses of antimicrobial treatment, infections, or hospitalizations than those without persistent bacteriuria. As a result, screening for ASB in the elderly should be ...
11-13 A pilot nonrandomized study (n = 65) suggested that patients with malignant pleural effusion treated with indwelling pleural catheters spent less time in hospital (8% vs 11.2% of their remaining lifespan) than those treated with talc pleurodesis.14 The Australasian Malignant Pleural ...

The modified System-i is a novel indwelling catheter system that allows vascular access to perform intermittent transarterial therapy, such as transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy via the femoral approach. In this study, we report the technical details and saf...

The approach to treating febrile non-neutropenic hematooncologic patients with central venous catheters varies. We recently introduced once-daily administration of cefonicid and gentamicin for such children who were in good clinical condition and without focal signs of infection. Our 2-year experience ...
Whole blood is routed into the system from a subject’s peripheral vein with a single cannulation using a dual-lumen catheter (Fig. 1c) via the efflux lumen (designated as in-flow in Fig. 1a) then through the CTC capture module, exiting back into the subject’s circulatory system via th...
