Images show intramural hematoma of the arch and descending aorta. The small amount of pericardial fluid in the fold adjacent to the ascending aorta complicates assessment for ascending aortic involvementdoi:10.21037/ASVIDE.2018.361P. Schoenhagen
**Most pleural (and pericardial) effusions with lung cancer are due to tumor. In a few patients, however, multiple cytopathologic examinations of pleura (pericardial) fluid are negative for tumor, and the fluid is nonbloody and is not an exudate. Where these elements and clinical judgment ...
In a few patients, however, multiple microscopic examinations of pleural (pericardial) fluid are negative for tumour, and the fluid is non-bloody and is not an exudate. Where these elements and clinical judgment dictate that the effusion is not related to the tumour, the effusion should be ...

The exclusion criteria for the study participants were as follows: i) patients with interstitial lung disease or pulmonary fibrosis; ii) severe pleural effusion, peritoneal fluid and pericardial fluid; iii) superior vena cava syndrome; iv) patients with brain metastasis; v) uncontrollable diabetes ...
The authors hypothesize that in their case, probably secondary to anticoagulation, the viscosity of the pericardial fluid was low enough to demonstrate, by way of fluid shifts within the confines of the pericardium, the changes of volume and pressure of the heart chambers throughout the cardiac ...

The pericardial fluid (PF) contains sEVs and immune cells including cavity-like macrophages. PURPOSE. This study investigates whether PF-sEVs regulate macrophages, contributing to a specific immunophenotype in CAD patients. METHODS. PF was collected from CAD patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery ...
