pleural effusion in your fetus or newborn?
Has anyone had to deal with pleural effusion in their unborn baby or newborn? My sister's preg with her 3rd and she has recently found out he has a pleural effusion (liquid around the chest, aka hydro thorax) If you have experienced this or have any info it would be much appreicated.
----------
tell your sis not to worry herself out to much until she finds out whats going on. i had hydrothorax and the fluid went away! they never found a reason for it to show up or to go away they called it a miracle so dont let her get down in the dumps about it! GOOD LUCK! (

Why does mesolthelioma of the pleura cause pleural effusion?
How does it do this? Why is it so common (pleural effusion)?
----------
mesothelioma causes inflammation of the pleura, the inflammation results in the collection of fluid. (sort of the same thing as a blister forming from a burn) (

Which of the following pleural recesses provides the greatest area for the lung to expend?
apical, costal, mediastinal, diaphragmatic.
Please include sources or accreditation. Thanks.
----------
DIAPHRAGMATIC. THAT PORTION OF THE LUNG PULLS DOWN DURING INHALATION TO AID THE LUNG IN EXPANDING AND FILLING WITH OXYGEN, CONTRACTING ON EXHALTION TO HELP THE LUNG ELIMINATE CARBON DIOXIDE. IT WOULD HAVE THE LARGEST SURFACE AREA.

Why is talc associated with pain in pleural effusion treatment?
Does anyone know why talc is associated with pain after a pleural effusion? I find lots of articles telling me it is associated but nothing that explains why.
Thank you in advance
D,
----------
Here are some articles that might help. The pleural effusion has swollen the space between the layers surrounding the lungs. After the effusion is removed they inject talc slurry into this area and it causes both an irritating reaction and pain. Simple answer is that messing with any malignant area of the body often causes additional pain.

my dad has emphysema and pleural plaque of both lungs i was just wondering what is the life expectancy?
what is the life expectancy of someone with that disease he is now 66 years of age,also would like to no how bad this disease will get { worst } he has oxygen ect... doctors only gave him few years to live and that was about 3-4 years ago he has check ups every so often and doctors are very pleased with him some times i dont no what to beleave doctors say few years to live then they say hes doing really well dosa this condition worsen all of a sudden or slowly can people with this condition live as long as anyone els ?
----------
I would follow what the doctors tell your dad. It really depends on his will to live and how much the disease has spread. Make sure he takes all his medications and is comfortable. The condition can worsen at anytime but it is usually gradual. My mom had lung cancer and it was pretty slow. (

Try looking in wikipedia. You can't expect us to do your home work. It is better if you find this information yourself. Try pulmonary physiology (
