Abstract

L’épanchement pleural liquidien de la plèvre se rencontre en médecine générale et peut avoir des causes et des mécanismes variés. Sa découverte se fait soit fortuitement à l’occasion d’une radiographie du thorax systématique mais, surtout en présence des signes fonctionnels évocateurs. L’anamnèse fouillée ainsi qu’un examen physique complet sont des guides précieux dans l’établissement du diagnostic de le pleurésie liquidienne. La radiographique standard face et profil mais aussi l’incidence de décubitus latéral est l’examen paraclinique de choix. Les données épidémiologiques indiquent la décompensation cardiaque comme cause la plus fréquente de l’épanchement pleural et, cela oriente la stratégie de prise en charge, surtout lorsque le contexte clinique va dans le même sens ; stratégie qui consiste à instaurer ou à majorer un traitement diurétique pendant une période de trois jours et de réaliser une réévaluation radiologique au bout de cet essai thérapeutique. Référer le patient si la pleurésie persiste au-delà de trois jours d’un traitement diurétique bien conduit

Abstract

This practical ad easy-to-read manual is designed for quick consultation on how to deal with the most frequent clinical situations in the field of pleural pathology. It covers transudative, neoplastic, infectious and idiopathic pleural effusions as well as chest tube drainage and transthoracic ultrasound. Each topic is covered in a schematic way and introduced by paradigmatic clinical cases. Clear flow charts further guide readers throughout the diagnostic and therapeutic pathway. Filling an existing gap in literature this handy and easy-to-read guide will be valuable tool for pulmonologists, internists, oncologists, thoracic surgeons, and pulmonology residents alike.

Abstract

L’épanchement pleural est une accumulation pathologique de liquide dans la cavité pleurale, survenant secondairement à une maladie sous-jacente perturbant ainsi les mécanismes d’homéostasie des volumes normaux dans le thorax. Dans ce travail, nous allons nous focaliser sur l’effusion pleurale chez le chat et l’identification de sa nature exacte afin de pouvoir proposer les étiologies les plus courantes.&#13;La prise en charge en urgence d’un chat en détresse respiratoire va être abordée dans un premier temps. Différents éléments dans l’anamnèse (comme l’âge, l’environnement, les antécédents de l’animal), l’examen clinique (comme la fréquence respiratoire, la fréquence cardiaque) et la présence de maladies concomitantes telles que l’hyperthyroïdie, le statut FeLV/FIV de l’animal permettront de suspecter que c’est un épanchement pleural qui est à l’origine de la dyspnée dans cette situation.&#13;Une fois l’animal stabilisé, nous allons pouvoir mettre en place notre démarche diagnostique passant par l’analyse du liquide d’épanchement en réalisant une thoracocentèse. Cette analyse permettra la classification du liquide d’épanchement.&#13;Différents paramètres permettront d’identifier la nature de l’épanchement : l’aspect macroscopique, la cellularité, le taux de protéines, la densité et la présence de germes. Les données épidémiologiques concernant les différents liquides peuvent également aider au diagnostic. La nature du liquide d’épanchement comprend le transsudat pur, le transsudat modifié, l’exsudat, le chylothorax ou l’hémothorax. Une fois celle-ci déterminée, cela permettra de nous orienter vers l’une ou l’autre étiologie. Les épanchements les plus fréquemment observés sont d’une part les transsudats d’origine cardiaque ou tumorale, et d’autre part les exsudats avec le pyothorax ou ceux consécutifs à une PIF ainsi que le chylothorax idiopathique.&#13;Des examens complémentaires spécifiques à ces pathologies confirmeront le diagnostic étiologique.&#13;Ce n’est que lorsque le diagnostic étiologique est posé qu’un traitement approprié pourra être mis en place. Le vétérinaire sera alors en mesure d’informer le client sur les options de gestion et le pronostic vital de son chat.

Abstract

Malignant effusions (pleurites, ascites and pericardites) are some of the most frequent manifestations of dissemination process of malignant tumors. Accumulation of the malignant fluid in serous cavities results in impairment of respiratory and cardiac functions, however long-term evacuation of the fluid leads to severe disorders of homeostasis that may directly cause the patient’s death.  The aim of this comprehensive book is to provide detailed information of pathogenesis and management of malignant effusions. The current book focuses on three of these categories: pleuritis, acsites and pericarditis. This book, written by recognized experts in the field, provides a detailed overview of current knowledge on this subject. The presented book reports valuable information about malignant effusions to basic and clinical medical specialists in academia, practice, as well as industry. The main topics considered include contemporary diagnostic approaches and modern therapeutic strategies, including conventional drugs, methods of intracavitary adoptive immunotherapy, chemotherapy and hyperthermia, commercial and experimental drugs being still under study. The material is presented in an easy to read and understandable language and uses a plethora of tables and figures. This book is aimed at oncologists, as well as phthisiatricians, surgeons, therapists and physicians of various specializations, who have to make diagnosis and treat effusions during their professional activity, and it will be undoubtedly helpful for interns, post-graduates and Ph.D. fellows of medical centers.

Abstract

The extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold, which surrounds and supports the cells in tissues, consists of fibrillar proteins, proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, signaling molecules, and enzymes involved in its remodeling. The stages of cancer progression, e.g., local invasion, intravasation, extravasation, distant invasion and immunosuppression, are obligatorily perpetrated through interactions of these tumor cells with the ECM. Cancer-related ECM changes can be exploited for the evaluation of disease progression, anticancer therapy development, and monitoring of therapy response. Thus, in breast cancer, hyaluronan-mediated wound repair mechanisms are hijacked to promote tumor development. Altered mechanical properties of the pancreatic cancer ECM are immunosuppressive and prevent the penetration of cytotoxic chemotherapy agents. The expression of the proteoglycan syndecan-4 is modulated by anticancer drugs, suggesting its potential druggabilty capacity. Another proteoglycan, lumican, is proposed as a cancer prognosis marker, chemoresistance regulator, and cancer therapy target. Due to their remodeling properties, the MMPs are vital mediators and important therapeutic targets. Treatment of breast cancer cells with sulfated hyaluronan has been shown to attenuate tumor cell growth, migration, and invasion. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), comprising exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies, are released by all cells into the ECM and body fluids and can be utilized as diagnostic markers in malignant pleural mesothelioma. These exciting developments encourage tumor biology scientists for further creative research.
