Voorbeelden van pleural

• Effusions may also be related to the amount of pleural surface area supplied by collateral vessels.

• Finally, the shape of the posterior pleural field, deeper in front and merging with the border behind, is narrower behind.

• The method has now been extended for drainage of pleural effusions of varied aetiologies, and even pneumothorax in small patients, with the same favourable results.

• Prosopon on borders and spines consists of dense concentration of relatively fine tubercles; small number of larger tubercles scattered on pleural ridges and major spines.

• Two patients had bilateral pleural effusions that resolved during the in-hospital period and one a left pneumothorax without consequences.

• The thorax is narrow and tapers posteriorly, the pleural spines of the last segment being long and directed backwards.

• The body cavities (peritoneal and pleural), lungs, liver, heart and spleen were checked for metacestodes.

• It is supposed that schistosomula escape from pulmonary capillaries into alveoli and migrate through pulmonary tissues to the pleural cavity.

• Pleural scales creamy, except on both the pronotal lobes, the dorsal parts of which are brown-scaled.

• The postoperative course was far from smooth, with pleural effusions and ascites as well as oliguria and, subsequently, anuria.

• Seven patients had multiple-lobe involvement (7.86%), and only three patients had pleural effusion (3.36%).

• Pleural furrows wide, dividing pleural field into four pleural bands.

• Posterior pleural field deeply depressed between pleural ridge and axial furrow, displaying an inconspicuously elevated thin pleural ridge.

• Anterior pleural field adaxially as long as pleural ridge (exsag.); ramp-like, inclined backwards from elevated anterior border, without obvious internal structures.

• Anterior pleural field excavated by rather large triangular depression devoid of sculptural elements.
