Hepatic hydrothorax refers to the presence of a pleural effusion (usually >500 mL) in a patient with cirrhosis who does not have other reasons to have a pleural effusion (e.g., cardiac, pulmonary, or pleural disease). Hepatic hydrothorax occurs in ap...
BACKGROUND: Classification of the etiologies of pleural effusion is a critical challenge in clinical practice. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on a simple cut-off method based on the laboratory tests. However, machine learning (ML) offers a novel...
Tuberculous pleural effusion poses a significant threat to human health due to its potential for severe disease and mortality. Without timely treatment, it may lead to fatal consequences. Therefore, early identification and prompt treatment are cruci...
BACKGROUND: The study aimed to develop and validate a deep learning-based Computer Aided Triage (CADt) algorithm for detecting pleural effusion in chest radiographs using an active learning (AL) framework. This is aimed at addressing the critical nee...

RATIONALE: Lung ultrasound, the most precise diagnostic tool for pleural effusions, is underutilized due to healthcare providers' limited proficiency. To address this, deep learning models can be trained to recognize pleural effusions. However, curre...
Quantifying pleural effusion change at chest CT is important for evaluating disease severity and treatment response. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI)-based volume quantification of pleural effusion ...
BACKGROUND: Tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) is a challenging extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis, with traditional diagnostic methods often involving invasive surgery and being time-consuming. While various machine learning and statistica...
Intrapleural enzyme therapy (IET) with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and DNase has been shown to reduce the need for surgical intervention for complicated parapneumonic effusion/empyema (CPPE/empyema). Failure of IET may lead to delayed care an...
