Circulating endometrial cells (CECs) have emerged as a new biomarker of advanced disease in women with endometriosis. The identification of several subtypes of CECs (e.g.

The simultaneous cytological and metabolic investigation of various extravascular body fluids (EBFs) provides clinically relevant information about the type and intensity of the immune response in particular organ systems. The oxidative burst of professional phagocytes with the concomitant production of reactive oxygen species consumes a large amount of oxygen and is the cause of switch to the development of anaerobic metabolism. We assessed the relationships between percentages of neutrophils, aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, and tissue damage via the determination of aspartate aminotransferase catalytic activities (AST) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), pleural effusions (PE), abdominal effusions (AE), and synovial fluids (SF).

Background: The predominance of neutrophils in pleural effusions of patients with different serious impairments of the pleural cavity organs is often found. The aim of this study was to identify the type of injury using the cytological-energy analysis of pleural effusions.

Methods: We analysed 635 samples of pleural effusions with predominance of neutrophils.

Article Synopsis
  • Doe-Potter syndrome is a rare condition causing low insulin levels and hypoglycemia due to excessive insulin-like growth factor II from solitary fibrous tumors.
  • Laboratory tests typically show low C-peptide and insulin levels, with elevated insulin-like growth factor II, and surgery is the main treatment method.
  • A case study shows that a patient's hypoglycemia resolved after removing the tumor, highlighting the importance of considering this syndrome in patients with potential thoracic malignancies and hypoglycemic symptoms.

Background: The occurrence of catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is rare, and the awareness of this diagnosis among physicians is insufficient. CP is highly correlated with pelvic endometriosis and remains the most common form of thoracic endometriosis syndrome. Circulating endometrial cells (CECs) have been previously detected in patients with pelvic endometriosis.
