Background: This experimental study aims to investigate the pleurodesis effects of iodopovidone at different concentrations (2% and 4%) and sterile talc in a rat model.
Methods: Forty male Wistar Albino rats were randomly divided into four equal groups including 10 rats in each group. Groups 1, 2, and 3 were designed as the study, and Group 4 as the control group. In Group 1, 4 g sterile talc was given in the slurry form at 20 mL 0.9% saline solution, in Group 2 and Group 3 10% iodopovidone solution were given at 4% and 2% concentrations, respectively, and in Group 4, 0.9% saline was only administrated as 3 mL into the pleural space. All rats were sacrificed on Day 30 and evaluated for macroscopic and microscopic examination. Microscopic evaluation was performed for alveolar collapse, alveolar hemorrhage, alveolar infiltration and fibrosis. Brain, liver, and kidney tissues were also examined.
Results: Iodopovidone macroscopically caused a significant adhesion similar to sterile talc at a concentration of 4%. The pleurodesis effect of iodopovidone at a concentration of 4% was significantly similar to talc, when microscopic parameters were evaluated. Granulomas due to sterile talc were observed in the opposite hemithorax. Brain, liver, and kidney examinations revealed no systemic distribution for both agents.
Conclusion: Iodopovidone is a powerful alternative to sterile talc with its easy accessibility and low cost. In this study, 4% iodopovidone was found to provide effective and safe pleurodesis in rats. We believe that the use of this concentration in clinical studies would provide more effective results.

Introduction And Importance: Managing refractory pancreatic effusion due to porous diaphragm syndrome (PDS) is a challenge. Various surgical interventions such as repairing the defect, sealing with fibrin glue, performing parietal pleurectomy, and talc pleurodesis have been reported however, the use of composite mesh placement in treating PDS has not been described in the literature.
Case Presentation: All three male patients with a low body mass index were diagnosed with pancreatic disease as described in cases 1-3 and associated pancreatic effusion.

Medical Thoracoscopy (MT) is commonly performed by respiratory physicians for diagnostic as well as therapeutic purposes. The aim of the study was to provide evidence-based information regarding all aspects of MT, both as a diagnostic tool and therapeutic aid for pulmonologists across India. The consensus-based guidelines were formulated based on a multistep process using a set of 31 questions.

Background: Secondary pneumothorax, which occurs most commonly in the elderly, is caused by underlying diseases. Cardiac dysfunction and other organ inefficiencies may render surgical repair impossible. Such non-operative and poor-risk cases are targets for pleurodesis, which involves the instillation of chemicals or irritants to the thoracic cavity through injection, bronchoscopic bronchial occlusion, or other procedures.

Article Synopsis
- Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human cells improve heart conditions by reducing atrial fibrosis, inflammation, and the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in a rat model of pericarditis.
- A study tested different doses of EVs injected into the atrial wall during surgery, finding that higher doses significantly decreased AF risk and atrial fibrosis while also reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.
- The positive effects were specifically linked to EVs from heart cells, as those from other sources like bone marrow or umbilical cords did not show the same benefits, suggesting a targeted therapeutic approach may be effective in preventing postoperative AF.
