push enteroscopy(English)
- technique that allows mucosal visualization, tissue sampling and therapeutic intervention in the small bowel. The use of PE has been questioned with the advent of double balloon enteroscopy (DBE). Whilst PE can reach up to 80 cm beyond the ligament of Treitz, DBE allows greater depth of insertion via the anterograde and retrograde approach into the mid-small bowel

pleural effusion(English)
- the mechanism of pleural effusion caused by pulmonary embolus is usually increased interstitial fluid in the lungs as a result of ischemia or the release of vasoactive cytokines. Approximately 75% of patients with pulmonary emboli and pleural effusion have pleuritic chest pain. The most common cause of pleuritic chest pain and pleural effusion in patients under 40 years old is pulmonary emboli. If d-dimer results are positive, then a spiral computed tomograph should be obtained to confirm the diagnosis. Low-molecular-weight-heparin has become the initial treatment of choice for patients with pulmonary emboli and pleural effusion
