On a coutume d’opposer les signes cliniques aux signes paracliniques, ou avec les résultats d’examens dits complémentaires. Mais que sont les signes cliniques? Sont-ils ceux dont disposerait un médecin(avec son savoir, sa compétence, son expérience) sans autres moyens que ses cinq sens? La vision, le toucher(ou la palpation), l'audition(ou l'auscultation directe), l'odorat, le goût. Il faut bien admettre que les deux derniers ont peu d’importance dans la clinique moderne. L'auscultation(même médiate par le stéthoscope) a pris moins d’importance en cardiologie ou en pneumologie. 1, record 3, French, - auscultation%20directe

Methotrexate was also contraindicated by pleural effusion and the risk of delayed excretion of methotrexate causing increased toxicity. The patient chose instead to have a doxycycline pleurodesis. Unfortunately, this procedure was unsuccessful and pleural fluid reaccumulated, causing further shortness of breath. 2, record 5, English, - pleurodesis

Plusieurs agents chimiques ont été utilisés, en les injectant dans la cavité pleurale, pour créer des adhésions entre les 2 feuillets pleuraux et par conséquent favoriser la symphyse pleurale[...] La rentabilité du talcage pleural, selon plusieurs auteurs, est supérieure à celle de la symphyse pleurale par tétracycline. 2, record 5, French, - pleurod%C3%A8se
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Les indications de la pleurodèse sont dominées par les pneumothorax récidivants ou chroniques et les pleurésies néoplasiques. Cependant certaines pleurésies mécaniques et des chylothorax secondaires échappent à un traitement étiologique efficace et évoluent vers des récidives fréquentes ou la chronicité nécessitant aussi le recours à une symphyse pleurale thérapeutique. Différents agents et moyens permettent d’atteindre un tel objectif.(Relevé dans Revue de pneumologie clinique, 1994, 50(2) 51-56, cité dans la base de données PASCAL.) 1, record 5, French, - pleurod%C3%A8se
