“…Chylothorax is a rare clinical entity that is characterized by the pathological accumulation of a triglyceride-laden fluid (chyle) within the pleural space. It is diagnosed by the identification of chylomicrons using lipoprotein electrophoresis of pleural fluid or a pleural fluid triglyceride level >110 mg/dL [ 2 ]. While chylothorax is an exudative effusion in the vast majority of cases, it should be distinguished from a transudative effusion.…”

The presence of chyle in the pleural cavity is referred to as chylothorax. Exudative chylothorax is usually related to damage or obstruction of the lymphatic vasculature with subsequent leakage into the pleural space. In contrast, transudative chylothorax is related to increased hydrostatic pressure caused by elevated intra-abdominal pressure, which leads to the translocation of chylous fluid into the pleural space. Cirrhosis is the most common cause of transudative chylothorax, commonly presenting with ascites and portal hypertension. To the best of our knowledge, isolated transudative chylothorax as a consequence of cirrhosis is exceptionally rare and has been scarcely reported in the literature. We herein report a female patient in her fifties who presented to our hospital with isolated unilateral transudative hepatic chylothorax, with no clinical evidence of cirrhosis or any stigmata of portal hypertension at the time of presentation.

“…Chylothorax is defined as the accumulation of chyle in the pleural space and confirmed by thoracocentesis showing a triglycerides concentration of more than 110 mg/dL or positive chylomicrons in the pleural fluid [ 1 , 2 ]. Chylothorax formation has an extensive list of traumatic and non-traumatic etiologies.…”

Metabolic Response to Oral Challenge of Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate Versus Glucose In Diabetes

et al. 1990

Our objective was to determine whether 1) hydrogenated starch hydrolysates (HSHs), bulking/sweetening agents used in hard candies, produce a diminished postmeal glycemic response relative to glucose in individuals with and without diabetes and 2) any diminished glycemia is secondary to altered carbohydrate absorption. This study followed a randomized double-blind crossover design and was performed in 12 individuals with diabetes (6 non-insulin dependent, 6 insulin dependent) and 6 nondiabetic individuals. Each group consisted of 3 men and 3 women, none with known neuropathy. After an overnight fast, each subject was challenged with 50 g of glucose, HSH 5875 (7% sorbitol/60% maltitol), and HSH 6075 (14% sorbitol/78% hydrogenated maltooligosaccharides)/1.73 m2 of body surface area in random order on 3 successive days. Individuals with diabetes were maintained on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion throughout the study to achieve prechallenge glucose levels between 4.5 and 6.7 mM. For all groups, the order of plasma glucose responses over 5 h postchallenge was glucose greater than HSH 6075 greater than HSH 5875, P less than 0.001 (glucose vs. HSH). Pooled data for all groups for areas under the curve confirmed that HSH 6075 resulted in greater glycemia than HSH 5875 (P less than 0.05). This was reflected in the order of C-peptide responses seen in the nondiabetic and non-insulin-dependent groups (glucose greater than HSH 6075 greater than HSH 5875, P less than 0.001). Breath H2 after glucose was low, whereas HSH 5875 greater than HSH 6075 (P = 0.003). Gastric distress was noticed with all products.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
