Does vEGF correlate with inflammation and fibrosis in tuberculous pleural effusion?
Effusion VEGF correlates with pleural inflammation and fibrosis and may be targeted for adjunct therapy for TBPE.
A trend toward higher force cycles to failure in nondisplaced and 2-screw groups was observed. Higher force cycles correspond to greater physeal stability and thus decreased risk for subsequent displacement. Within displacement groups, adding a second screw did not significantly increase stability. Reduction of displaced SCFE also did not significantly increase stability. Only the D1 and N2 groups were significantly different.
