#PLEURAL_PEARLS_WA 21-4 Thx for interests re: conservative care (no drainage) for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP trial NEJM 2020 nej.md/2Rzn2ju). The idea started with several studies in 1960’s (eg Stradling, Thorax 1966;21:145) and is thought-provoking- see video

Can Technology Help Us Eat Better? nytimes.com/2021/02/08/well/…. Great article featuring @AaronNeinstein. Congrats Aaron!
Right now, public discussion of the vaccines is full of warnings about their limitations, like: They’re not 100 percent effective. And: Even vaccinated people may be able to spread the virus. And: People shouldn’t change their behavior once they get their shots.

Massively controversial issue for which facts should have made it a no-brainer: 2020 edition: wearing a mask 2021: getting vaccinated Massively controversial issue that is legitimately a tough call & on which reasonable people can disagree: 2020: schools 2021: immunity passports

Great information
FAQs on Pfizer COVID vaccine. Thread 1.Which COVID vaccine should I get? Is one better than others? You should get the vaccine you are offered. Getting a large number of people vaccinated is more important than differences in vaccine efficacy

Very good
1/ Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 259 The vaccine news remains astoundingly positive. Reacting to my upbeat mood, a reporter asked me if there’s anything that keeps me up at night. Aside from the cataclysmic current state of Covid (likely to get worse, I fear), there are a few:
Complications following symptom-limited thoracentesis using suction erj.ersjournals.com/content/…. 10,344 patients. Controversy over?

Reading about chylothorax in Richard Light’s fantastic “Pleural Diseases” book. Came across “Lipophilic dye ingestion.” I haven’t tried it but his description makes me think I should!
