Donate to Zach the Silken Windhound was attacked, $20k medical bills., organized by Michael Scoble This is Zach. He is a 10-year-old Silken Windhound and I want… Michael Scoble needs your support for Zach the Silken Windhound was attacked, $20k medical bills.

Zach is in surgery as I type this note. With luck, skill and determination, I hope the surgeon finds all the leaky bits in Zach’s lungs and makes him stable and air-tight!

Zach is leaky. He produced a lot if air overnight. More diagnostics today. Surgery is likely.

My book, Zach Tragic is based on this silly boy. He is my avatar and my heart.

Ultrasound-guided cannulation for safer vein access A retrospective study evaluates the safety and efficacy of a novel ultrasound method for infraclavicular vein cannulation

Performed inaccurately, #cannulation of major veins is associated with complications like #pneumothorax or artery puncture. 🇨🇳 Chinese researchers propose a new #ultrasound guided method for increased accuracy.

🫁 New study by Rizvi et al shows outpatient CT-guided lung biopsy (CTGB) with ambulatory #pneumothorax management is safe & effective.

Overview and Management of Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax Being male, tall, and thin is hypothesized to increase the chance of having a PSP because of “higher distention pressures at the lung apex,” which may lead to bleb and bullae formation.
