#PLEURAL_PEARLS_WA 35 Diaphragmatic #pleural reflection extends far below the #lung esp posterio-laterally. Percutaneous hepatic procedures often transgress the pleura; any bleeding or bile leak (see https://t.co/gHHF3n4pOM) can accumulate as pleural effusion. #LiverTwitter

Large (>80%) primary spontaneous pneumoThx are as successfully managed by conservative care (ie no drainage) as smaller ones. See @ERSpublications sub-analysis of the PSP trial by @GKeijzers_EM @MichDonaghy @First_do_noharm Drs Weatherall+Beasley+Ball+Simpson @PleuralPOCUS

An inspiring breakfast with Professor Kazu this morning, following an excellent 3 days at the Interventional Bronchoscopy Masterclass. Lots of hands on training with expert teaching and lots of new skills learnt.
Breakfast with a champion, Professor Kazuhiro Yasufuku, a pioneer in interventional pulmonology and lung transplant surgery from @UHN. Inspiring the upcoming generation of respiratory specialists. #inspiration

Time to farewell/welcome #pleural fellows. Big thankyou to Sam Faber (middle) for hardwork in 2022 esp during chaotic #WA border opening. Set the standard for Michaela (Belfast) + Matthew (Sydney)! It was exactly 25 yrs ago I moved here to do my Fellowship with Prof Musk!
