A common presentation of Contarini syndrome in our setting is the coexistence of pleural tuberculosis and hepatic hydrothorax. This case report illustrates this unique combination.
@YCGaryLee@accpchest@Nickmaskell1 Agree with Gary Lee — no strong data on optimal drain size in secondary pneumothorax.
That said, we tend to favor large-bore tubes (>14 Fr) in selected cases:
• persistent air leak
• significant symptoms with poor pulmonary reserve
• mechanical ventilation

The detection of pleural effusion using ultrasound is associated with higher rates of hospitalization, mechanical ventilation, and mortality, particularly in cases with larger effusion volumes. Many thanks to all the researchers involved.

Pleural effusion detected by thoracic ultrasound is one of the best predictors of quality of life in patients with heart failure. Thanks to my mentor, Dr. Porcel, for this collaboration #pleuraleffusion#POCUS
We delivered the pleuropulmonary ultrasound workshop to 200 Mexican pulmonologists at Pulmomeeting 2024, demonstrating the power of the most game-changing diagnostic tool in decades.
@ErickRendonMD@PerlaRcp@uanl Well deserved. A brilliant pulmonologist and well recognized expert in pleural diseases. I honored to be considered your teacher
It is a privilege to be part of the national system of researchers in my country. I am grateful to my institution HU UANL, to my wife, Dra. Perla Colunga, the most brilliant researcher in the world, and to my mentor in pleural disease, Dr. Porcel
New @ERSpublications with @JoseMPorcel@EuroRespSoc. Big picture of pleural advances all on minimising intervention. IPC (recurrent effusion); tPA/DNase (infection); conservative PneumoThx Rx; stop surgery (mesothelioma) etc. Keep going! https://t.co/iDooOugIMV @PleuralPOCUS
We invite you to the 7th edition of the Toracic Ultrasound Workshop Course, where we will explore the extensive clinical application of ultrasound in decision-making. The event is scheduled for September 7, 2024. Attendance is free (certificate fee applies).
