Why does catamenial pneumothorax (pneumothorax that recurs with menstruation) almost always occur on the right side?

Why doesn't it affect both sides of the chest equally?

Using an anticholinergic like oxybutynin for more than 3 months increases dementia risk by almost 50 percent, so please explain to me why insurance companies insist I prescribe them instead of mirabegron.

It’s like they ask me to break my oath to women everyday.
