Mapping Bullous Emphysema With Lung Ultrasound: A Prospective Multicentre Study
Respirology, Volume 30, Issue 7, Page 633-643, July 2025.This study confirms the existence of the ‘bulla‐point’, a sonographic sign echoing the lung‐point associated with pneumothorax. Other signs of pneumothorax such as absent lung sliding or barcode sign are also prevalent in bullous emphysema, especially in patients with high pulmonary distension or in apical regions.

Iodine pleurodesis—a word of caution† [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2011 We read with interest the article by Mohsen et al .[ 1] and the associated editorial by Astoul [2] concerning a randomized trial comparing povidone–iodine and talc poudrage pleurodesis for malignant pleural effusions. In their conclusion, intra-pleural iodine was found to have a good safety profile except for the occasional report of visual loss after ...

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1993 Talc was used intrapleurally for the creation of pleural adhesions in 360 patients. The indications for use were malignant pleural effusion in 169 patients, benign effusions in 41, recurrent pneumothorax in 122, empyema in 19, and chylothorax in 9. Of 336 patients available for follow-up, excellent results (complete pleurodesis) were achieved in 284 ...

Refractory Chylothorax in a Patient With Severe Mitral Regurgitation
Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.We report an unusual case of refractory chylothorax secondary to severe mitral regurgitation, with mitral valve replacement granting remission. We explore potential pathophysiological mechanisms and therapeutic options. This case highlights that treatment of the underlying cause is key to the successful management of chylothoraces. ABSTRACT We report a
