We report a case of bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax with critical collapse of both lungs in a previously healthy 33-year-old man. During the right-sided bullectomy, washing fluid flowed into the left thoracic cavity. Thereafter, thoracography confirmed a communication with bilateral pleural spaces. Careful thoracoscopic inspection revealed a 1.5-cm-long pleural window posterior to the inferior pulmonary ligament and located between the aorta and esophagus. Direct suturing followed by packing with a polyglycolic acid sheet and fibrin glue was performed to close the pleural window. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Background: The locus coeruleus (LC) is one of the earliest regions accumulating tau pathology in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). As the disease progresses, tau in the LC has been linked to increasing cortical tau and amyloid-beta (Aβ) pathologies and cognitive decline. Previous animal research suggested that novelty-like phasic LC activity protects against AD-related cognitive decline.
