Book
Southern accents
By 1985 Tom Petty had already obtained legendary status. He had fame. He had money. But he was restless, hoping to stretch his artistry beyond the confining format of songs like The Waiting and Refugee. Initially conceiving a concept album about the American South, Petty, mired in excess and indulgence, lost the thread of the concept, then entirely jettisoned his ambitions for a concept record. In frustration Petty broke his hand while trying to mix the record, casting doubt on his ability to ever play guitar gain. The result is a hodgepodge of classic rock songs mixed with nearly unlistenable second-rate 80s music. While touring for the album, Petty made use of the iconography of the American Confederacy, aligning himself with portions of his audience he did not feel in sync with. Still, despite its artistic failure, Southern Accents was a pivot point for Petty. Reeling from the defeat, Petty reinvented himself as a Californian, obtaining his biggest success with Full Moon Fever. Michael Washburn explores the history of Southern Accents and how it sparked Petty's reinvention. Washburn explores the flawed idea of using romantic notions of American South as a basis for art and identity and opens up an examination of the southernization of America.

Supplemental Oxygen for Patients with Interstitial Lung Disease: Managing Expectations
Tom Petty, MD, from Adventures of an Oxy-Phile2 Since 1965, when Dr. Petty first filled the prototype of a portable oxygen tank with liquid oxygen and pilot tested supplemental oxygen therapy (O2) on six patients with hypoxia, O2 has become a mainstay of therapy for many patients with chronic lung disease. Absent robust, disease-specific data, scientific rationale, clinical experience, extrapolation of data from the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) literature (1, 2), and results from a handful of single-center studies (3, 4) have suggested a beneficial role for O2 in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The household-altering challenges O2 presents remind us that it should be prescribed to patients with ILD who need it only after a detailed discussion that includes an educational overview of O2, recommendations for how to use it (correctly), and disclosure of what hardships and benefits the patient (and their caregiver) might expect from O2.

Long-Term Oxygen Therapy: The Three Big Questions
In the United States, well over a million people receive long-term oxygen therapy (most of them with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) (6), a number that greatly exceeds the per capita rate in any other country (7).

Overdose response
According to the US National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Drug Abuse, almost one-third of overdoses involving opioids also involve benzos. [...]the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), among other regulatory bodies, has repeatedly tried to highlight the risks of prescriptions for both types of drug. [...]they turned to cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM), a technique that fires beams of electrons at proteins that have been frozen in solution, and that is rapidly overtaking conventional techniques for solving the structures of the more complicated human proteins.
