Management of airway obstruction [PDF]

BJA Education, 2018
Key points • Patients with airway obstruction are high risk; they should be managed by senior anaesthetic and surgical staffs that have good technical and non-technical skills. • There is no universal ‘best approach’ with experts often providing differing opinions on optimal management.

AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION IN CHILDREN [PDF]

Medical Journal Armed Forces India, 1995
Seventeen children presenting with airway obstruction have been studied to highlight the similar clinical features of different etiological conditions, their diagnostic limitations, and the importance of early bronchoscopy. There were 8 patients with foreign body in lower airway, out of which 6 were vegetable foreign bodies.

Upper airways obstruction [PDF]

British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2000
The tongue falling backwards and blocking the nasopharynx is the commonest cause of upper airway obstruction. However, it may be due to blood, vomit, oedema, or trauma. The mouth should be inspected and any foreign material removed manually or by suction. There are three manoeuvres to improve upper airway obstruction. 1. Head tilt.

Dexamethasone Delivery via Amphiphilic, Low‐swelling Hydrogels Treats Postoperative Inflammation in Cervical Spine Applications

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.
DexaPatch, an implantable, low‐swelling amphiphilic hydrogel system containing dexamethasone‐PLGA microparticles, is developed and characterized for sustained local steroid release to reduce postoperative inflammation in tight surgical spaces. DexaPatch significantly reduces postoperative edema and fibrosis in a rabbit model of anterior spinal surgery,

A Multimodal Humidity Adaptive Optical Neuron Based on a MoWS2/VOx Heterojunction for Vision and Respiratory Functions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional memristor is demonstrated for in‐memory sensing and computing, leveraging a MoWS₂/VOx heterojunction to enable high ON/OFF ratio up to 10⁸ with ultralow operating voltages of ±0.2 V. This bio‐inspired multimodal design exhibits tunable synaptic behavior across electrical, optical, and humidity stimuli, enabling in situ modulation of ...

3D Printed Magnetic Origami Scaffolds for Guided Tissue Assembly

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
3D‐printed magnetic origami scaffolds enhance 3D coculture by directing cell proliferation pre‐folding, restricting expansion for controlled growth within the channel, and spatially and temporally promoting 3D multicellular dissemination post‐folding.

4D Bioprinted Self‐Folding Scaffolds Enhance Cartilage Formation in the Engineering of Trachea

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
A bilayer self‐folding scaffold, triggerable by humidity, is fabricated via 4D bioprinting for trachea engineering. An analytical model is derived to predict its radius of curvature, enabling its scalability. Cartilage progenitor cells seeded on the scaffold perceive scaffold final curvature and react to it, by enhancing the upregulation of pro ...

Bilirubin Targeting WNK1 to Alleviate NLRP3‐Mediated Neuroinflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
At physiological concentrations, bilirubin binds to the kinase domain of WNK1, thereby augmenting its activity and facilitating the phosphorylation of downstream SPAK/OSR1. This phosphorylation inhibits KCC2 activity, leading to elevate intracellular chloride levels in neurons.

AAVR Expression is Essential for AAV Vector Transduction in Sensory Hair Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Decreased sensitivity to AAV vector transduction in the outer hair cells (OHCs) of adult mice is primarily attributed to reduction of AAVR (Kiaa0319l; Au040320). Knockout of AAVR reduces AAV vector transduction efficiency in both inner hair cells (IHCs) and OHCs in neonatal mice.

Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in Ciliopathies: Emerging Insights and Therapeutic Implications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HDAC6 regulates primary cilia, crucial for cellular signalling and environmental responses. Dysregulation of HDAC6 contributes to ciliopathies, affecting multiple organs. This review examines HDAC6's role in ciliogenesis, its interaction with signaling molecules, and its potential as a therapeutic target.
