High-sensitivity troponin I concentrations are a marker of an advanced hypertrophic response and adverse outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis [PDF]
AIMS: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (cTnI) assays hold promise in detecting the transition from hypertrophy to heart failure in aortic stenosis.

Tracheobronchial and esophageal stentings for central airway and esophageal stenosis are performed as part of strategies to improve pulmonary functions, dysphagia, and quality of life (QOL) in patients with end-stage lung and esophagus. Most of these patients are inoperable or at high risk because of advanced age and cardiopulmonary failure.

Adolescent and adult laryngotracheal stenosis: a review
Background The larynx has multiple composite functions which include phonation, airway protection, and sensory control of respiration. Stenosis of the larynx and trachea were first recorded by O’Dwyer in 1885 and by Colles in 1886, respectively ...

LES of additive and non-additive pulsatile flows in a model arterial stenosis [PDF]
Transition of additive and non-additive pulsatile flows through a simple 3D model of arterial stenosis is investigated by using a large eddy simulation (LES) technique. We find in both the pulsatile cases that the interaction of the two shear layers, one

Use of the i-gel™ supraglottic airway device in a patient with subglottic stenosis -a case report- [PDF]
The airway management of patients with subglottic stenosis poses many challenges for the anesthesiologists. Many anesthesiologists use a narrow endotracheal tube for airway control. This, however, can lead to complications such as tracheal mucosal trauma,

Magnesium Alloys for use as an Intraluminal Tracheal Stent [PDF]
Tracheal stenting is used for successful management of adult airway obstructions, including tracheal stenosis, a narrowing of the tracheal lumen due to trauma or prolonged intubation.

Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...
