Age‐associated immune dysregulation links to disease severity in macrolide‐resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia: Insights from a comparative juvenile–adult mouse model

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Macrolide‐resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MRMP) infected both juvenile and adult mice, with results compared to normal juvenile mice. The findings revealed comparable bacterial loads between juvenile and adult mice, yet juvenile mice exhibited more severe lung damage and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines.

Location of Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Children

open access: yesPediatric Respirology and Critical Care Medicine, 2019
Background: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a useful procedure in the diagnosis and treatment of several respiratory diseases. The right middle lobe or lingula is the preferred location of BAL in diffuse lung disease.

Increased Plasma Microbial tDR‐1 in At‐Risk Individuals Is Associated With Decreased Conversion to Clinical Rheumatoid Arthritis and Reduces an In Vitro Macrophage Type 1 Interferon Response

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Microbial small RNAs can regulate human genes. Higher plasma concentrations of microbial transfer RNA (tRNA)‐derived RNA‐1 (tDR‐1) were previously associated with lower rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity. This study examined whether tDR‐1 concentrations differ in anticyclic citrullinated peptide‐3 positive (CCP3+) at‐risk individuals (

Bronchoalveolar lavage. [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Disease in Childhood, 1994
Bronchoalveolar lavage has a well established role in the diagnosis of pulmonary infections, particularly those due to opportunistic organisms in an immunocompromised host. Recent studies of infants and adults with inflammatory lung disease have helped our understanding of the mechanisms underlying these disorders and their responses to treatment. With

Compliant hydrogel cuff coating with real‐time pressure monitoring and antibiofilm capabilities for ventilator‐associated pneumonia prophylaxis

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
A soft‐compliant hydrogel cuff coating combines real‐time pressure monitoring with intrinsic antibacterial activity for prophylaxis of ventilator‐associated pneumonia. A flexible pressure‐sensing patch is embedded in the coating to enable wireless dynamic monitoring of endotracheal cuff pressure through Bluetooth.

Glycopolymeric nanoparticles transported by activated platelets protect ischemic myocardium by alleviating PANoptosis through targeting macrophage Dectin‐1

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
NP‐SF, designed to target macrophage Dectin‐1 and activated platelets, selectively accumulated in ischemic myocardium, where it was taken up by macrophages after platelet hitchhiking. By inhibiting NLRC5‐related PANoptosis, NP‐SF significantly attenuated pathological damage, and effectively preserved cardiac function in a murine ischemia–reperfusion ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Clinical variability of equine asthma phenotypes and analysis of diagnostic steps in phenotype differentiation

open access: yesActa Veterinaria Scandinavica
Background Equine asthma is a common, non-infectious, chronic lung disease that affects up to 80% of the horse population. Strict phenotyping and identification of subclinically asthmatic horses can be challenging.

Human Metapneumovirus and Its Association With Otorhinolaryngological Manifestations: A Systematic Review With Descriptive Synthesis

open access: yesEye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a respiratory virus that predominantly affects the pediatric population. Its role as an infective agent in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) diseases is not yet well understood. To systematically review the available literature on the association between HMPV and ENT manifestations, following PRISMA guidelines, a ...
