Evaluation of the IDEXX Procyte Dx Analyzer for the Measurement of Total and Differential Cellular Counts of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid in Healthy Beagles and Dogs with Lower Respiratory Tract Diseases

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) analysis is a key diagnostic tool in veterinary respiratory medicine. The IDEXX ProCyte Dx analyzer was developed for blood formulation and cellular counting in various fluids, but its applicability for BALF analysis remains unexplored.

Efficacy of ultrasound versus video-bronchoscopy in confirming correct placement of i-gel®: A prospective observational study

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia
Background and Aims: Supraglottic airway devices (SADs), such as the i-gel®, are widely used during general anaesthesia but are susceptible to intraoperative displacement. Although clinical methods are commonly employed for confirming placement, they may

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

CCR2/CCR5 Signaling Defines a Pathogenic Interstitial Macrophage Subset That Drives Severe Asthma

Clinical and Translational Allergy, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
In mouse model of severe asthma, protective resident alveolar macrophages are depleted and replaced by monocyte‐derived populations, particularly a Lyve1loMHCIIhi interstitial macrophage subset enriched for Ccr2/Ccr5 and inflammatory gene programs. Blocking this subset with a dual CCR2/CCR5 antagonist reduces airway inflammation, restores homeostasis ...

Bronchiectasis as an Underrecognized Extraintestinal Manifestation of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

JCC Plus, Volume 1, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, often presenting with extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs). The most prevalent pulmonary EIM is IBD‐associated bronchiectasis (IBD‐BE), which is often overlooked.

Endobronchial Aspergillosis Presenting as an Isolated Airway Lesion in an Immunocompromised Patient

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Endobronchial Aspergillus infection should be considered in immunocompromised patients presenting with airway obstruction, even in the absence of parenchymal lung involvement. This case highlights the potential for rapid clinical deterioration and the diagnostic challenges in distinguishing endobronchial aspergillosis from more aggressive forms of ...
