Evaluating the effects of a hospital utilisation improvement program on platelet transfusions: A pre‐post study

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Annually millions of platelet concentrate (PC) are transfused worldwide. The decision regarding PC transfusion is often complex; therefore, the implementation of a hospital programme designed to streamline and facilitate the decision‐making process is beneficial. Such a programme helps standardise transfusion practices, ensures that

Respiratory Involvement in HIST1H1E‐Related Rahman Syndrome: A Case of Severe Mixed Apnea

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 4, Page 937-946, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Rahman syndrome (HIST1H1E‐related neurodevelopmental syndrome, OMIM #617537) is a rare autosomal‐dominant condition caused by truncating variants in the C‐terminal domain of the HIST1H1E gene. It is characterized by macrocephaly, hypotonia, craniofacial anomalies, and multisystem anomalies.

Who Needs Endoscopic Removal of Food Residue From the Esophagus Before Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Esophageal Achalasia and Esophagogastric Junction Outflow Obstruction?

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an established treatment for esophageal achalasia. Despite favorable outcomes, the risk of reflux aspiration during general anesthesia induction in POEM remains a concern. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for food residue in the esophagus before POEM and evaluate the necessity of ...

A prospective randomized crossover manikin study comparing GlideScope® video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy for impacted fish bone removal in a simulated difficult airway

Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Background Fish bone ingestion is a common emergency presentation. Direct laryngoscopy (DL) is the conventional bedside technique, but it can be limited in anatomically challenging airways. Video laryngoscopy (VL) improves glottic visualization for intubation, yet its role in foreign body retrieval is unclear. Because difficult airway features

Inflammatory Markers Stratify Surgical Outcomes in Pediatric Airway Reconstruction

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 4, Page 1920-1927, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) predicts surgical success in adult patients undergoing open airway reconstruction for laryngotracheal stenosis, but similar biomarkers in pediatrics remain unidentified. This study identifies predictors of outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing triple endoscopy or surgical airway ...

Immunosuppression and Surgery‐Free Interval in Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis Airway Stenosis

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 4, Page 1858-1865, April 2026.
Subglottic and tracheal stenosis are severe manifestations of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) that often require both endoscopic intervention and systemic immunosuppression. Rituximab may help stabilize GPA‐related airway disease by prolonging the interval between endoscopic procedures and delaying relapse.

CT‐Based Comparison of Tracheostomy Placement Accuracy: Open Versus Percutaneous Approaches

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 4, Page 1694-1701, April 2026.
This study provides the first objective CT‐based comparison of tracheostomy placement accuracy between open surgical and percutaneous techniques in 503 patients. Both methods achieved comparable stoma positioning relative to the cricoid cartilage, while patient factors and surgeon expertise had a greater impact on placement accuracy than the surgical ...
