Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways

Allergy, EarlyView.
Seven genes and two gene modules were consistently associated with asthma in both airway compartments in ARMS and were validated in ATLANTIS. The two modules reflected IL‐13 related inflammation and mast cell activity, respectively. Nasal gene signatures provide a non‐invasive proxy for selected bronchial asthma‐associated gene signatures.

Is Asthma Remission a New Achievable Goal? A Review of the Current Drug‐Related Evidence and Predictors

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in asthma therapies have shown that clinical remission may be an achievable therapeutic goal for patients with asthma. This review discusses the current definitions of remission in asthma, the predictors of remission, airway inflammation/epithelial damage in asthma remission, airway remodeling, paradigms in defining remission and ...

Effect of Dupilumab on Airway Inflammation in Patients With Persistent Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
EXPEDITION (NCT02573233) assessed the effects of dupilumab on airway inflammation in patients with persistent asthma using bronchoscopy and gene expression analysis. Dupilumab showed no appreciable effect on inflammatory cell types in biopsies or BALF samples.

Deficiency of Mitochondrial Fatty Acid Enzyme, CPT1A, Underlies Airway Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction in Severe Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial fatty acid enzyme, CPT1A, is deficient in the airway epithelium of severe asthma patients. Restoration of CPT1A expression improved epithelial barrier integrity via increasing mitochondrial respiration and ATP production in airway epithelial cells. Restoration of deficient epithelial CPT1A may represent a new treatment approach for severe

The Airway Transcriptome in Type 2 Cytokine Biomarker‐High and ‐Low Severe Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study distinguishes severe asthma–related airway transcriptomic changes from the effects of high‐dose ICS. Most dysregulated genes in severe asthma show concordance with corticosteroid responses. Corticosteroid‐resistant T2‐high asthma featured T2‐high and epithelial barrier gene upregulation, while T2‐low asthma featured Th1/IL‐17 signatures. ASM,

Simulation‐Based Education for Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Emergency Procedures in the South Pacific: A Pilot Study

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
A one‐day regional simulation course significantly improved confidence in five emergency OHNS procedures among South Pacific surgeons and trainees, with improvements sustained at 6 months. Two‐thirds reported applying course skills clinically, supporting simulation‐based education as a feasible approach to regional surgical capacity building.

Flexible bronchoscopy insufflated and high-flow nasal oxygen pilot trial (BUFFALO protocol pilot trial)

Pilot and Feasibility Studies
Background Hypoxaemia occurs in approximately 30% of children during anaesthesia for flexible bronchoscopy. High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) can prolong safe apnoea time and be used in children with abnormal airways.

Progressive Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Diagnosis Masking Pneumonic Lung Carcinoma: Anchoring Bias in Critical Care

Cytopathology, EarlyView.
A presumed case of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis with clinical deterioration was ultimately identified at autopsy as pneumonic‐type pleomorphic carcinoma. This case highlights the diagnostic overlap between diffuse lung diseases and the risk of anchoring bias in critically ill patients.
