Do Health Care Report Cards Cause Providers to Select Patients and Raise Quality of Care? [PDF]

open access: yes
We exploit a brief period of asymmetric information during the implementation of Pennsylvania’s “report card” scheme for coronary artery bypass graft surgery to test for improvements in quality of care and selection of patients by health care providers ...

Human iPSCs Derived MSCs‐Secreted Exosomes Modulate Senescent Nucleus Pulposus Cells Induced Macrophage Polarization via Metabolic Reprogramming to Mitigate Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Senescent nucleus pulposus cells drive inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization, exacerbating intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Conversely, M1 macrophages accelerate NP cell senescence, creating a vicious cycle. iPSCs‐derived mesenchymal stem cell (iMSCs) exosomes break this loop by delivering miR‐100‐5p to suppress mTORC1/glycolysis in ...

Visualization of the Spiral Ganglion Neuron in Vivo Using a Novel 177Lu Nuclear Molecule Label

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The study developed and validated a radionuclide‐labeled anti‐VGLUT1 antibody probe for the first nuclear imaging of cochlear spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in vivo. This approach may provide aid in screening candidates suitable for CI surgery by quantifying the number of surviving SGNs, and predicting the potential for postoperative hearing ...

Left ventricular fibromas in pediatric patients: a case series and review of the literature

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Cardiac fibromas are rare benign primary tumors of the heart; nearly one-third of affected patients are less than 1 year old, and only 15% of patients develop this disease in adulthood. Here, we report three cases of cardiac fibroma in our hospital.

Nasal Delivery of Engineered Exosomes via a Thermo‐Sensitive Hydrogel Depot Reprograms Glial Cells for Spinal Cord Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineered macrophage‐derived exosomes overexpressing GNA12 and GNA13 reprogram glial cells to promote neuroprotection and neural regeneration following SCI. A chitosan‐based thermosensitive hydrogel enables sustained intranasal exosome delivery, bypassing systemic barriers and enhancing therapeutic efficacy.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors are not overexpressed in pancreatic islets from patients with severe hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia following gastric bypass [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Aims/hypothesis: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors are highly overexpressed in benign insulinomas, permitting in vivo tumour visualisation with GLP-1 receptor scanning.
