Inhaled Heparin to Shorten Antibiotic Duration in Ventilator‐Associated Pneumonia: A Randomized Double‐Blind Controlled Trial

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Prolonged antibiotic therapy in ventilator‐associated pneumonia (VAP) contributes to antimicrobial resistance. Inhaled heparin has pleiotropic anti‐inflammatory and mucolytic properties. This trial evaluated whether adjunctive nebulized heparin reduces antibiotic duration in VAP using a procalcitonin (PCT)‐guided ...

Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte Therapy Combined With PD‐1/LAG‐3 Inhibition in Patients With Recurrent Platinum‐Resistant Ovarian Cancer

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 7, Page 1735-1749, 1 October 2026.
The detection of tumor‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is a positive prognostic factor in ovarian cancer. Moreover, TILs are significantly boosted by immunotherapy, though ovarian cancer patients have seen limited benefit from immune therapies. This study investigated the safety and feasibility of TIL therapy combined with PD‐1 and LAG‐3 inhibitors in ...

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...

Lowering the C‐Reactive Protein (CRP) Threshold Improves Risk Stratification in Acute Ulcerative Colitis: A Propensity‐Matched Analysis

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 64, Issue 7, Page 985-1000, October 2026.
In 503 acute UC admissions, colectomy risk was equivalent between TWC‐positive ASUC and NASUC inpatients after propensity score matching for objective disease severity and treatment exposure; lowering the CRP threshold to ≥ 12 mg/L reclassified 26% of NASUC cases as ASUC and captured 43% of those requiring colectomy within one year, improving ...
