Cascade‐Responsive MXene@Cu‐MOF Heterostructure Integrates Antioxidant Activity, Infection Control, and Vascularization for Tracheal Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cascade‐responsive MXene@Cu‐MOF/GelMA hydrogel is engineered as a “skeleton–backpack” platform for extensive tracheal repair. The MXene framework scavenges postoperative ROS and converts NIR light into mild hyperthermia, while the Cu‐MOF component provides pH/NIR‐responsive Cu2+ dosing for infection control, angiogenesis, and chondrogenesis.

Soft Artificial Ciliary Brush with Integrated Haptic Feedback for Efficient Airway Mucus Cleaning

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A fundamental mucus cleaning mechanism is reported, which utilizes both artificial cilia mechanical sweeping and suction‐based mucus cleaning. A novel haptic feedback interface for the artificial cilia provides touch feedback on tissue contact, enhancing operator control and safety.

Pneumatocele triggered by continuous positive airway pressure after lung resection

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2020
A pneumatocele is a cystic change of the lung that is caused by a check valve in the bronchiole due to infection, trauma and positive-pressure ventilation. We herein report a case of pneumatocele triggered by using of continuous positive airway pressure (

Phenotype Expansion of Malan Syndrome: New Cases and a Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malan syndrome is an ultra‐rare overgrowth syndrome caused by pathogenic variants or deletions in nuclear factor one X (NFIX) located at 19p13.2. Here, we report a comprehensive literature review and phenotyping of known patients with Malan syndrome and present a novel cohort of eight patients.

Therapeutic alternatives with CPAP in obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]

, 2019
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), characterized by airflow cessation (apnea) or reduction (hypopnea) due to repeated pharyngeal obstructions during sleep, causes frequent disruption of sleep and hypoxic events. The condition is linked to many adverse health

Homozygous Achondroplasia With Long‐Term Survival: Growth Patterns, Medical Interventions, and Practice Implications

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Homozygous achondroplasia is widely considered perinatal lethal by the medical community. In this case series, we report two children from a single family with longer‐term survival. One child lived for 17 months and the other was 60 months at the time of publication.

Treatment of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing with positive airway pressure systems

European Respiratory Review, 2007
Positive airway pressure systems are widely used to treat patients with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep-disordered breathing. The application of stable continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) via the nose (nasal CPAP) has been the mainstay of ...
