Recent Advances in Laser‐Induced Graphene‐Based Gas Sensors: From Sensing Mechanisms to Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Laser‐induced graphene (LIG) provides a scalable, laser‐direct‐written route to porous graphene architecture with tunable chemistry and defect density. Through heterojunction engineering, catalytic functionalization, and intrinsic self‐heating, LIG achieves highly sensitive and selective detection of NOX, NH3, H2, and humidity, supporting next ...

Management of COPD [PDF]

open access: yesThorax, 2003
In their recent review1 MacNee and Calverley provided an excellent summary of the management of COPD. However, I question their assertions regarding domiciliary oxygen. Citing the work of Gorecka et al 2 and Chaouat et al ,3 it is stated that domiciliary oxygen does not benefit patients with relatively mild hypoxaemia or isolated nocturnal desaturation.

Anticipated barriers and facilitators for implementing smart inhalers in asthma medication adherence management

open access: yesnpj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine, 2023
Smart inhalers are electronic monitoring devices which are promising in increasing medication adherence and maintaining asthma control. A multi-stakeholder capacity and needs assessment is recommended prior to implementation in healthcare systems.

Heterojunction‐Engineered Mass Spectrometry Platform for Deciphering Serum Metabolic Fingerprints in Diagnosis of Respiratory Diseases

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Hollow Co3O4/TiO2 heterojunctions are engineered for high‐throughput laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. The built‐in electric field drives efficient charge separation and photothermal conversion, while the hierarchical mesoporous network enables robust salt and protein tolerance.

Exacerbations of COPD [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Review, 2018
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide. While COPD is a mainly chronic disease, a substantial number of patients suffer from exacerbations. Severe exacerbations are related to a significantly worse survival outcome.

Serum periostin does not reflect type 2-driven inflammation in COPD

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2018
Although Th2 driven inflammation is present in COPD, it is not clearly elucidated which COPD patients are affected. Since periostin is associated with Th2 driven inflammation and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)-response in asthma, it could function as a ...

Risks and Benefits of Feeding Enterostomy Creation During Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy: A Propensity‐Weighted Analysis Using the Japanese National Clinical Database

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Feeding enterostomy during MIE was evaluated in 19 054 patients from the Japanese NCD using propensity weighting. Enterostomy was associated with higher reoperation and respiratory complications, but lower delayed gastric emptying and deep vein thrombosis, with no significant difference in overall bowel obstruction.

Characteristics of Anal Fistula Cancer in Patients Who Underwent Surgery: A Nationwide Observational Study Using Diagnosis Procedure Combination Data

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The characteristics of patients with anal fistula cancer included a higher proportion of men, younger age, more smokers, and tumor‐related characteristics, including more advanced local progression. Surgical characteristics included a lower rate of minimally invasive surgery, a higher proportion of total pelvic exenterations, and longer postoperative ...
