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 ...

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.

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
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 ...

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.

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 ...
