Evaluation of Systemic Inflammatory Markers in Predicting Malignancy in Parotid Gland Tumors

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Preoperative systemic inflammatory indices may assist in distinguishing benign from malignant parotid tumors. In this cohort of 259 patients undergoing parotidectomy, malignant tumors were associated with higher neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (PLR) values, as well as larger tumor size and older age.

Endothelial Hydrogels Improve Microvascular Regeneration and Perfusion in Tracheal Scaffolds

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Insufficient vascularization remains a major barrier to successful tracheal transplantation. This study demonstrates that an endothelial hydrogel significantly enhances graft perfusion and neovessel organization compared to non‐endothelial hydrogel controls.

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Molecular Staging, Risk Factors, Therapeutics, and Emerging Trends

Med Research, EarlyView.
The heterogeneous landscape of DPN can be unified through a tripartite pathogenic model encompassing progressive stages of metabolic dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and overt neuronal damage. Within this framework, six clinical subtypes were identified, namely, hyperglycemia‐driven, dyslipidemia‐driven, inflammation‐driven, dysvascularity‐driven ...

Is Saturation Biopsy Still a Viable Alternative to Fusion Biopsy in the Era of Multiparametric MRI? A Comparative Analysis in Patients With Prior Negative Biopsy

The Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)‐guided saturation biopsy (SB) and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI)‐TRUS fusion‐guided combined biopsy (CB) in patients with prior negative prostate biopsies. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data from 160 patients who underwent transrectal prostate biopsy ...

The scale matters: A review on stimuli‐responsive microrobots categorized by scale for biomedical applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
We systematically summarize how each scale dictates fundamental choices in design feature, manufacturing technology, driving mechanism, and control strategy, which are inherently governed by scale‐dominated physical principles. Furthermore, the application of scale‐determined operation modes of microrobots across different stages of medical ...

Liquid Biopsy Differentiation of Pancreatic Cancer From Non‐Cancerous Pancreatic Disease Using Dielectrophoresis‐Recovered Nanoparticles Carrying Cell‐Free DNA and Protein Biomarkers

Small, EarlyView.
A new nanoparticle‐based biomarker panel is described that can differentiate pancreatic cancer from benign pancreatic disease with a high level of performance. This was enabled by microelectrode array recovery technology that used dielectrophoresis (DEP) to quickly and efficiently recover the nanoparticles from patient plasma samples, followed by on ...
