Evaluating the Local Response of a Novel Injectable Capsule for Drug Delivery in the Trachea
A novel PLGA polymer capsule was developed for localized pretracheal drug delivery and evaluated for short‐term local tissue safety in a rabbit model. Implant placement was confirmed by ultrasound and was well tolerated over 14 days, with preservation of airway patency, native tracheal architecture, and biomechanical properties.

Early Distraction in Neonates With a Bioresorbable Plate for Bilateral Vocal Fold Immobility
We describe a novel surgical technique in two neonates with idiopathic bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI) using early posterior cricoid distraction with placement of a poly‐l‐lactic acid (PLLA) bioresorbable plate to improve the glottic aperture. Both patients experienced complete resolution of stridor and achieved full oral feeding within 2 weeks,

ABSTRACT Purpose Left ventricular (LV) strain is an early indicator of myocardial dysfunction. However, conventional strain metrics do not fully account for the multidirectional nature of myocardial deformation. The strain rate tensor, derived from velocity‐encoded MRI, represents the time‐resolved magnitude and direction of strain rate without the ...

Abstract Background Safe and timely nasogastric tube (NGT) placement is essential for effective enteral nutrition delivery in critically ill patients. Electromagnetic‐guided systems has been shown to improve placement accuracy and may reduce delays from confirmatory imaging, but evidence on how nurses acquire competence with this technology remains ...

Awake Blue Laser Excision and Balloon Dilation of Oropharyngeal Stenosis in High‐Risk Patients
Abstract Oropharyngeal stenosis is a rare condition that can develop following head and neck cancer treatment, leading to progressive dyspnea, dysphagia, and dysphonia. Patients with symptomatic dyspnea may benefit from endoscopic surgery. However, head and neck cancer survivors can have severe trismus, limited neck extension, and altered laryngeal ...
