Submucosal Pressure Ejection Endoscopic Dissection (SPEED): A New Technique in Increasing the Safety and Efficacy of ESD (With Video)

open access: yesJournal of Digestive Diseases, EarlyView.
Submucosal pressure ejection endoscopic dissection (SPEED) technique combines pressure injection, incision, dissection, and coagulation, avoids frequent device exchange and ensures an easier and smoother procedure during dissection. In this study, the SPEED group showed a significantly lower application of hemostatic forceps, a shorter median resection

Effect of Hyaluronan in Collagen Biomaterials on Human Macrophages and Fibroblasts In Vitro

open access: yesJournal of Functional Biomaterials
In adults, scars are formed after deep skin wound injuries like burns. However, the fetal microenvironment allows for scarless skin regeneration. One component that is abundantly present in the fetal extracellular matrix is hyaluronan (HA).

Partial amputation regrowth of P4 distal digit in an eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus): a case report

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
This case report describes distal regrowth of the fourth hind digit (P4) following traumatic autoamputation in a young adult eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus). Injury to P4 is generally considered to carry a poor prognosis due to its critical role in weight‐bearing and propulsion during hopping.

Beyond the Kidney and Lung: Cutaneous and Mucosal Clues to Human Hantavirus Disease

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Rodent exposure and aerosolized excreta can lead to hantavirus infection with systemic endothelial injury and capillary leak, resulting in thrombocytopenia and syndromes such as HPS/HCPS and HFRS/NE. Early dermatologic and mucosal findings, including flushing, conjunctival injection, petechiae/purpura, and mucosal bleeding, may provide important clues ...

Pediatric Esophageal Biomechanics and Remodeling: Integrating Distensibility and Compliance Beyond Luminal Diameter

open access: yesJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
Esophageal distensibility and compliance provide physiologic information beyond luminal diameter alone in pediatric esophageal disease. This review proposes a practical biomechanics‐informed framework integrating FLIP assessment into interpretation of dysphagia, esophageal remodeling, dilation response, and therapeutic decision‐making in children ...
