Engineering an artificial trachea: Quantitative benchmarks and modular strategies for mechanics, epithelialization, and vascular integration

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
In this work, we first examine the limitations of surgical repair and stenting, including migration, granulation, mucus plugging, and infection. We then translate these failures into engineering constraints involving geometry, mechanics, fixation, degradation, junctional stress, and remodeling.

MEK Inhibitor Associated Airway Injury in an Infant With Noonan Syndrome: A Case Report

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
An infant with Noonan syndrome treated with trametinib developed extensive mucosal sloughing of the upper and lower airway, followed by severe supraglottic scarring. Clinicians should consider airway toxicity as a potential adverse effect of MEK inhibitor therapy.

Inter‐ and Intra‐Rater Reliability of 4D‐CT Versus Bronchoscopy in Diagnosing and Grading Tracheomalacia

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Bronchoscopy and 4D‐CT are used to grade tracheomalacia severity, though reliability across raters and specialties has been unclear. In this multi‐institutional, multidisciplinary survey study, endoscopic assessment showed higher inter‐ and intra‐rater reliability than 4D‐CT, though both modalities demonstrated substantial‐to‐almost‐perfect agreement ...

Role of flexible bronchoscopy in lung transplantation.

open access: yes, 2004
Flexible bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and transbronchial biopsy has contributed significantly to the success of lung transplantation to detect rejection and infections (bacterial, fungal, viral, and protozoal). It permits the visualization of

Evaluating the Local Response of a Novel Injectable Capsule for Drug Delivery in the Trachea

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
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.
