Current strategies to enhance the target efficiency of advanced multifunctional ultrasound contrast agents in ischemic diseases

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract outlines a novel multifunctional ultrasound contrast agent for the diagnosis and treatment of ischemic diseases, along with innovative strategies to enhance its targeting efficiency. Abstract Ischemic diseases, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral ischemia, are leading causes of death and disability worldwide ...

Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry: Fundamental Principles, Diverse Applications, and the Latest Technological Frontiers

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The review examines the evolution of chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CI‐MS), a technique developed in 1966 by Field and Munson. CI is a soft‐ionization method that produces more intense molecular ions with less fragmentation than electron ionization (EI).

Silent zone detection in asthma and its relation to T2 inflammation

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis
Objective Study objectives are to detect small airways disease in asthma and to study T2 inflammatory markers (eosinophil count, IgE, phenotyping) in association with small airways disease.

Update on the Pathophysiology, Aetiology and Management of Central Sleep Apnoea

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central sleep apnoea (CSA) of the periodic breathing type occurs during the transition between wakefulness and stage 1 and 2 non‐REM sleep. In adults at sea level, it occurs most commonly due to advanced heart failure (HF) or chronic opioid use and in ~5% of obstructive sleep apnoea patients initiating CPAP.

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...

Small Airways Dysfunction and Remission in Adults With Asthma: A Longitudinal Exploratory Analysis of the AssessmenT of smalL Airways involvemeNT In aSthma (ATLANTIS) Study

Allergy, EarlyView.
We conducted a post hoc analysis of ATLANTIS, a multinational prospective study including 684 adults with asthma. Fewer small airway symptoms and lower disease activity are independently associated with asthma remission. Replicated airway transcriptomic signatures show increased IL‐4/13 signalling and reduced coagulation pathways across the ATLANTIS ...

Exhaled Volatile Organic Compounds Identify Allergic Patients Among Individuals With Chronic Rhinitis

Allergy, EarlyView.
Exhaled decane and nonadecane discriminate allergic (AR + LAR) from non‐allergic (NAR + HC) subjects among individuals with chronic rhinitis. LAR patients display higher levels of exhaled nonadecane than NAR individuals at baseline. Subjects with FeNO≥ 25 ppb have higher levels of exhaled decane, nonanal, and styrene than individuals with FeNO < 25 ppb

Effects of Exposure to New Car Interiors in Patients With Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis

Allergy & Rhinology, 2018
Rationale Vehicle interiors are an important microenvironment for atopic subjects. This study evaluated the subjective and objective physiologic and clinical effects of exposing subjects with asthma and allergic rhinitis to new 2017 Mercedes vehicles ...

Data on the oral CRTh2 antagonist QAW039 (fevipiprant) in patients with uncontrolled allergic asthma

Data in Brief, 2016
This article contains data on clinical endpoints (Peak Flow Expiratory Rate, fractional exhaled nitric oxide and total IgE serum levels) and plasma pharmacokinetic parameters concerning the use of the oral CRTh2 antagonist QAW039 (fevipiprant) in mild to

Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways

Allergy, EarlyView.
Seven genes and two gene modules were consistently associated with asthma in both airway compartments in ARMS and were validated in ATLANTIS. The two modules reflected IL‐13 related inflammation and mast cell activity, respectively. Nasal gene signatures provide a non‐invasive proxy for selected bronchial asthma‐associated gene signatures.
