Management of Massive Post-Tracheostomy Subcutaneous Emphysema With an Adjustable-Length, Wire-Reinforced Tracheostomy Tube: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Massive subcutaneous emphysema with pneumomediastinum is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication following tracheostomy, for which standardized management strategies are lacking. We report the case of a 67‐year‐old man who developed progressive cervicofacial and thoracic subcutaneous emphysema on postoperative Day 9 after an ...

Conditional knockout of membrane-type I matrix metalloproteinase in smooth muscle cells of adult mice alleviates atherosclerosis without affecting basic cardiovascular function. [PDF]
Expression of smooth muscle cell‐specific MMP14 increases with atherosclerosis progression in humans. Inducible conditional knockout of SMC‐MMP14 in adult mice does not affect cardiac or vascular function. Inducible conditional knockout of SMC‐MMP14 in adult Ldlr−/− mice decreases atherosclerosis progression, increases plaque stability and accelerates ...

An Approach to Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Pediatric Liver Transplantation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Antibody‐mediated rejection (AMR) is an important but infrequent cause of pediatric liver allograft injury. There is a lack of standardized guidance, and treatment approaches vary across institutions. A writing group from the Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation conducted a comprehensive review of the published literature and collected ...

The Impact of Acid-Free Reflux on Vocal Cord Granuloma. [PDF]
The incidence of acid‐free reflux was significantly higher in the VCG group than in the benign lesion group. Furthermore, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) length in VCG patients was significantly shorter than that in those with benign vocal cord lesions.
