The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Alveolar epithelial cell pyroptosis exacerbates inflammation and tissue damage by releasing inflammatory mediators, thereby promoting the development of acute lung injury (ALI). However, the fundamental mechanism underlying alveolar epithelial cell pyroptosis in ALI has not yet been elucidated. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to simulate ALI

Utilization of Ciprofloxacin‐Dexamethasone in the Airway: A Scoping Review
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Off‐label ciprofloxacin‐dexamethasone has been used for over two decades to improve outcomes following airway surgery. Therefore, this scoping review evaluates the current literature to understand the potential utility of ciprofloxacin‐dexamethasone after airway surgery. Ciprofloxacin‐dexamethasone was found to provide utility with minimal side effects
