Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Pre‐operative three‐dimensional face scans for predicting difficult facemask ventilation: a prospective development study

open access: yesAnaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Facemask ventilation is a key airway management skill but predicting difficulty can be challenging. Pre‐operative three‐dimensional face scanning may have diagnostic value. We aimed to identify interpretable facial shape features and to quantify their value for predicting difficult facemask ventilation.

Prospective development and validation of an objective classification for difficult facemask ventilation: the MASCAN score

open access: yesAnaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Difficult facemask ventilation is an entity that lacks a robust definition, leading to inconsistent identification in clinical practice and research. The aim of this study was to develop and validate an objective classification and numeric score for difficult facemask ventilation. Methods Four hundred patients who required tracheal
