Lateral Mucosal Flap With Steroid‐Eluting Implant in Revision Draf Type III Frontal Sinus Surgery

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This technical note introduces a novel endoscopic strategy that integrates a laterally based endonasal mucosal flap with a bioabsorbable steroid‐eluting implant to prevent restenosis following revision of Draf type III frontal sinus surgery. The vascularized flap is stabilized and maintained in close apposition to the underlying bone by a self ...

Nasal Muco-ciliary transport time alteration: efficacy of 18 B Glycyrrhetinic acid

Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine, 2017
Background Mucociliary clearance is the main self-clearing system of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. This is a very important means of non specific defence against continuous organic and inorganic contamination conveyed by air.

Airway cilia recovery post lung transplantation

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2021
Background Normally functioning airway cilia is essential for efficient mucociliary clearance to protect the airway from various insults. Impaired clearance may lead to increased risk of infections and progressive lung damage.

HIV Infects Bronchial Epithelium and Suppresses Components of the Mucociliary Clearance Apparatus

PLoS ONE, 2017
Recurrent lung infections and pneumonia are emerging as significant comorbidities in the HIV-infected population in the era of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). HIV infection has been reported to suppress nasal mucociliary clearance (MCC). Since

Endothelial Hydrogels Improve Microvascular Regeneration and Perfusion in Tracheal Scaffolds

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Insufficient vascularization remains a major barrier to successful tracheal transplantation. This study demonstrates that an endothelial hydrogel significantly enhances graft perfusion and neovessel organization compared to non‐endothelial hydrogel controls.
