Incidental Detection of Respiratory Viruses in Lung Transplant Donor‐Recipient Pairs: Exploratory Associations With Clinical Outcomes in a Post Hoc Analysis

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
In 53 lung transplant donor‐recipient pairs, community‐acquired respiratory viruses were incidentally detected by syndromic PCR in 13.2% of donor and 20.8% of recipient bronchoalveolar lavages, with exploratory, unadjusted signals towards longer hospitalization and chronic lung allograft dysfunction.

Mathematical Modeling of Mucociliary Clearance: A Mini-Review

Cells, 2019
Mucociliary clearance is an important innate host defense of the mammalian respiratory system, as it traps foreign substances, including pollutants, pathogens, and allergens, and transports them out of the airway.

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

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 9, Page 3732-3736, September 2026.
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 ...

A new paradigm in respiratory hygiene: modulating respiratory secretions to contain cough bioaerosol without affecting mucus clearance

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2007
Background Several strategies and devices have been designed to protect health care providers from acquiring transmissible respiratory diseases while providing care. In modulating the physical characteristics of the respiratory secretions to minimize the

Airway Epithelial Differentiation and Mucociliary Clearance [PDF]

Annals of the American Thoracic Society, 2018
Abstract The lung is continuously exposed to particles, toxicants, and microbial pathogens that are cleared by a complex mechanical, innate, and acquired immune system. Mucociliary clearance, mediated by the actions of diverse conducting airway and submucosal gland epithelial cells, plays a critical role in a multilayered defense ...

Radiotherapy‐Induced Otitis Media With Effusion in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 9, Page 3718-3731, September 2026.
This meta‐analysis of eight studies comprising 582 NPC patients provides the first quantitative synthesis of radiotherapy‐induced otitis media with effusion (OME), demonstrating a significant overall risk difference of 0.18 (95% CI: −0.06 to 0.42, p < 0.0001) in OME naive ears.

Endothelial Hydrogels Improve Microvascular Regeneration and Perfusion in Tracheal Scaffolds

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 9, Page 3895-3906, September 2026.
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.

A Novel Device to Improve the Tolerability of Intranasal Corticosteroid Sprays for Allergic Rhinitis and Postoperative Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Crossover Trial

Clinical Otolaryngology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 776-783, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are commonly treated with intranasal corticosteroid sprays. Despite their efficacy, unpleasant sensations associated with their application, including post‐nasal drip and nasal irritation, are often cited as reasons for poor compliance.

Astodrimer sodium nasal spray forms a barrier to SARS-CoV-2 in vitro and preserves normal mucociliary function in human nasal epithelium

Scientific Reports
COVID-19 remains a severe condition for many including immunocompromised individuals. There remains a need for effective measures against this and other respiratory infections, which transmit via virus-laden droplets that reach the nasal or oral mucosae.

Interstitium‐Mimicking Porous Alveolar Membranes Enable Physiologic Aerosol Transport and Distinct Acute‐Chronic Lung Injury Responses

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 62, 3 August 2026.
An interstitium‐mimicking membrane combines three‐dimensional alveolar geometry, high pore interconnectivity, and mechanical compliance to overcome transport limitations of conventional lung‐on‐chip barriers. The resulting platform supports physiologic aerosol transport, quantitative analysis of cross‐barrier particle movement, and reveals divergent ...
