Obstructive Mucus Plug in the Prone Position

MedEdPORTAL, 2015
Abstract Introduction This resource contains a medical simulation in which a 42-year-old male smoker undergoing a T7-T8 laminectomy and fusion in the prone position suddenly develops complete airway obstruction shortly after dissection has begun. This case provides an opportunity to discuss the risks associated with prone positioning, management of a ...

Effect of montelukast on platelet activating factor- and tachykinin induced mucus secretion in the rat [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Platelet activating factor and tachykinins (substance P, neurokinin A, neurokinin B) are important mediators contributing to increased airway secretion in the context of different types of respiratory diseases including acute and chronic ...

Humble beginnings of the Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus): A century‐old mystery solved

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus) feeds within the galls of scale insects (Apiomorpha) before transitioning into its wood‐boring eucalypt larval phase. This transitionary phase may be key to its multi‐year development, at the end of which it can produce over 100 000 eggs.

A Case of Cryobiopsy of a Large Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis‐Associated Mucus Plug

Respirology Case Reports
A 68‐year‐old woman presented with cough and dyspnoea. She was diagnosed with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis with mucus plugs. Forceps biopsy failed to remove a large plug, but cryobiopsy with a 2.4 mm cryoprobe was successful.

Kaempferol Protects Intestinal Health in Chinese Forest Musk Deer Possibly by Regulating Intestinal Microbiota and Inhibiting the NF‐κB/NLRP3 Signaling Pathway

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Kaempferol modulates the tryptophan metabolism pathway by increasing the abundances of Christensenellaceae R7 group, Bacteroides, and Blautia and reducing that of Rikenellaceae RC9 gut group, thereby significantly increasing the levels of ILA and IAA. This process inhibits the activation of NF‐κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway, reduces pro‐inflammatory factor

Simulation-Driven Annotation-Free Deep Learning for Automated Detection and Segmentation of Airway Mucus Plugs on Non-Contrast CT Images

Bioengineering
Mucus plugs are airway-obstructing accumulations of inspissated secretions frequently observed in obstructive lung diseases (OLDs), including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), severe asthma, and cystic fibrosis.

Diet–Microbiome–Immune Interactions at the Gut Mucosa in Food Allergy: Mechanisms, Gaps, and Therapeutic Implications

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mucosal surfaces are sites of highly dynamic interactions among epithelial and immune cells, environmental exposures, particularly dietary inputs, and the diverse microbial communities and their metabolites. These elements continually influence each other to maintain homeostasis and ensure appropriate immune discrimination between pathogens ...
