Strategies for enhancing sensitivity in lateral flow assays

VIEW, EarlyView.
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are essential for cost‐effective, rapid point‐of‐care diagnostics. However, conventional colourimetric LFAs often lack the sensitivity required for low‐abundance biomarkers. This review evaluates six enhancement strategies: flow modulation, sample preconcentration, advanced reporters, chemical signal amplification, structural

Research Progress on Upper Airway Cough Syndrome

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upper airway cough syndrome (UACS) has been identified as a significant contributor to chronic cough in various national guidelines. However, the complexity of its pathogenesis, the lack of clarity surrounding its diagnostic criteria, and its overlap with other etiologies of chronic cough present considerable challenges in both diagnosis and ...

Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy in Children Predicts OSA Severity

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While adenotonsillectomy (AT) is first line for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), treatment failure is common. Drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) provides dynamic airway assessment, but its role in predicting OSA severity requires clarification. This study correlates DISE findings with polysomnographic severity. Objective To
