Comprehensive spatial profiling reveals transitional microbiome dynamics and microbial heterogeneity in pediatric adenoid hypertrophy

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This study characterizes the upper respiratory microbiome in 276 children (101 Adenoid hypertrophy (AH) 119 Adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH), 11 Tonsil hypertrophy (TH), and 45 healthy controls by analyzing 1149 samples across five distinct niches: nasopharyngeal swabs (NS), adenoid swab (AS), and tonsil swabs (TS), plus adenoid tissues (AT) and tonsil

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Molecular Functions and Drug Prediction of MMP1 and TGFBR2 in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
MMP1 and TGFBR2 were validated by machine learning and external datasets as the candidate genes. Dexamethasone showed strong binding affinity to MMP1 (−7.72 kcal/mol) and TGFBR2 (−7.27 kcal/mol) in docking studies. Knockdown of MMP1 repressed the malignant phenotypes of NPC cells.

Association between blenderized tube feeds and differential oropharynx, stomach, and stool microbiome signatures relative to conventional formula feeds in children fed via enteral tube: A cross‐sectional study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Blenderized gastrostomy tube feeds are associated with reduced gastrointestinal symptoms. We hypothesize that patients receiving blenderized tube feeds, compared with standard formula, will have less gastric‐oropharyngeal microbial overlap, a possible biomarker of less gastroesophageal refluxate, and differences in beta diversity in

Transnasal endoscopy for eosinophilic esophagitis surveillance in adolescents with mild autism spectrum disorder: A single‐center case series

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience sensory sensitivities and procedural anxiety, which can complicate sedated esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Transnasal endoscopy (TNE) is a less invasive, unsedated alternative, but data on its use in this population are limited.

Feasibility of Imaging the Uvula at the Midtrimester Anomaly Ultrasound

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives The fetal palate is not routinely imaged as part of the midtrimester fetal anomaly ultrasound, despite being associated with many syndromes. The “equal sign” depicts the lateral borders of the uvula on 2‐dimensional fetal ultrasound. We assessed the feasibility of adding the equal sign to the midtrimester fetal anomaly ultrasound.

Phenotypic Subtypes of Obstructive Eustachian Tube Dysfunction as Defined by Cluster Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Obstructive ETD encompasses five clinically distinct phenotypes, ranging from mild, post‐upper respiratory infection presentations to chronic, bilateral disease driven by sinusitis and reflux. These were identified through hierarchical cluster analysis of 490 patients using seven key clinical variables.

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

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
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.
