This review provides a comprehensive overview of how macrophages, neutrophils, T cells and other immune cells infiltrate the aortic wall, undergo phenotypic shifts and interact with one another in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Background Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a lethal degenerative vascular disease with no approved clinical drugs. Immune

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Prolonged antibiotic therapy in ventilator‐associated pneumonia (VAP) contributes to antimicrobial resistance. Inhaled heparin has pleiotropic anti‐inflammatory and mucolytic properties. This trial evaluated whether adjunctive nebulized heparin reduces antibiotic duration in VAP using a procalcitonin (PCT)‐guided ...

Here, we report that nuclear membrane CD63 (nmCD63), a marker of targeted nuclear degranulation in neutrophils, represents a novel biomarker for sepsis. In a two‐center prospective cohort with independent external validation, nmCD63 outperforms CRP and PCT for early sepsis diagnosis, with the nmCD63+SOFA combined model reaching an AUC of 0.943.
