Optimizing outcomes in intrauterine insemination: A narrative synthesis of two decades of clinical research (2000–2024)

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a widely used first‐line fertility treatment, yet its success rates vary considerably. This review synthesizes evidence from peer‐reviewed studies published between 2000 and 2024, including randomized controlled trials, cohort and case–control studies, as well as systematic and narrative reviews identified ...

Stratification of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps by distinct sinonasal microbial communities and their clinical and pathological correlations

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous inflammatory condition. Dysbiosis is commonly observed. This study identified distinct sinonasal microbial communities in CRSwNP patients and explored their clinical and pathological associations. Two distinct microbial communities were identified: community type 1 (CT1), dominated by

Artificial sensory and motor nervous systems enabled by bioinspired nanowire heterostructure synapse

InfoMat, EarlyView.
A p‐i‐n heterostructured junction synaptic transistor was fabricated, composed of poly(3‐hexylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl) nanowire thin‐film/poly(methyl methacrylate)/ZnO nanowires (PZJ STs), which can emulate biological sensory and motor nervous systems.

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Evaluation of Acute Exposure to Combustible and Novel Tobacco Products Using an In Vitro Human Airway Organ Tissue Equivalent Model

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the well‐known risks of tobacco use, tobacco exposure remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although cigarette use has declined, the popularity of novel tobacco products (NTPs), such as electronic cigarettes (ECs) and heated tobacco products (HTPs), has increased.
