Liver Disease Predicts 30‐Day Postoperative Complications in Head and Neck Microvascular Surgery
While liver disease is known to affect surgical outcomes, its impact on head and neck microvascular free tissue transfer surgeries remains unexamined. This study uses the NSQIP national database to analyze the relationship between liver disease severity, determined by APRI and MELD‐Na scores, and postoperative complications.

Post‐Intubation Acute Laryngeal Injuries: Analysis of Predictive Factors of Poor Prognosis
This is the first historical review in the literature that adds reintubation with corticosteroid and antibiotics ointment coating around the tube to balloon laryngoplasty for the management of post‐intubation acute laryngeal injuries. Almost 85% of our patients were managed with success with such approaches.

ABSTRACT In the 1980s, researchers discovered the remarkable ability of electrospray plumes to effectively ionize gas‐phase molecules via secondary ionization. Around 20 years later—coinciding with the ambient mass spectrometry revolution—secondary electrospray ionization (SESI) and extractive electrospray ionization (EESI) coupled to mass spectrometry

Breaking Boundaries: Chronic Diseases and the Frontiers of Immune Microenvironments
ABSTRACT The immune microenvironment includes immune cells, cytokines, extracellular matrix, vesicles, etc. The interactions between these components form a unique local immune microecology. Although immunity serves as the defense against external pathogens, aberrant immune activation often contributes to disease development.

Abstract Background The clinical realization of markerless dynamic tumor tracking (MLDTT) has prompted a new paradigm shift to intrafraction imaging‐based quality assurance (QA). During MLDTT treatment using a gimbaled accelerator, the megavoltage (MV) imager serves as an independent system to leverage real‐time intrafraction monitoring.

Abstract Objective Weight loss in colorectal cancer (CRC) surgical patients is widespread and often associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine whether pre‐surgery nutrition intervention in CRC patients can reduce post‐surgery weight loss and improve nutritional status and quality of life (QoL).

Nanoplastic hydrophobicity drives adverse effects in the lung. Single intratracheal administration of poly(vinyl acetate‐co‐alcohol) nanoplastics with varying surface hydrophobicity shows that the more hydrophobic nanoplastics increase prevalence of coarsely vacuolated alveolar macrophages, induce transient respiratory inflammation and mild collagen ...
