Soft Artificial Ciliary Brush with Integrated Haptic Feedback for Efficient Airway Mucus Cleaning

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A fundamental mucus cleaning mechanism is reported, which utilizes both artificial cilia mechanical sweeping and suction‐based mucus cleaning. A novel haptic feedback interface for the artificial cilia provides touch feedback on tissue contact, enhancing operator control and safety.

Silicosis, Sarcoidosis, and Silicosarcoidosis Are Overlapping Diagnoses and Difficult to Differentiate

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We evaluated 12 workers with documented exposure to respirable crystalline silica who were referred to a tertiary care center due to clinical suspicion of silicosis, sarcoidosis, or silicosarcoidosis. Although silica exposure is a well‐established risk factor for silicosis and has been associated with autoimmune diseases, mycobacterial ...

Severe Occupational Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: A Case Series of Four Patients Requiring Lung Transplantation

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immune‐mediated interstitial lung disease triggered by repeated inhalation of organic or chemical antigens. Occupational exposures account for approximately 19% of all cases. Early diagnosis, identification of the responsible antigen(s), and immediate avoidance of exposure are crucial to prevent ...

Atypical Clinical Course of Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 With Primarily Neurologic Presentation and Adult‐Onset in a 46‐Year‐Old Male

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 (GS2) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic mutations in the RAB27A gene. Typically, it is characterized by cutaneous hypopigmentation, immunodeficiency, with or without neurological abnormalities secondary to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Without treatment, GS2 often results in fatal
