Inflammatory Markers Stratify Surgical Outcomes in Pediatric Airway Reconstruction
ABSTRACT Objectives Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) predicts surgical success in adult patients undergoing open airway reconstruction for laryngotracheal stenosis, but similar biomarkers in pediatrics remain unidentified. This study identifies predictors of outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing triple endoscopy or surgical airway ...

The Homeobox Genes: Classification, Regulation, Biological Functions, and Diseases
Overview of the homeobox gene superfamily and its pathophysiological roles. The homeobox superfamily comprises several major classes, including ANTP, PRD, TALE, LIM, POU, and others. Among these, the HOX clusters (A–D) play critical roles in embryonic development specifically in conferring cellular identity, regulating morphogenesis, and guiding axial ...

The Value of Nasal Nitric Oxide Measurement in the Diagnosis of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
ABSTRACT Nasal nitric oxide (nNO) is widely used as a first‐line test in the diagnostic evaluation of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Although low nNO is characteristic of classic PCD forms, its diagnostic performance varies across age groups, measurement techniques, and genetic subtypes.
