To better characterize an infusible extracellular matrix (iECM) material, we applied size‐based fractionation to separate out components into two major fractions. We characterized these fractions to understand how material properties such as composition, morphology, and biochemical properties affect bioactive effects in the context of acute myocardial ...

Rare Differentiation in Genes XIRP1 and XIRP2 Associated With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
XIRP2, but not XIRP1, acts as a key genetic modifier in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Rare variants in XIRP2 are enriched in patients and lead to dramatic mRNA overexpression (> 9‐fold, p < 0.001). Functionally, this disrupts intercalated disc integrity.

A unifying device–cardiovascular interface framework is presented to classify implantable cardiovascular technologies as intracardiovascular blood‐contacting systems or extracardiovascular tissue‐only and blood‐handling architectures. Cross‐class comparison across shared semiquantitative criteria, including blood‐contact burden, biomimicry ...

Environmental Exposures, Chronic Sinusitis, and Olfaction in People With Cystic Fibrosis
ABSTRACT Background Environmental air pollutants may contribute to chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), but their relationship with upper airway disease in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) remains poorly understood. This study evaluated associations between long‐term ambient air pollutant exposure and CRS severity and olfactory dysfunction in adults with CF ...

Effect of nanocurcumin (Curcuma longa) on lung histopathology in rats exposed to carbon black
Background Exposure to carbon black can induce respiratory toxicity, leading to tissue remodeling, inflammation, and fibrosis. Curcumin, a compound from Curcuma longa, has been shown to exert protective effects on lung tissue by inhibiting cell ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Traditional management of traumatic skull base dural injury has often favored observation and conservative therapy, despite the risk of delayed intracranial complications. This paradigm originated when operative intervention required craniotomy and carried significant morbidity.

Background: Left ventricular (LV) reverse myocardial remodeling occurs following septal myectomy in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), but it remains unclear whether diffuse fibrosis is reversible during this period.

ABSTRACT Background Sinus and skull base surgery create areas of demucosalized bone and cartilage in the sinonasal cavity, yet no standardized system exists to describe the progressive healing of these wounds. The goal of this study was to develop the novel Sinonasal Assessment of Reepithelialization (SNARE) and perform parametric testing including ...

ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis is common in people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF). Highly effective modulator therapy (HEMT) has been shown to improve sinonasal outcomes. However, prior studies failed to show improvement in objective olfaction with HEMT, and the impact of HEMT on olfactory‐specific quality of life has yet to be studied ...
