Inhaled Corticosteroid Escalation After a Single Moderate Exacerbation in COPD: Differential Benefit by Exacerbation Subtype

Respirology, EarlyView.
We tested whether ICS escalation after a single moderate COPD exacerbation improved outcomes according to exacerbation treatment phenotype. ICS reduced future exacerbations only in steroid‐treated events, not antibiotic‐treated events. This study supports phenotype‐guided escalation after one moderate exacerbation, avoiding overtreatment with precise ...

Lipoarabinomannan in urine during tuberculosis treatment: association with host and pathogen factors and mycobacteriuria. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Detection of lipoarabinomannan (LAM), a Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) cell wall antigen, is a potentially attractive diagnostic. However, the LAM-ELISA assay has demonstrated variable sensitivity in diagnosing TB in diverse clinical ...

Safety and Efficacy of Direct Cryobiopsy Specimen Retrieval Through the 3.0‐mm Working Channel of a Therapeutic Bronchoscope Using a 1.1‐mm Cryoprobe: A Multicentre Prospective Observational Study

Respirology, EarlyView.
Safety and efficacy of direct 1.1‐mm cryobiopsy specimen retrieval through a 3.0‐mm therapeutic bronchoscope channel were evaluated. The technique achieved 87.5% overall diagnostic yield, produced specimens three times larger than forceps biopsy, and caused Grade 3 bleeding in only 2.1%.

Bioactive Gold Plasmonic Interfaces Meet Artificial Intelligence: Advancing Saliva‐Based Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Diagnostics

Small, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bioactive gold plasmonic nanostructures are enabling non‐invasive saliva diagnostics by amplifying weak Raman signals and converting complex biofluid chemistry into information‐rich spectral fingerprints. This Review examines saliva‐based Raman and surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) from a ...

Pre-Analytical Factors Affecting Extracellular DNA in Saliva

Diagnostics
Salivary DNA is widely used for genetic analyses because of its easy collection. However, its extracellular fraction in particular, similar to the extracellular DNA (ecDNA) in plasma, could be a promising biomarker for oral or systemic diseases.
