Exhaled nitric oxide is not a biomarker for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension or for treatment efficacy

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019
Background Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is a fatal illness. Despite many improvements in the treatment of these patients, there is no unique prognostic variable available to track these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate

Survival and quality of life benefit after endoscopic management of malignant central airway obstruction [PDF]

, 2016
Although interventional management of malignant central airway obstruction (mCAO) is well established, its impact on survival and quality of life (QoL) has not been extensively studied.We prospectively assessed survival, QoL and dyspnea (using validated ...

The Faraday Scalpel: Electrochemical Nerve Lesioning Mechanisms Studied in Invertebrate Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Direct‐current produces nerve lesioning through discrete electrochemical reactions. Using hypoxia‐sensitive locust nerves and hypoxia‐tolerant leech nerves, we map three injury pathways: cathodic oxygen reduction, cathodic alkalization, and anodic chloride oxidation. These findings establish electrochemical lesioning—the “Faraday Scalpel”—as a precise,

Soft and Adhesive Cardiac Patch for Electrophysiological and Contraction Measurement

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study developed an epicardial electronic patch with a modulus similar to that of the heart (approximately 65kPa), which can collect stable electrocardiogram signals and myocardial contractility on the surface of a dynamically beating heart. This is attributed to the hydrogen bond interaction formed between the amino and catechol groups in the ...

Potential Survival Benefit of Neoadjuvant Docetaxel, Cisplatin and 5‐Fluorouracil Therapy in Patients With Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Multiple Lymph Node Metastases: A Single‐Institute Propensity Score Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Although neoadjuvant chemotherapy with fluorouracil, cisplatin, and docetaxel (NAC‐DCF) is the current standard neoadjuvant regimen for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, its substantial toxicity underscores the need to identify patients who derive the greatest benefit.

Pirfenidone Inhibits Obliterative Airway Disease in Mouse Tracheal Allografts

The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2005
Obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) is the histologic correlate of chronic airway rejection, which remains the most significant cause of death in long-term survivors of lung transplantation. Using an established murine heterotopic tracheal transplant model of chronic airway rejection, the effects of the oral anti-fibrotic agent pirfenidone on development ...
