Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes on Lung Inflammation in a Murine Aspiration Model
This study assessed the effect of intravenous MSC‐derived exosomes on inflammatory lung injury in a rat model of LPS aspiration. Compared with LPS alone, MSC exosome treatment reduced histologic lung injury overall (significant group effect p = 0.02; linear trend p = 0.006) and significantly lowered Tnf gene expression on qRT‐PCR (p < 0.05).

Tracheostomy vs. Delayed Extubation in Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Meta‐Analysis
High volume centers are trialing delayed extubation as an alternative management approach to tracheostomy in patients undergoing head and neck reconstruction (HNR). This systematic review shows that patients in the delayed extubation group are four times less likely to suffer an airway complication (p = 0.295) and eight times less likely to suffer a ...

Influence of Tracheostomy Level on Surgical Management of Pediatric Airway Stenosis
Tracheostomy location is a critical determinant of surgical complexity and outcomes in pediatric laryngotracheal stenosis. Misplacement may lead to longer tracheal resections, an increased need for stoma relocation, more complex reconstruction, and secondary stenosis. Strategic planning of tracheostomy position can improve surgical outcomes.
