Endotypes of severe neutrophilic and eosinophilic asthma from multi‐omics integration of U‐BIOPRED sputum samples

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Multi‐omics analysis of asthma sputum identified five omics‐associated clusters (OAC1‐5). OAC2–OAC4 consist of patients with severe asthma while OAC1 and OAC5 mainly contain mild‐to‐moderate asthmatics. OAC3 represents a Th2 eosinophilic cluster. OAC2 and OAC4 are distinct severe mixed and neutrophilic asthma clusters with different neutrophil subtypes

Hybrid approach to management for a patient with culture negative infective endocarditis with profunda femoris mycotic pseudoaneurysm: A case report and review of the literature

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2024.
Key Clinical Message Mycotic pseudoaneurysms can be a serious and life threatening complication of left sided infective endocarditis. They most commonly affect the major axial vessels. Profunda femoris artery (PFA) aneurysms are rare and present in only 0.5% of all peripheral aneurysms, regardless of the underlying etiology.
