Clinical Outcomes and Acute Exacerbation Incidence in Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema

Respirology, EarlyView.
This multicentre prospective study of 1016 patients demonstrated that CPFE, defined as ≥ 5% emphysema on visual CT assessment, identified a high‐risk phenotype with significantly worse 5‐year survival compared to non‐CPFE IIP patients (51.4% vs. 63.1%) and COPD patients (51.4% vs. 84.0%) and higher acute exacerbation incidence, validating international

Sleep‐disordered breathing in valvular heart disease: A Modifiable comorbidity

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) is highly prevalent among patients with valvular heart disease (VHD) and is independently associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The two major phenotypes—obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA)—exhibit distinct distributions across VHD subtypes. CSA predominates in severe aortic stenosis,

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.
