Lung Tissue Multi-Layer Network Analysis Uncovers the Molecular Heterogeneity of COPD
CONCLUSIONS: A novel multi-layer network analysis is able to identify clinically relevant COPD patient communities. Patients with similarly low FEV1 and emphysema can have molecularly distinct small airways and immune response patterns, indicating that different endotypes can lead to similar clinical presentation.PMID:38626356 | DOI:10.1164/rccm.202303-0500OC (Source: Am J Respir Crit Car...)

Recessively Inherited Deficiency of Secreted WFDC2 (HE4) Causes Nasal Polyposis and Bronchiectasis
CONCLUSIONS: WFDC2 dysfunction defines a novel molecular etiology of bronchiectasis characterized by the deficiency of a secreted component of the airways. A commercially available blood test combined with genetic testing allows its diagnosis.

Autoimmunity Against Surfactant Protein B Is Associated with Pneumonitis During Checkpoint Blockade
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that the co-occurrence of surfactant protein-B-specific immunoglobulin G autoantibodies and CD4+ T cells is associated with the development of pneumonitis during ICI therapy. Pre-treatment levels of these antibodies may represent a potential biomarker for elevated risk of developing pneumonitis and on-treatment levels may provide a diagnostic aid.PMID:38626354 | DOI:10.1164/rccm.202311-2136OC (Source: Am J Respir Crit Car...)

Methicillin-Resistant < em > Staphylococcus aureus < /em > Carriage among Neonate Mothers, Healthcare Workers, and Environmental Samples in Neonatal Intensive Care Units: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: With a significant heterogeneity, our systematic review found high MRSA carriage rates in neonate mothers, healthcare workers, and across various environmental surfaces in NICUs, posing a potential risk of nosocomial infections. Urgent interventions, including regular screening and decolonization of MRSA carriers, reinforcing infection control measures, and enhancing cleaning and disinfection procedures within NICUs, are crucial. This trial is registered with CRD42023407114.PMID:38623471 | PMC:PMC11018372 | DOI:10.1155/2024/5675786 (Source: Biomed Res)

Clinical and Imaging Characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 Breakthrough Infection in Hospitalized Immunocompromised Patients
CONCLUSION: Immunocompromised patients with COVID-19 breakthrough infection showed an increased risk of severe clinical outcome, severe pneumonia based on chest radiographs, and typical CT pneumonia. In particular, patients status post solid organ transplantation was specifically found to be associated with a higher risk of all three outcomes than hospitalized immunocompetent patients.PMID:38627873 | DOI:10.3348/kjr.2023.0992 (Source: Korean J Radiol)

Partial versus Complete Sternotomy for Aortic Valve Replacement-Multicenter Study
CONCLUSION: In a large, German multicenter cohort, MACCE rates were comparable in surgical aortic valve replacement through partial upper and complete sternotomies. Shorter ICU stay and lower rates of Dressler's syndrome and rehospitalization were in favor of the partial sternotomy group.PMID:38626902 | DOI:10.1055/s-0044-1782685 (Source: The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon)
