Can Patient-Reported Outcomes and Inflammatory Markers define Endotype 2 in Chronic Rhinosinusitis without Nasal Polyps?
CONCLUSION: The type of inflammation does not impact on the symptoms, the CT scan nor the postoperative results in CRSsNP in contrast to former findings in CRSwNP.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: Project No. B6702020000097.PMID:36442791 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2022.11.020

The Impact of Adhesions on Nasal Airflow: A Quantitative Analysis Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
CONCLUSION: NAs result in marked disruption to airflow patterns and reduced mucosal cooling on critical surfaces, particularly in the wake region. Reduced wake region mucosal cooling may be a contributing factor to the exaggerated perception of nasal obstruction experienced by patients with NAs.PMID:36373577 | DOI:10.1177/19458924221137982

Skin care interventions in infants for preventing eczema and food allergy
CONCLUSIONS: Based on low- to moderate-certainty evidence, skin care interventions such as emollients during the first year of life in healthy infants are probably not effective for preventing eczema; may increase risk of food allergy; and probably increase risk of skin infection. Further study is needed to understand whether different approaches to infant skin care might prevent eczema or food allergy.PMID:36373988 | PMC:PMC9661877 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD013534.pub3

Ctla4 variant of uncertain significance in a patient with a history of cytopenias
CTLA-4 haploinsufficiency is caused by heterozygous mutations in CTLA4, a negative regulator of immune responses. Hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and autoimmune cytopenias can be seen. Here, we describe a patient with history of ITP who presented with neutropenic fever, lymphopenia, and hypogammaglobulinemia in the setting of COVID-19 with a VUS in CTLA4.

Rare case of homozygous ifnar1 deficiency in a samoan child with disseminated varicella after vaccination
Autosomal recessive interferon alpha/beta receptor 1 (IFNAR1) deficiency increases susceptibility to live-attenuated vaccines and wild-type viruses. Currently 16 cases, half with Polynesian ancestry have been reported since the discovery in 2019. Most cases present with severe MMR or yellow fever vaccine-related disease. Some cases report severe SARS-CoV-2, herpes simplex, and enterovirus. Varicella vaccine-related disease has been hypothesized but not previously reported.

What to Know About Severe Asthma in Kids
Asthma isn’t always a quick and easy diagnosis in children. According to a 2014 task force assembled by the American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Society, pediatric severe asthma can be diagnosed if a child’s symptoms require treatment with high-dose inhaled corticosteroids plus a second “controller” medication for a full year, and/or systemic corticosteroids for half a year or longer. In other words, its diagnostic criteria are based on the intractability of its symptoms. “It’s definitely a limitation when you’re defining a disease state based on how much medicine...

IgE Sensitization Profile in Patients with Netherton Syndrome
Conclusion: IgE multiplex evaluation allows (i) to profile IgE polyreactivity pictures, in the presence of LTP and profilin sensitization, (ii) to verify the clinical history of food allergy to milk, egg, and seafood, (iii) to confirm the allergic events associated with latex exposure, and (iv) to disclose the presence of preclinical sensitizations in patients affected by primary immunodeficiencies with hyper IgE, such as the NS.Int Arch Allergy Immunol

How effective is the monkeypox vaccine? Scientists scramble for clues as trials ramp up
When mo nkeypox suddenly started spreading globally in May, the world was fortunate in one respect: a vaccine was available. MVA, originally developed by Bavarian Nordic as a smallpox vaccine, was already licensed for monkeypox in Canada and the United States. EU regulators have since followed suit. Vaccine supplies are limited, and no doses have been shared with countries in Africa that have long been affected by monkeypox. But in Europe and North America, clinics have by now delivered thousands of doses to people in high-risk groups. There’s little doubt the vaccine can help, but that’s about all that’s...

What Are Causes of Childhood Interstital Lung Disease?
Discussion Interstitial lung disease in children (chILD) is less understood than adult interstitial lung disease (ILD) and is rare. Prevalence is ~ 0.13 to 16.2 per 100,000 children under age 17 years. chILD is an general term for respiratory disorders that are heterogeneous, chronic and impair lung function. While some define diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD) separately, the term ILD usually encompases DPLD. chILD has variable definitions and is “usually diagnosed if three of the following features are present: 1) respiratory symptoms (cough, rapid and/or difficult breathing, and exercise intolerance), 2) res...

Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells-derived Exosomes and Imipenem in Combination Reduce Apoptosis and Inflammatory Responses in E.coli-infected HepG2 Cells
In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effect of Wharton's jelly MSC-derived exosomes in combination with imipenem on HepG2 cells infected with Escherichia col i.MSC-derived exosomes were separated from MSCs, which were isolated by flow cytometry. Scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scanning were used to confirm the presence of exosomes. Quantitative real-time PCR, ELISA, and nitric oxide assay were used to assess the inflammatory response in the infected cells. Annexin-PI was used to measure the extent of apoptosis. The results showed that the combination of imipenem and MSC-derived exosomes were m...
