Despite the widespread use of systemic antibiotics to prevent infections in surgically treated patients with fracture, high rates surgical site infection persist.To examine effect intrawound vancomycin powder reducing deep infections.This open-label randomized clinical trial enrolled adult an operatively tibial plateau or pilon fracture who met criteria for a risk from January 1, 2015, through June 30, 2017, 12 months follow-up (final assessments completed April 2018) at 36 US trauma...
Abstract Corticosteroid-eluting endotracheal tubes (ETTs) were developed and employed in a swine laryngotracheal injury model to maintain airway patency provide localized drug delivery inhibit fibrotic scarring. Polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers with or without dexamethasone electrospun onto the ETT surface PCL-only coated ETTs placed native airways of 18 Yorkshire swine. Regular dexamethasone-PCL another injured by inner laryngeal mucosal abrasion. All groups evaluated after 3, 7 14 days (n =...
Inhalation injuries, caused by exposure to extreme heat and chemical irritants, lead complications with speaking, swallowing, breathing. This study investigates the effects of thermal injury endotracheal tube (ETT) placement on airway microbiome inflammatory response. A secondary aim is assess impact localized dexamethasone delivery via a drug-eluting ETT reduce laryngeal scarring. was developed in swine administering heated air (150°C-160°C) under endoscopic visualization. Following injury,...
Endotracheal Tubes (ETTs) maintain and secure a patent airway; however, prolonged intubation often results in unintended injury to the mucosal epithelium inflammatory sequelae which complicate recovery. ETT design materials used have yet adapt address associated complications. In this study, composite coating of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers embedded four-arm polyethylene glycol acrylate matrix (4APEGA) is developed transform from mechanical device dual-purpose capable delivering...
Inhalational burns frequently lead to dysphonia and airway stenosis. We hypothesize local dexamethasone delivery via a novel drug-eluting electrospun polymer-mesh endotracheal tube (ETT) reduces biomechanical histologic changes in the vocal folds inhalational burn.
Composite vocal fold (VF) biomechanical data are lacking for augmentation after recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury. We hypothesize resulting atrophy decreases VF stiffness and restores native biomechanics.
Abstract Background Laryngeal injury associated with traumatic or prolonged intubation may lead to voice, swallow, and airway complications. The interplay between inflammation microbial population shifts induced by relate clinical outcomes. objective of this study was investigate laryngeal mechanics, tissue inflammatory response, local microbiome changes laryngotracheal localized delivery therapeutics via drug-eluting endotracheal tube. Methods A simulated created in Yorkshire crossbreed...
To investigate changes in neuroregenerative pathways with vocal fold denervation response to augmentation.
With each passing decade, we gain new appreciation for the dynamic, connected, and often violent nature of Universe. This reality necessarily places study high-energy processes at very heart modern astrophysics. White Paper illustrates central role astrophysics to some most pressing astrophysical problems our time, formation/evolution galaxies, origin heavy elements, star planet formation, emergence life on exoplanets, search physics. We also highlight connections that are growing between...
