Rationale: Identification of the specific cell types expressing CFTR (cystic fibrosis [CF] transmembrane conductance regulator) is required for precision medicine therapies CF. However, a full characterization expression in normal human airway epithelia missing. Objectives: To identify that contribute to and function within proximal–distal axis lung. Methods: Single-cell RNA (scRNA) sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed on freshly isolated large small epithelial cells. scRNA situ...

Abstract Background Some patients with end stage renal disease are or will become narcotic‐dependent. Chronic narcotic use is associated increased graft loss and mortality following kidney transplantation. We aimed to compare the efficacy of continuous flow local anesthetic wound infusion pumps (CFLAP) patient controlled analgesia (PCA) in reducing inpatient consumption undergoing Materials Methods In this single‐center, retrospective analysis transplantation, we collected demographic...
