Rationale: AIRFLOW-3 was a 1:1 randomized, double blind, sham controlled trial of the d'Nerva Targeted Lung Denervation (TLD) System in patients with COPD.
Objective: Evaluate the impact of TLD on COPD exacerbations compared to optimal medical treatment.
Methods: AIRFLOW-3 patients were symptomatic (CAT ≥10) with moderate to very severe airflow obstruction (25% ≤ FEV ≤ 80% predicted) and GOLD E status (≥2 moderate or ≥1 severe exacerbation over prior 12 months).

Cardiac adipose tissue is normally present in the epicardium, but a variable amount can also be present in the myocardium, particularly in the subepicardial regions of the right ventricular anterolateral and apical regions. Pathological adipose tissue changes may occur in both ischemic (previous myocardial infarction) and nonischemic (previous myocarditis, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum, cardiac lipomas and liposarcomas) conditions, with or without extensive replacement-type myocardial fibrosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance is the gold standard imaging technique to characterize myocardial tissue changes and to distinguish between physiological and pathological cardiac fat deposits.

Introduction: This review was aimed at understanding the scope of evidence regarding outcomes and complications in nonagenarians (90-99 years of age) undergoing open cardiac surgery.
Methods: The review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Extension for Scoping Review Protocol guidelines. A search of three databases, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, identified articles pertaining to nonagenarians undergoing various open cardiac surgical procedures.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is characterized by impaired mucociliary clearance and pulmonary infections. Accumulating evidence suggests that fundamentally abnormal inflammatory responses also contribute to CF pathology. TGFβ, a pleiotropic cytokine, is a modifier of CF lung disease; its mechanism of action in CF is unclear.

The A20 binding inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)-1 (ABIN-1) serves as a ubiquitin sensor and autophagy receptor, crucial for modulating inflammation and cell death. Our previous in vitro investigation identified the LC3-interacting region (LIR) motifs 1 and 2 of ABIN-1 as key mitophagy regulators. This study aimed to explore the in vivo biological significance of ABIN1-LIR domains using a novel CRISPR-engineered ABIN1-ΔLIR1/2 mouse model, which lacks both LIR motifs.
