Acoustic Lung Imaging Utilized in Continual Assessment of Patients with Obstructed Airway: A Systematic Review.

Smart respiratory therapy is enabled by continual assessment of lung functions. This systematic review provides an overview of the suitability of equipment-to-patient acoustic imaging in continual assessment of lung conditions. The literature search was conducted using Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, SciELO Preprints, and Google Scholar.

Repair of Osteochondral Defects With Predifferentiated Mesenchymal Stem Cells of Distinct Phenotypic Character Derived From a Nanotopographic Platform.

Background: Articular cartilage has a zonal architecture and biphasic mechanical properties. The recapitulation of surface lubrication properties with high compressibility of the deeper layers of articular cartilage during regeneration is essential in achieving long-term cartilage integrity. Current clinical approaches for cartilage repair, especially with the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have yet to restore the hierarchically organized architecture of articular cartilage.
