Case Report: Dual monoclonal antibody therapy in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and severe eosinophilic asthma-a proteome analysis.

Context: Recent insights into type 2 inflammation have led to the development of monoclonal antibody therapies for severe asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Despite add-on therapy with a monoclonal antibody, some individuals remain uncontrolled in terms of upper and/or lower airway symptoms, prompting an exploration of the efficacy of combining biological therapies and their impact on inflammatory pathways.

Objectives: In this article, we present a distinctive case of a patient with CRSwNP, severe eosinophilic asthma, and uncontrolled upper airway symptoms, who experienced substantial clinical and local inflammatory improvements through dual monoclonal antibody therapy.

Digital twin and artificial intelligence technologies for predictive planning of endovascular procedures.

Current planning of aortic and peripheral endovascular procedures is based largely on manual measurements performed from the 3-dimensional reconstruction of preoperative computed tomography scans. Assessment of device behavior inside patient anatomy is often difficult, and available tools, such as 3-dimensional-printed models, have several limitations. Digital twin (DT) technology has been used successfully in automotive and aerospace industries and applied recently to endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.

Editor's Choice - Outcomes of Cold Stored Saphenous Vein Allografts for Haemodialysis Vascular Access.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of cold stored saphenous vein allografts (CSVAs) for haemodialysis vascular access.

Methods: A retrospective, two centre study was conducted between January 2016 and December 2020 of all patients who had CSVA placement for haemodialysis vascular access. Primary, primary assisted, and secondary patency were analysed, as well as procedural complications and re-interventions.

Hypnosis during Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair.

(1) Endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair (EVAR) is associated with a reduction in early morbidity and mortality compared with open repair. Procedures performed under hypnosis might represent an alternative to further reduce the risks related to general anesthesia (GA). This study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of hypnosis and local anesthesia during EVAR.
