A consistent feature of lung injury is a rapid and sustained accumulation of hyaluronan (HA). The rodent gut-dwelling nematode (Nb) induces tissue damage as it migrates through the lungs. Type 2 immune responses are essential for the repair of the lungs, hence Nb infection is a well-established model to study immune-mediated lung repair.

Method: This retrospective analysis enrolled 171 patients who underwent multiparametric 3T prostate MRI at our institution between January 2021 and September 2022. 86 patients received a micro-enema, and a further 85 patients did not.
Article Synopsis
- Crohn's disease strictures are typically managed with a single endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD), but researchers explored the effectiveness of repeat EBD combined with needle-knife stricturotomy (NKSt) alongside aggressive drug therapy.
- In a study of 21 patients, those receiving intensive treatment (multiple EBDs and/or NKSt) showed a higher symptom improvement rate (72%) compared to those with a single EBD (40%).
- The findings suggest that repeat dilations and NKSt are safe and potentially more effective for treating strictures, especially when paired with enhanced drug treatment for inflammation.
This study aimed to investigate how ecological constraints influence individual player skill demands in community-level junior Australian Football (AF). Footage from 68 junior AF games, incorporating 1874 unique players, were analysed for individual skill demands such as disposals, kicks, handballs, tackles, marks, and shots at goal per player per game. Multiple linear mixed effect models were created for each skill, using player as a random effect.

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the associations between cumulative opioid exposure (measured in morphine mg equivalent) over the first year of life and 2-year neurodevelopmental outcomes (Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-Third/Fourth Edition [Bayley-III/IV] cognitive, language, and motor scores).
