Introduction: During sedation for gastroscopy, hypoxaemia represents the most common adverse event. The objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) for the prevention of hypoxaemia, in comparison with nasal cannula oxygen therapy, among patients predisposed to hypoxaemia during sedation for gastroscopy.

Methods And Analysis: This randomised controlled trial (RCT) will include 616 patients at risk of hypoxaemia when undergoing gastroscopy, including those with advanced age, frailty, American Society of Anesthesiologists grades III-IV, obesity, obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome, cardiac disease, respiratory disease and diabetes.

Neoantigen vaccines hold great promise in cancer immunotherapy, but the comparative efficacy of different vaccine platforms, particularly in the context of tumor burden (TB), remains insufficiently studied. In this research, we evaluated the safety and therapeutic efficacy of synthetic long peptide and mRNA-based vaccines, both designed to target identical neoantigens across different Lewis Lung Carcinoma (LLC) tumor burdens. We employed the LLC syngeneic mouse model, a widely used preclinical model for aggressive and immunosuppressive tumors.

The impact of oxidative stress from smoking on periodontitis and its underlying mechanisms remains poorly understood. Previous research has shown that smoking activates oxidative stress responses, generating harmful oxidative substances and free radicals that induce periodontitis.

Background: In severe asthma, intensive ("supratherapeutic") doses of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are often used. The prevalence of supratherapeutic ICS use and its impact on corticosteroid-related comorbidities is poorly understood. We aimed to describe the prevalence of supratherapeutic ICS use in severe asthma, its relation to corticosteroid-related comorbidities, and changes in prescribed and redeemed ICS dose after 12 months of biologic therapy.
