Subdermal contraceptive implants are now commonly used throughout the world. One of the rare complications of these implants is migration to the lungs due to misplacement of the implant during insertion, with only a limited number of cases documented. Here, we present a case where a subdermal contraceptive implant embolised in the subsegmental branch of the pulmonary artery within the anterobasal segment of the left lower lobe.

Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of negative pressure, anti-choking devices (ACDs) in managing severe foreign body airway obstructions (FBAO) compared to traditional techniques such as the Heimlich maneuver.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in major databases to identify studies published within the past five years. Eligible studies were appraised for quality using the Critical Appraisal and Data Extraction Tool.

Wood-based nanocellulose is emerging as a promising nanomaterial in the field of tissue engineering due to its unique properties and versatile applications. Previously, we used TEMPO-mediated oxidation (TO) and carboxymethylation (CM) as chemical pretreatments prior to mechanical fibrillation of wood-based cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) to produce scaffolds with different surface chemistries. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of these chemical pretreatments on serum protein adsorption on 2D and 3D configurations of TO-CNF and CM-CNF and then to investigate their effects on cell adhesion, spreading, inflammatory mediator production , and the development of foreign body reaction (FBR) .
