Introduction: Long-term High Flow Nasal Cannula (LT-HFNC), defined as High Flow Nasal Cannula treatment provided to patients with chronic pulmonary conditions during stable phases, has emerged as a home treatment in different categories of patients with chronic lung diseases in recent years.

Methods: This paper summarizes the physiological effects of LT-HFNC and evaluates the clinical knowledge to date about treatment in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease, interstitial lung disease and bronchiectasis. The guideline is translated and summarized in this paper and presented unabridged as an appendix to the paper.

Results: The paper describes the working process behind the Danish Respiratory Society's National guideline for treatment of stable disease, which has been written to support clinicians in both evidence-based decision making and practical issues concerning the treatment.

The shape characteristics of flow hydrographs hold essential information for understanding, monitoring and assessing changes in flow and flood hydrology at reach and catchment scales. However, the analysis of individual hydrographs is time consuming, making the analysis of hundreds or thousands of them unachievable. A method or protocol is needed to ensure that the datasets being generated, and the metrics produced, have been consistently derived and validated.

Odours released by objects in natural environments can contain information about their spatial locations. In particular, the correlation of odour concentration timeseries produced by two spatially separated sources contains information about the distance between the sources. For example, mice are able to distinguish correlated and anti-correlated odour fluctuations at frequencies up to 40 Hz, while insect olfactory receptor neurons can resolve fluctuations exceeding 100 Hz.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by reduced platelet levels and heightened susceptibility to bleeding resulting from augmented autologous platelet destruction and diminished thrombopoiesis. Although antibody-mediated autoimmune reactions are widely recognized as primary factors, the precise etiological agents that trigger ITP remain unidentified. The pathogenesis of ITP remains unclear owing to the absence of comprehensive high-throughput data, except for the belated emergence of autoreactive antibodies.

Background: Several epidemiological studies and intervention trials have demonstrated that grapes and blueberries, which are rich in flavanols, can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the mechanisms of action of these compounds remain unclear due to their low bioavailability.

Objective: This study aimed to characterize the sensory properties, blood flow velocity, and oxidative stress of a polyphenol rich grape and blueberry extract (PEGB) containing approximately 16% flavanols (11% monomers and 4% dimers).

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of staged coiling followed by flow diverter (FD) in the treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms(RIAs). A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 patients with RIAs treated with staged coiling followed by FD at a single center, between April 2015 and September 2024. Patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, clinical and imaging outcomes were reviewed.
