The role of the fractional flow reserve to guide lower extremity peripheral vascular intervention, specifically in chronic limb-threatening ischemia, has remained unclear. This series presents a novel use of the fractional flow reserve in four patients to guide lower extremity endovascular interventions in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia.

Purpose: Fractional nasal exhaled NO (FnNO), fractional exhaled NO (FeNO) and lung function tests were performed in children with moderate-to-severe persistent allergic rhinitis (AR) to investigate the significance of the above indices in the assessment and diagnosis of children with AR.
Methods: A total of 135 children with persistent AR were selected and divided into moderate-to-severe and mild groups; serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE), peripheral blood eosinophil counts (EOS), FnNO, FeNO, and lung function tests were performed.
Results: Children in the moderate-to-severe group had increased levels of FnNO and FeNO and decreased levels of forced expiratory flow at 75% of forced vital capacity as a percentage of the predicted value (FEF75%) and maximum mid-term expiratory flow as a percentage of the predicted value (MMEF%) .

Background And Aims: Coronary angiography-derived wall shear stress (WSS) may enable identification of vulnerable plaques and patients. A new recently introduced software allows seamless three-dimensional quantitative coronary angiography (3D-QCA) reconstruction and WSS computation within a single user-friendly platform carrying promise for clinical applications. This study examines for the first time the efficacy of this software in detecting vulnerable lesions in patients with intermediate non-flow limiting stenoses.

The year 2024 has witnessed substantial advancements in interventional cardiology, encompassing both coronary and structural interventions.In coronary field, trials have explored percutaneous innovations for coronary lesions, strategies for managing post‑infarction cardiogenic shock and non‑invasive approaches for guiding revascularization. The uploaded guidelines for chronic coronary syndromes emphasize individualized care, integrating modalities such as fractional flow reserve (FFR), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and new teatments, including cochicine, GLP-1 receptor agonists and bempedoic acid.

Escalating SOx and NOx emissions from industrial plants necessitates customized scrubbing solutions to improve removal efficiency and tackle cost limitations in existing wet FGD units. This work investigates the real-time intensified removal pathways via an innovative two-stage countercurrent spray tower configuration strategically integrating NaOH (M) and NaOH/NaClO (M/M) to remove SOx and NOx emissions simultaneously from the industrial stack through a comprehensive parametric study of absorbents concentration, reaction temperature, gas flow rate, liquid to gas ratio (F/F), and absorbent showering head. Flue gas stream comprising SO bearing 4500 ppm, SO bearing 300 ppm, 70 ppm NO, and 50 ppm NO brought into contact with two scrubbing solutions as M, and a complex absorbent of M/M at varying respective ratios.

To investigate the characteristics of type 2 inflammation in patients with nocturnal asthma, and analyze the improvement of asthma symptoms after the use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) combined with different long-acting bronchodilators. Data of 231 asthma patients who first visited the Respiratory and Critical Care Medical Clinic of Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University from January 2020 to June 2023 and had positive bronchodilator tests (BDT), were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into nocturnal asthma group and non-nocturnal asthma group based on the presence or absence of nocturnal symptoms.
