Introduction: Metallic luster dusts are decorative agents for cakes and other confections. While some powders are labeled "non-edible," they are also marketed as "non-toxic." We present a case of a child who developed acute metal pneumonitis after accidental aspiration of metallic luster dust.

Background: Adolescent mental health is vital for public health, yet many interventions fail to recognise adolescents as proactive community contributors. This paper discusses the co-design and acceptability testing of a chat-story intervention to enhance Brazilian adolescents' participation in the promotion of mental health in their peer communities. We specifically highlight the iterative process of co-creating this intervention with community stakeholders.

To investigate the characteristics of respiratory-swallow coordination (RSC) in poststroke dysphagia (PSD) patients following infratentorial stroke (IS) and further explore their association with aspiration. PSD patients after IS and age-matched healthy controls were recruited. Nasal airflow and sound signals were recorded using a nasal cannula-type flow sensor and contact microphone, which were synchronized with videofluoroscopic swallowing studies (VFSS).

Thrombus removal from the human body is facilitated through the utilization of aspiration catheters during minimally invasive thrombectomy procedures, where a pressure differential guides the targeted tissue through a flexible tubular medical instrument. In this paper, we present a patent analysis of thrombectomy aspiration catheter tip designs sourced from the EspaceNet database. Our findings reveal that enhancing the operability of aspiration catheters can be achieved by improving ease of positioning or suction capacity, whether through active or passive means.

Biomaterial-associated infections (BAIs) pose significant challenges in modern medical technologies, being a major postoperative complication and leading cause of implant failure. These infections significantly risk patient health, resulting in prolonged hospitalization, increased morbidity and mortality rates, and elevated treatment expenses. This comprehensive review examines the mechanisms driving bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on biomaterial surfaces, offering an in-depth analysis of current antimicrobial strategies for preventing BAIs.
