Systemic depletion of CD11b+ cells improves metabolic function in murine model of sleep apnea induced by intermittent hypoxia.

Published: 2026-07-13

Sleep

Medical Digest Indexed: 2026-07-14

This study investigates the role of CD11b+ monocytes and macrophages in metabolic dysfunction associated with intermittent hypoxia (IH) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Using a transgenic mouse model, the researchers found that depleting CD11b+ cells significantly improved insulin sensitivity an...

Blood mNGS: an effective non-invasive diagnostic tool for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia.

Published: 2026-07-13

BMC microbiology

Medical Digest Indexed: 2026-07-14

This study evaluated the use of blood metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in diagnosing Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) among 73 suspected patients. The findings indicate that blood mNGS can effectively distinguish PJP from colonization, achieving an AUC of 0.80 with high specifi...

Insights into extracellular vesicles in senescence-associated chronic lung diseases.

Published: 2026-07-13

Chinese medical journal

Medical Digest Indexed: 2026-07-14

Chronic lung diseases, linked to aging, have a high prevalence and limited treatment options. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a critical role in disease progression by mediating inflammation, fibrosis, and cellular senescence. Key microRNAs and proteins in EVs are influential in these processes...

AI meets sleep surgery: assessing drug-induced sleep endoscopy interpretation with a large language model.

Published: 2026-07-13

Sleep

Medical Digest Indexed: 2026-07-14

This study investigates the use of a large language model in interpreting drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) videos for obstructive sleep apnea treatment recommendations. In a prospective study involving 16 adults, human raters showed high agreement with clinical standards, while the language mo...
