Cannabinoid exposure during pregnancy: Cardiorespiratory effects and offspring outcomes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to cannabinoids has been investigated across human and animal studies to understand its impact on physiological development. Evidence suggests that early‐life cannabinoid exposure influence multiple developmental processes, extending beyond neurodevelopmental outcomes to potentially affect placental function ...

First Evaluation of Ultrafast Ultrasound Coupled With Phrenic Stimulation for Noninvasive Diagnosis of Diaphragm Dysfunction

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Diaphragm dysfunction is an important and often unrecognized cause of dyspnea. The current gold standard, transdiaphragmatic twitch pressure (Pdi,tw), requires oesophageal and gastric balloon catheters and is infrequently used in routine care.

Optimizing anatomic site selection for needle decompression and chest tube placement for pneumothorax in pregnancy

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Tension pneumothorax can cause life‐threatening respiratory and cardiac complications. Prompt decompression is essential, with current guidelines favoring the fourth or fifth intercostal space (ICS) at the anterior axillary line (AAL) over the traditional second ICS at the midclavicular line (MCL).

The acute effects of exercise on fetal well‐being in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction with normal Dopplers: A prospective study

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Background The potential risks and benefits of moderate‐intensity exercise in the management of fetal growth restriction (FGR) are controversial. Objective We sought to evaluate fetal responses to a 30‐min bout of moderate‐intensity exercise in pregnancies complicated by FGR.

The Completion Rate of the Mid‐Trimester Fetal Anatomy Scan: A Clinical Audit

Sonography, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Auditing of imaging examinations for completion and quality assurance purposes is often utilized in diagnostic imaging, comparing the performance of examinations to accepted protocols. Clinical audits of the mid‐trimester anatomy ultrasound (AUS) can identify areas for improvement and training.

Hamman's crunch—A pathognomonic sign of pneumomediastinum

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 9, Page e571-e576, September 2026.
Summary Pneumomediastinum, particularly spontaneous pneumomediastinum, is uncommon and presents a diagnostic challenge. In human medicine, auscultation of Hamman's crunch, a crepitant, crunching noise, audible over the cardiac region in synchrony with the heartbeat, is considered pathognomonic for pneumomediastinum.
