Ultrasonographic assessment of diaphragmatic function in patients with sepsis

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology
Background Frequently linked to diaphragmatic impairment, sepsis serves as a primary driver of weakness acquired within the intensive care unit (ICU), a condition that can negatively impact both respiratory capacity and overall patient prognosis.

Respiratory Physiotherapy Techniques in Neonatal Intensive Care Units: A Scoping Review

Physiotherapy Research International, Volume 31, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Certain physiological characteristics increase the susceptibility of newborns, particularly preterm infants, to pulmonary collapse. In addition, newborns are prone to the accumulation of airway secretions, which, even in small volumes, can compromise respiratory function.

Guidelines for Pediatric Radiotherapy Simulation: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Radiation Oncology Discipline

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.

Evaluation of inter‐fractional anatomical variations due to compression belt placement reproducibility using MR‐guided radiotherapy treatment fraction images

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Background Abdominal compression (AC) using a belt‐based system is widely employed in radiation therapy to limit respiration‐induced target motion for abdominal and hepatic malignancies. While AC has demonstrated efficacy in reducing intrafraction motion amplitude, the interfractional anatomical consequences of daily compression belt (CB ...

Inspiration Time: The Ultrasound Variable Necessary to Study the Diaphragm Functionality. A Cross-Sectional Controlled Study

SAGE Open Nursing
Introduction The diaphragm is considered the main inspiratory muscle, and as such, its assessment is crucial in patients with respiratory pathology. It is known that the contractile capacity of a muscle is determined by strength, length, and the duration

Possible Paraneoplastic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Presenting as Respiratory Failure in a Breast Cancer Patient: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
In a breast cancer patient with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure, paraneoplastic ALS was diagnosed despite negative onconeural antibodies. Red flags included diaphragmatic paralysis, ESR of 120 mm/h, and CSF protein of 246 mg/dL. Clinicians should consider this diagnosis even when antibody panels are negative.

Targeted Superior Vena Cava Isolation Combined With Pulmonary Vein Isolation Versus Pulmonary Vein Isolation Alone Using Cryoballoon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 9, September 2026.
Cryoballoon‐based targeted superior vena cava isolation (SVCI) added to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) improved 12‐month freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmia compared with PVI alone (90.9% vs. 76.4%, p = 0.037) without increasing complications, supporting systematic SVC trigger assessment in atrial fibrillation ablation. ABSTRACT Background The superior
