Right Ventricular Function Improves With Pulmonary Vasodilator Treatment in Pediatric Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension and Multivessel Pulmonary Vein Stenosis in a Single Center Cohort

Pulmonary Circulation, Volume 16, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction increase mortality in multivessel pediatric pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS). Pulmonary vasodilator use is limited in PVS due to the perceived risk of pulmonary edema. We aimed to describe our experience with pulmonary vasodilators in PVS and to assess changes in RV function and ...

Chronic Expanding Hematoma Complicated by Life Threatening Hemoptysis and Respiratory Arrest—A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
In this report, we describe a patient with the rare diagnosis of chronic expanding hematoma, leading to life‐threatening hemoptysis and ultimately type 2 respiratory failure. This case highlights the importance of proactive management for CEH due to its potentially fatal complications.

Shear Piezoelectricity in Poly(L‐Lactic Acid): From Molecular Chirality to Regenerative Materials Design

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
This review highlights how PLLA's molecular chirality and noncentrosymmetric chain packing generate intrinsic shear piezoelectricity without electrical poling, while crystallinity, optical purity, and molecular orientation define its design space. By distinguishing intrinsic d14 from device‐level outputs and connecting processing strategies to tissue ...

Comparison of breathing pattern and diaphragmatic motion in patients with unilateral cervical radiculopathy and asymptomatic group

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
Background The associations between neck pain and respiratory dysfunction were clarified in patients with neck pain. There is dearth of evidence on pulmonary dysfunction and diaphragmatic excursion in patients with unilateral cervical radiculopathy (CR).

Impact of Frailty and Diaphragmatic Dysfunction on Outcomes in ARDS: Focusing on Perioperative Respiratory Management

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 20, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study demonstrates that frailty and diaphragmatic dysfunction independently and synergistically increase mortality risk in ARDS patients, with concurrent conditions amplifying 28‐day mortality to 55.6%. A combined CFS‐DTF‐APACHE II predictive model (AUC = 0.851–0.889) effectively identifies high‐risk patients, supporting routine integration of ...

Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) as A Chronic Inflammatory Disease: A Clinical Case

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Delayed recognition and management of severe obesity and obesity hypoventilation syndrome may result in life‐threatening respiratory failure and multi‐organ complications requiring prolonged intensive care. In metabolically unstable patients, pre‐existing obesity‐related malnutrition may worsen despite obesity itself and contribute to ...

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

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT 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. We evaluated whether ultrafast ultrasound descriptors of costal diaphragm during bilateral

Response Of Diaphragmatic Excursion To Inspiratory Muscle Trainer Post Thoracotomy

, 2016
Thoracotomy is a great surgery that has serious pulmonary complications, so purpose of this study was to determine the response of diaphragmatic excursion to inspiratory muscle trainer post thoracotomy. Thirty patients of both sexes (16 men and 14 women) with age ranged from 20 to 40 years old had done thoracotomy participated in this study.

Feasibility and Safety of High‐Power Settings for Electrical Isolation of the Superior Vena Cava Using a Catheter Capable of Local Impedance and Contact Force Monitoring

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
High‐power superior vena cava isolation using a contact force– and local impedance–sensing catheter achieved safe and consistent first‐pass isolation. Local impedance decreased more rapidly than generator impedance, accurately reflecting effective lesion formation and enabling reliable real‐time assessment in thin SVC myocardium.
