Quantitative evaluation of respiratory motion‐induced blurring in expiratory‐phase CBCT for pancreatic SBRT

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used in image‐guided radiotherapy because it reflects the patient's anatomy immediately before treatment. However, CBCT images of the abdominal organs, including the pancreas, are often degraded by respiratory motion.

Association of Diaphragmatic Thickness and Peripheral Muscle Thickness using Ultrasonography in Extubation Outcome

International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research
Introduction Patients in icu who are critically sick require basic life support in form of mechanical ventilator. Ventilator associated complication are common in them . Prediction of icu acquired weakness can prevent extubation failure, decrease in hospital mortality and increase icu free day. Thereby decreasing financial burden .

A single centre multidisciplinary team retrospective review of fifty cases of robot‐assisted surgery for diaphragmatic and thoracic endometriosis

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 8, Page 1614-1622, August 2026.
Robot‐assisted multidisciplinary surgery enables safe, efficient, and comprehensive treatment of diaphragmatic and thoracic endometriosis. Evaluation of DTE in specialized centers, in a multidisciplinary fashion, allows for patient‐centered operative planning and could avoid missed disease or incomplete management.

Effectiveness of ultrasound parasternal intercostal muscle thickness fraction and diaphragmatic thickness fraction on successful weaning from mechanical ventilation

Alexandria Journal of Medicine
Background Weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) may constitute up to 50% of the whole time of MV for a patient in intensive care. Aim To study the effectiveness of ultrasound measurements of diaphragmatic and parasternal intercostal muscle fraction ...

Renal Phosphate Reabsorption in Humans Depends on at Least Three Distinct Transporters Unlike in Mice

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Kidney excretion of phosphate is the gatekeeper of systemic phosphate homeostasis as evident from inborn and acquired diseases. Renal phosphate transporters are a promising target for phosphate‐lowering drugs, but molecular details of human kidney phosphate handling are largely unknown.

A high‐fat, high‐sucrose diet exacerbates muscle and metabolic pathology and undermines glucocorticoid efficacy in dystrophin‐deficient mice

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 15, Page 6440-6464, 1 August 2026.
Abstract figure legend A high‐fat, high‐sucrose diet (HFHSD) exacerbated muscle and metabolic dysregulation in mdx mice while also altering the physiological response to prednisolone (Pred) In diaphragms of control diet (CD)‐fed mdx mice, prednisolone treatment improved muscle function and reduced fibrosis, inflammatory signalling, and mitochondrial ...

Ultrasonographic evaluation of the diaphragm

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2020
Background Ultrasonography is a promising technique for structural and functional evaluation of the diaphragm. It is accurate, reproducible, and portable with no ionizing radiation. Multiple studies have reported ultrasonography as the modality of choice

A contribution to the anatomy of two rare cetacean species: The hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1797-1820, July 2026.
Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of
