Ultrasonographic assessment of diaphragmatic excursion and its correlation with pulmonary function tests in pediatric cystic fibrosis

Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation
Background Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease that occurs due to a mutatioxn of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein, resulting in aberrant ion transport and dehydration of the epithelial surface lining, which ...

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

Exercise and Autonomic Cardiovascular Function—Insights From Spinal Cord‐Injured Humans: A Narrative Review

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The cardiovascular response to acute exercise is mediated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) control mechanisms that modulate vascular resistance to support blood pressure and ensure adequate blood flow to active muscles. These autonomic neurocirculatory control mechanisms include a feedforward mechanism, known as central command, and three

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 ...
