Intermittent hand and forearm immersion in 20°C water attenuates thermal, cardiovascular, and perceptual strain in older adults during heat stress

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adults >65 years of age experience deleterious health effects during extreme heat events at a greater rate than any other age cohort. The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of acute intermittent hand and forearm (H+F) water immersion and/or chronic (7 week) folic acid supplementation on reducing thermal and cardiovascular ...

Severe Occupational Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: A Case Series of Four Patients Requiring Lung Transplantation

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page 323-334, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immune‐mediated interstitial lung disease triggered by repeated inhalation of organic or chemical antigens. Occupational exposures account for approximately 19% of all cases. Early diagnosis, identification of the responsible antigen(s), and immediate avoidance of exposure are crucial to prevent ...

Associations of obesity, systemic inflammation, and hyperinsulinemia with the incidence of non‐communicable chronic disease and mortality: A prospective cohort study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 3883-3894, May 2026.
Abstract Aims Obesity, systemic inflammation, and hyperinsulinemia are all features of metabolic syndrome and frequently occur together. We aimed to evaluate the association of body mass index (BMI) with incident non‐communicable chronic disease (NCD) or all‐cause mortality, independent of C‐reactive protein (CRP) and fasting insulin.

Exercise‐induced dynamic hyperinflation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 5, Page 2476-2484, 1 May 2026.
Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease caused by inhalation of noxious particles, most commonly cigarette smoking. The consequent changes in airways, lung parenchyma and pulmonary vasculature lead to increased resistive, elastic and threshold loads and impaired capacity of the respiratory muscle pump. COPD
