Defining Healthy Weight Loss and Target Weight in the Era of Highly Effective Treatment of Patients With Obesity

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Highly effective anti‐obesity medications (AOMs) induce substantial weight loss and have renewed debate on appropriate treatment targets. Weight loss comprises reductions in fat mass (FM) and fat‐free mass (FFM), with skeletal muscle (SM) as the major component of FFM.

Muddy Water Pneumonitis: An Emerging Occupational Lung Disease in Professional Divers

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Chronic exposure to sediment‐rich river water in a professional diver led to progressive necrotizing lung injury mimicking tuberculosis. Bronchoalveolar lavage revealed Acinetobacter, highlighting a rare occupational cause of cavitary pneumonitis.

Toll‐like receptor 4 mediates lipopolysaccharide‐induced emesis

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 16, Page 4592-4609, August 2026.
Background and Purpose Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces inflammation and sepsis through Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation. Common laboratory animals do not exhibit emesis, but administration of LPS in piglets, cats, and dogs induces emesis via peripheral mechanisms.

Effects of Calorie Restriction With and Without Strength, Endurance or Mixed Training on Fat‐Free and Skeletal Muscle Mass in Overweight or Obese Individuals—A Systematic Review With Pairwise Meta‐Analysis and Network Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Studies

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 6810-6823, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Calorie restriction (CR) reduces both fat mass and fat‐free mass (FFM), particularly skeletal muscle mass (SMM), which is essential for cardiometabolic health and preventing frailty. This study compares CR alone versus CR plus exercise (EX) on FFM and SMM in overweight/obese patients and examines the effects of different training modes ...

Long‐term adverse cardiovascular changes induced by cocoa shell extract administration through lactation in fetal undernourished and control rats

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 3667-3683, 1 August 2026.
Abstract Cocoa shell extract (CSE; rich in antioxidant compounds) administered to adult hypertensive rats exposed to fetal undernutrition (MUN) reduces blood pressure, improving cardiovascular alterations. We aimed to explore lactation as a reprogramming window, evaluating the long‐term effects of CSE supplementation during this period. MUN and control

Elastic properties of arteries in hypertensive patients with hypertensive nephropathy and chronic stable angina

Patologìâ, 2013
Arterial wall changes are one of the arterial hypertension (AH) earliest complications. Hypertensive nephropathy is the widespread complication of AH which makes a substantial contribution to end stage renal disease.
