Exercise‐induced dynamic hyperinflation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
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

Test–retest reliability of Doppler ultrasound‐based leg blood flow assessments during exercise in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Doppler ultrasound may be used to assess leg blood flow (Q̇leg${{\dot{Q}}_{{\mathrm{leg}}}}$), but the reliability of this method remains unexplored in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where between‐subject variability may be larger than healthy due to peripheral vascular changes.

The role of agomelatine in appetite regulation and body weight in rats

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The hypothalamic nuclei play a central role in the synthesis of anorexigenic and orexigenic neuropeptides, which are regulated by peripheral hormones, like leptin and ghrelin. Melatonergic receptors (MT1/MT2) are prominently expressed in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus – an essential hub for appetite control – and in peripheral ...

Prediabetic cardiomyopathy is attenuated by hypothalamic PVN oxytocin neuron activation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A long‐term high‐fat, high‐fructose diet induces prediabetes with insulin resistance, hyperinsulinaemia, elevated triglycerides and metabolic‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in male rats. Animals developed prediabetic cardiomyopathy characterized by diastolic dysfunction, interstitial fibrosis and tachycardia ...

Muscarinic cannabinoid suppression of excitation, a novel form of coincidence detection

Pharmacological Research
Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the chief psychoactive ingredient of cannabis, acts in the brain primarily via cannabinoid CB1 receptors. These receptors are implicated in several forms of synaptic plasticity – depolarization-induced suppression of ...

Facilitating interprofessional collaboration for effective care transitions of a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 435-442, April 2026.
Abstract Transitions of care are the movement of a patient from one care setting or provider to another. Interprofessional collaboration is critical in ensuring patient safety and satisfactory health outcomes. Each time an interprofessional team transfers a patient, the team performs three important roles: representing the patient, providing patient ...
