Disproportional ventilatory response to incremental exercise in individuals with cerebral palsy
Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 1139-1151, August 2026.Individuals with cerebral palsy demonstrate a disproportionate ventilatory response during incremental exercise. Compared with typically developing peers, respiratory frequency increases earlier and at comparable exercise intensities, contributing to higher perceived exertion and reduced ventilatory efficiency. At task failure, respiratory frequency is

Artificial Intelligence‐Based Identification of Common Canine Skin Lesions From Clinical Images
Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 471-477, August 2026.Background: Accurate evaluation of skin lesions is an essential component of dermatological examination, yet it can be time‐consuming and subject to interobserver variability. While artificial intelligence (AI) models have shown reliability in diagnosing specific skin diseases, lesion‐level identification remains underexplored in veterinary dermatology.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Purpose Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors often recur despite multimodality therapy. Although re‐irradiation (re‐RT) has historically been limited by concerns for severe late toxicities, modern techniques have renewed interest in this approach. Proton therapy provides dosimetric advantages that may enable curative re‐treatment with
