Differences in body composition between infants of South Asian and European ancestry: the London Mother and Baby Study. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: South Asian children and adults have a more adipose body composition compared with those of European ancestry. This is thought to be related to their increased risk of metabolic disorders. However, little is known about how early in life such

Breathing irregularities and postnatal hypoxaemia in an experimental model of essential hypertension

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Neonatal spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) exhibit inherent respiratory dysfunction in early life, including oscillatory breathing patterns and apnoeic events that cause oxygen desaturation and brain hypoxia, in addition to an impaired hypoxic ventilatory response.

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.

Evaluation of bioelectrical impedance analysis in measuring body fat in 6-to-12-year-old boys compared to air displacement plethysmography [PDF]

Air displacement plethysmography (ADP) has been considered the ‘standard’ method to determine body fat in children due to superior validity and reliability compared to bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). However, ADP and BIA are used interchangeably

Bioelectrical Impedance Versus Air-Displacement Plethysmography for Body Fat Measurements in Subjects with Abdominal Obesity: A Comparative Study

Applied Sciences
Obesity is a disorder with an increasing prevalence, associated with cardiovascular and metabolic pathologies. The amount and the distribution pattern of adipose tissue must be considered when managing this disease.

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.
