New Metrics for Evaluating Viral Respiratory Pathogenesis.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Viral pathogenesis studies in mice have relied on markers of severe systemic disease, rather than clinically relevant measures, to evaluate respiratory virus infection; thus confounding connections to human disease.

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 ...

A Simple Measure to Assess Hyperinflation and Air Trapping: 1-Forced Expiratory Volume in Three Second / Forced Vital Capacity

Balkan Medical Journal, 2017
Background: Several recent studies have suggested that 1 minus-forced expiratory volume expired in 3 seconds / forced vital capacity (1-FEV3/FVC) may be an indicator of distal airway obstruction and a promising measure to evaluate small airways ...

Quantifying skin microvascular function responses to distinct forms of heat stress in humans using optical coherence tomography

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables visualization and quantification of the cutaneous microvasculature, yet no study has compared responses to distinct forms of heating in humans. We hypothesized that local skin heating (LH) would evoke larger responses in microvascular diameter, velocity, flow and density than passive whole‐body ...

Correlation of Air Displacement Plethysmography with Alternative Body Fat Measurement Techniques in Men and Women [PDF]

, 2012
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions with serious health consequences. Techniques used to measure body fat (BF) yield variable BF estimates, and this variability may lead to underestimation or overestimation of BF and subsequent treatment options ...

Body composition at 6 months of life: comparison of air displacement plethysmography and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry [PDF]

, 2012
Body composition assessment during infancy is important because it is a critical period for obesity risk development, thus valid tools are needed to accurately, precisely, and quickly determine both fat and fat-free mass. The purpose of this study was to

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.

Dysphagia as Isolated Manifestation of Jo-1 Associated Myositis?

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Dysphagia can be predominant or sole symptom of myositis. However, diagnostic evaluation is difficult in such cases. Here, we present evidence for dysphagia as sole manifestation of Jo-1 associated myositis.

Evaluating Sleep Apnea: In‐Lab Versus at‐Home Recording Time and the Impact of Positional Disease

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 8, Page 3639-3647, August 2026.
We evaluated the minimum recording time needed for in‐lab polysomnography (PSG1) and home sleep apnea test Type 3 portable monitoring (HSAT) to accurately reflect the full‐night apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) in patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
